camwynYesterday I found out I was living in a cut-rate country western song.
My dog didn't die; my cat, however, threw up all over the floor.
My truck didn't break down; my bike, however, remained stuck with its flat tire because the 14mm wrench I was specifically told to buy to get the axle nuts off turned out to be too small, and the next size wrench in the pack was 17mm and much too big.
I didn't get fired or lose my farm; however, I couldn't troubleshoot and assist a remote user because....
My wife didn't leave me; however, my laptop got knocked off a card table and when I picked it back up I had to use a USB keyboard on it and neither the wireless nor the Ethernet functioned any more, so basically I had to go into debt and buy a new one ASAP.
I didn't get drunk; however, I did console myself with half a bottle of homemade soda.
Yeah. Stupid-ass first world problems, I know. Note the title of this post.
