Service Unavailable Error 503

When Tuesday shows up dressed like Monday. When you get the shaft from those you work for. When you get thrown a bone but it smells like pity and could just as easily be thrown to someone else who already has their hands greasy and napkin around their neck. When you wake up to wonderfully rainy weather only to find that 80-some degrees of swamp weather has come with that rain. When your car requires a long list of repairs and you have the honor of deciding which repairs happen now and which will happen later. When you finally decide which of those repairs will happen now, and then you're called thirty minutes later to be informed the key to the locking lug nut is nowhere to be found, thus stopping the decided-upon repair. When you're sure you had that locking lug nut key replaced because you've had this problem before and you never wanted to have it again. When you have written and crafted a blog post and tried unsuccessfully to upload it to Blogger several times. When all you get is a Service Unavailable Error 503 message again and again and again. When that lame message is not even written in a witty apologetic way a la Flickr, like, "Sorry to ruin your day but maybe you should check your wifi connection." When the wifi at your office that builds things that run on wifi is so worthless you can't get your work - or your blog - done.

When all that happens, it's best to remember this little phrase:

It's about trying hard to be optimistic, but yet seeing the reality of it all. On that note, I'm going to Whole Foods where I will buy what I hope is a delicious lunch, knowing full well that realistically it won't be what I want it to be and I will have overpaid for it.

**Update**

Okay okay so for the record, I got some tuna noodle at WF and it was fucking delicious. Perfect for a rainy day. And no, I'm not aware of any tuna smell at my desk, what's that you say call center?
