This morning
So needless to say my morning did not start off the greatest.
All was well this morning when chris came upstairs at 7 and said "jay don't you have to work today" which was all fine considering sometimes I sleep through my alarm and its a good thing to have someone watching your back. I did get a chance to sleep in though due to the fact that I had to pick up some parts at a local supplier, which was on my way into work, they don't open until 8am so it was a bonus for me to sleep the extra 2 or so hours.
needless to say that was the only highlight to my morning.
After waking up and realizing that my knee was extremely sore due to a rim hitting me when I was changing a tire last night was the first unpleasant thing to happen to me that morning. Limping up and down the stairs for my morning routine I finally managed to get myself situated and ready to leave the house for work. Leaving the house I looked on the front porch for a giagantic spider that had been camping out inbetween the railing and grill... this spider was huge I mean the thing def could have taken out a small cat (which would have been really cool to watch the kitten next door get devoured by this thing)... But lucky enough it wasnt there. ( I was trying to get rid of it due to chris' girl being petrified of spiders... esp this one considering she started to cry when she saw it last). So I meandered over to my truck and climbed inside and began my routine gettin on the road, start the truck, find some good tunes, crack the window, light a cigarette. Ok truck started fine, cracked window.... "holy **** thats a big spider on my sideview mirror" now me not really being bothered by spiders I thought to myslef "ok no big deal, when I get on the road he will fly off in the wind" WRONG! that little basterd just kept holding on 15, 25, 30, 45, 50, 55 MPH! (down main st (35 mph)) he just curled up into a little ball tighter and tighter in the upper right hand corner of that mirror. So I though to myslef "hey why not have a little fun with this little bastid since he is so persistant". So I roll the window down about 2/3 of the way and light a smoke... Slowly but surely I blow every exhale of smoke at this bastid... and nothing, thing just kept curling up tighter and tighter into a ball.... so I thought (well lets just put the lit cigarette right under him at the next stop) still nothing. So I finished my morning cigarette and continued to drive to my supplier to pick up the parts needed by manufacturing this morning. As i neared the entry to the road I needed to turn on to get to my supplier the truck in front of me starts to crawl to the extra lane on the left thats a turning lane only. Usually this would be enough to put me in a pissy mood as I am used to going at my own pace in the am until I get my morning coffee at a local gas station. Finally I end up able to pull slighty to the left at approx 1mph when I look to my left and see Mr giagantic I can kill a small dog spider swinging from a thread that apparently was left from ealier this morning to the top spar of my door like a crazed tarzan, I swear it was like something out of arachnaphobia (sp) when towards the end the spider is flying at the main charachter (forget the name) all the legs spread and fangs dripping when it got hit with a flaming spear or whatever it was... unfortunately I had to spear to protect myslef from this monster but my bare hands. I managed to somehow stop him him mid air inside my truck as I looked at this huge thing hovering above and to the left of my leg. My first reaction was to grab the web or thread he was hanging from and throw it out the window... nope no such luck bastid just dropped to the floor between my seat and door. I then tried to hit this monstrosity with my shoe. While I was being entertained by such an exciting circumstance my truck is still rolling forward... up onto a median and into what was left of a sign post. (enough to stop my truck dead in its tracks and give me a jolt). I then look around to see who saw my little exploit "phew, no one saw" back off the sign which i bent forward to about a 30 degree angle and move to the closest parking lot to exit the vehicle and inspect the damage to my vehicle and find the bloodsucking insect that is hiding in my truck somewhere extremely pissed that I had blown a ton of smoke in his eight beaty eyes. "phew, i think i got away with just a flat..... wait scratch that, I dont think the front drivers tire is losing air... its just the way its sitting", so I proceeded to my suppliers and then to work all the while chain smoking to keep the cat killer away from me during my 45 min drive that I have left to get to work. Get to work safely and get out of the truck and head into work....
now my day is getting better, I have run out of smokes, and the monster is still lurking in my truck lying in wait for me to get out of work and lunge at me.
I hope i survive the drive home

Re: This morning
I'm surprised you didn't total you truck on the way to work 
reminds me of the time I had a broken neck and I was driving the crx home from Windham at night. I was on rt 100 almost in New Gloucester when I noticed one of those fast spiders running across the dash. I'm probably the biggest wus when it comes to the fast moving spiders so needless to say I almost jumped out of the drivers seat. As I'm driving ( trying not to turn my head, because it was in a neck brace) I was using my cell phone as a flash light to illuminate the dash. When all the sudden the spider dropped doen from the headliner right in front of my field of vision! I pulled the car over and ran out the door! I wound up finding him and killing him but it was quite an adventure.
