Miki Gets Happy!

Posted on the 19 July 2013 by Mikidemann @mikidemann
I had the longest day at work yesterday. It was not a bad day, but definitely a frustrating day that just pushed me to that point. At one point I took a bathroom break just to get away. I walked out of the bathroom hunched over with my head hanging low and feeling so defeated. My friend/co-worker, Bihareh, looked at me and just started laughing because she'd never seen me look so worn down.
I had one task to complete and it should have taken tops 3 hours to finish up yesterday and it took me the ENTIRE day plus I still have the finishing touches to do today. I get woozy thinking about it. I kept hitting every bump possible and I mean EVERY bump. One of my co-workers didn't show up, so I didn't have back up to help me out and I felt overwhelmed to start the day. I had my regular work on top of so many project for our national convention next week and it was getting daunting for me. As I worked on my one project in indesign I about pulled out my hair! I tried to not let it get me down, but by the time I was ready to print the 39-pager out the printer went nut-so. I spent a few HOURS trying to fix it before I found another printer hiding that I could plug in. I got the second one up and running and printed out 7 pages before it was out of ink. At this point I was still motivated so I held my head high and ran to the store to buy ink. I got 19 pages in and it ran out of ink AGAIN so I had to run back to the store and get MORE ink. Seriously, there is nothing worse than doing 2 office supply errands in a day. It takes for freaking ever. It's only a 10 minute drive there but then I get in the store and wander around like a lost puppy until I find someone employed by Staples to help me out. I show her the ink I need and she has absolutely no idea what she's even looking at. I was like are you effing kidding me? I followed the big red signs until I found one that said INK and started to rummage and compare. I find the ink and stand in line for 5 minutes, buy the ink, drive back to the office, fill out a reimbursement for the ink and then start my project again. Only an hour of being back in the office until it ran out the second time and I had to do the whole thing again. It's just one of those tedious things that makes me impatient and frustrated. Finally the clock hits 4 and I hit the road. Before I even get on the freeway my gas light turns on. BALLS! I have to go fill up my car. $40 and one LARGE headache later I am headed home. I get stuck in traffic, my hair appointment was cancelled and my house is a million degrees because the A/C didn't turn on.
I needed a break. I went outside to get some fresh air but the air was too hot and just made me more tense. After my fresh air attempt failed I then turned to my ultimate cheer-me-up.. My favorite comedic band. The Lonely Island and my favorite song "Japan". This song makes me laugh so hard not matter what mood I am in. It's just so creepy and makes me laugh out loud every time. After listening to it 3 times I decided to record my happy mood take over. It's like watching a human turn into a zombie, except an ogre turn into a happy fairy.
Miki gets happy.
I hope my "music video" makes you laugh a little bit either at the song or at me being a fool, either is good by me! 
Stay tuned for Monday... I have my hair appointment on Sunday so I'll post a reveal Monday morning!Wish me luck!
What are you doing for the lovely weekend?
