- Sunday, arrive at MoMA to discover Tim Burton exhibit--the reason for the trip--is sold out.
- Sunday evening, realize we are short $2 for our cash-only tab at Katz's.
- Their ATM is broken.
- The line for the credit card check-out is enormous. Lady in front of Chris is apparently buying Sunday dinner for a family of 45. Slowly.
- Miss bus home by 2 minutes. Watch it pull away.
- Blessedly catch next bus. Can't sit with Chris. Overhead light is broken, so I have to sit in the dark for 4 hours with no one to talk to.
- Arrive in Baltimore and realize we have to walk home because I forgot my parking garage ticket.
- Monday, 8am, go to move my car from garage by 9am deadline and the battery is dead.
- Monday night, Chris comes to jump my car; cables are too short. Luckily (!) a stranger arrives on the scene just in time.
- Tuesday morning, battery has died again. Chris has already left for work. Stuck working from home for the sixth time in a row.
- Wednesday morning, Chris comes to jump my car. He connects his battery to mine, and my doors lock automatically--with my keys inside.
- Go back to Chris' for the spare key. Go to leave, but a car is stalled at the end of his alley, blocking our exit.
- Finally make it back to my car, get it started. Realize I have almost no gas left.
- Chris follows me to the gas station in case I need another jump. Rush hour: it takes 10 minutes to go the 2 blocks. We are both now officially late for work.
- I phone in for my 9am conference call. Phone dies 20 minutes into the conversation.
That brings us to about now. Boy I hope it's over.

oh man. That's a huge amount of stress.
Oh it has been! But the past few hours (lol) have been fine, and I'm starting to look back at the whole thing as comical. :)
That sounds a little like my last two weeks. But you win.
Wow I thought my life was bad. Yeah you beat me too!
