I shouldn't have

I shouldn't have done anything. I should have stayed in bed.

They were short-staffed at Zac's for the breakfast shift so I volunteered, meaning I was up just before 7. And I'm blaming the rest of the day on that.

I couldn't remember what drinks people had asked me for even as I was making them and, as for sugar, the answers didn't stay in my head long enough to make it to the cups.

Then I went to Tesco's. You have to get a parking voucher and have it validated when you leave. I took my voucher to the machine and it said, "Invalid ticket." I tried again, same problem. 

Underneath it said to type in the code if there was a problem. I dug in my bag, found my glasses, and duly typed in the code. "Invalid ticket."

I tried a different machine; same problem. 

I marched inside the store to the security guard, waved my ticket at him, and said, "The machine's saying it's invalid!"

He took the ticket from me, looked at it, and then said, "That's because this is a voucher for £1 off Old Spice."

I came home and tried to finish my jigsaw. 

There are seven pieces of the tablecloth to fit in; I have seven pieces. But the pieces don't fit in the gaps. I can't see any obvious mistakes I've made. Normally this would bother me and I'd have to resolve it but as there are five other pieces missing I can't be bothered. So there.

And that's the sort of day it was.
