And you though you had rough Monday mornings?

Here is a small snapshot of my Monday morning. Its pretty bad. The only thing that saves it, is that I am now sitting in the school library and have apparently survived the whole experience. But I put this out there for all of you to enjoy thoroughly.

Let me tell you a story. It starts with me pursuing a good opportunity and ends with everything being alright but it was sure hairy in between. So there is an opportunity to serve as computer support for the docs at one of our hospitals while they transition to a new electronic medical record. I will eventually need to use it myself and it is a good way to network and learn my way around a really complicated place. So everything sounds good right? Today was my first day. Here is what happened:
1. My alarm goes off at 5:15. Did I mention that this all started at 7?
2. Suki (my cat) spent the weekend at my parents house and apparently did little else than eat so she is feeling extremely sloggy and acting funny,
3. I didn't have any cereal. I NEED cereal like a caffeine addict needs coffee, need I say more?
4. It is raining and windy and generally a monsoon outside and I had to walk 9 blocks to pick up the shuttle in the dark at 6:15. And my umbrella broke.
5. The shuttle is so late that I am just glad to get on it when it does come
6. Did I mention it was the WRONG shuttle? The shuttle makes a loop between the school and this other hospital and I managed to get on the school-bound shuttle not the other hospital-bound shuttle.
7. I am now at least 25 minutes late. I don't have anyone's phone number, and I still need to get an ID badge before I start.
8. The ID badge office doesn't open until 8
9. I find someone who gets me a badge (lone bright spot)
10. I manage to find the phone number of the office coordinator who is in her car. She tells me to go to their empty office and page the guy I am supposed to be shadowing.
11. Ironically, I end up paging him from his own phone. Uh oh, do I answer the phone when it rings? What if it isn't for me?
12. I finally get to the meeting place, wet, wind blown, with an ugly ID, and late. Very late, like an hour late.
13. Everyone is very understanding and they take me on a tour and I proceed to get very very lost.
14. And I was 45 minutes late to my afternoon class because I got messed up on the schedule. So I had to walk in to a classroom full of students while the professor is lecturing.

Someone shoot me, please.
