Anyone who recently had a "Yup, it was that kinda day" day. What happened?

A couple days ago I was swapping out my GPU. As I was carefully removing the glass side cover, it basically exploded in my hands. I don’t even know how.

There’s glass all over the room and I’m bleeding from the little shards that hit my hands and arms. Every time I think I got all the glass I find another piece. I finally get it all, replace the GPU and fire up the PC.

I hear crunching sounds that seem like they’re coming from the fans on the front. I shut down so I can vacuum out the remaining shards. As I’m taking off the glass front cover, that shit slips out of my fingers and fucking shatters on the floor.

I couldn’t do anything but laugh at that point. I cleaned up again and decided I’m not going anywhere today because it’s one of those fucking days.

5 minutes into my shift the other day I took a hydraulic shower because some dingleberry didn't report an accident where they broke a hydraulic hose on their forklift

They just parked it, grabbed a different forklift, then finished their shift

Then I came in to do my forklift inspections and got blasted with hydraulic fluid from the severed hose the moment I started my testing

So I had to fill out a shit ton of additional paperwork and scrub all the fluid off of me with the soap we had available (foaming hand soap)

I'm just happy that I had extra clothes in my car because if I didn't that would have really ruined my day

All in all, a really shitty way to start a Friday

Welp, I woke up again.

In November, I was sick for a month. I was coughing like crazy after contracting a respiratory virus.

Early December, I'm getting better. I was doing my things, like, changing my son's bedsheets, when I had a small cough. And I heard "clok" sound in my body, followed by a very intense pain in my ribcage.

I had cracked a rib. Not caused by how intense the cough was, but by repetition of the coughing for more than a month.

Well, I flew back from the holiday break at my mom's house. It was stressful and not relaxing because she's getting up there in age and there was a lot of stuff I needed to do with her.

Anyway, a few things happened with getting home that made the trip longer. Had to check in my carry-on at the gate because no room, so I had to wait for my bag to come through on carousel. Then, I had to walk 20 minutes to where my car was parked, because I took the cheap park-and-walk option like a chump. Finally got to my car, but by the time it was evening traffic, so it took me 45 minutes to get home.

I pull into the garage and am getting my bags out of the trunk, when my neighbor comes up with a cheery "hi!". Then she rails into me about how much she hates my dog barking, and that it's been 2 years of my dog barking, and I'm super inconsiderate because I don't bring him in after he barks twice, like she does with hers, and all the neighbors think the same. Also, she rents another house close by with tenants who work night shift and go to sleep at 2am, so my dog barking at 9am is also inconsiderate.

I was so fucking tired. This dumbass lady... I hadn't even been living here for two years. Her dog barks a ton, my dog sometimes replies to her dog barking. My dog barks but not for hours on end, just a normal amout before I get him in, which is a fucking miracle in itself because he's a great pyrenees. I've spoken to the neighbors, none of them think my dog barks too much, and how tf am I supposed to know you rent to night dwellers?? Tell them to get a fucking noise machine and put it on blast while they sleep, it's fucking 9am, there's a shit ton of noise everywhere. They're replacing the roof two houses down and start at 6, the day time is fucking loud. Also, lady, I haven't been home for a week. DO YOU SEE THE SUITCASE IVE PULLED OUT OF THE CAR??

What I said though is "thanks for letting me know, have a good day."

Had this really shitty day at work, last Friday of the year... my leg hurt (still don't know why, I think it's the footwear, but I'm not sure), had a lot of work that day (stayed overtime, not paid BTW). My wife calls me, says to pick up some things on my way home... OK. I walk home BTW, I live 30 minutes from where I work. I buy the stuff she asks... people from work start calling me, there's problem, they can't access some of the storages in the network... OK, I go back to work, walking on my busted leg, plus the stuff I got from the store. I get there, everything is working fine 😒... check the backbone switches, the storages, logs, it seemed like a glitch of some sort, a sync issue most probably. I start picking up my groceries and packing up to go home, shit happens again... OK, at least I'm not gone... it's 8PM by now. My wife calls me to ask me where I am, I say I'm at work, she hangs up 🤦... now I gotta explain why I'm still there. OK, go to the server room, the problem is gone by now, inspect the logs again, same thing... at this point, I'm this close to plugging everything out of the wall and plugging it back in again... to make sure I just yank a few cables and not every single piece of equipment in the rack (in case I decide to do this), I start inspecting how everything is connected, power cable wise. So, I pull out the backbone switches from the racks, one by one, and I start hearing this buzzing sound, like a bad electrical connection/plug... mhm, OK, I think we might be getting to the root of the problem, now let's see which one is it. I go to the back, start checking each plug on the back... everything seems OK... OK, so it's not the power plugs... at least not on the switch'es side. Something's still buzzing, so I try and pinpoint the sound. Seems to be coming from the lower part of the rack... darn, have to pull everything out to get in there. It's 10PM by now. So, I pull everything out and I notice 2 power cables not in plugs, but just connected with wires to another cable that goes into a plug. Why would they do that. Sure, they were insulated with tape, but why not just plug them in. Go in a bit further to hear if the sound is coming from there, move the cables a bit, the buzzing stops, but I hear coolers spinning down... OK, I pull myself out of there, go back to the front of the rack, sure enough, one of the backbone switches is down. As it turns out, they didn't have enough free plugs in the rack for all of the equipment, so instead of installing a new extension cord, they just cut 1 power cable, made a Y splitter for 2 of the switches and just plugged that cable in. Basically, there is no way of getting one of the switches offline, if you yank that thing out, 2 go offline. I pull out a few new power cables, get an extension cord from my office (we have a few laying around), plug those 2 the way they should be plugged, plug in the extension cord in the first empty power plug I could find in another rack, put the equpment back in the rack, leave the rack open cuz of the extension cord going to another rack and (finally!) leave work to go home, on my busted leg, with a shit ton of groceries... it's 11:30PM by now. I get home, get the 3rd degree for arriving so late on a Friday before NYE... I go to bed, my wife says she want's a backrub... I told her to suck it, left the bedroom and went to sleep in the living room.

... diarrhea

I was visiting family for Thanksgiving. While we were watching the news, my father and his mother got into a massive argument over politics. It got so bad that I had to go upstairs and ride it out. It was an immensely stressful expirence for me, and I hope it never happens again.
