Why today sucked

1. Since my first check from a certain company had been lost in the mail, they issued me a new one. I drove there to pick it up this morning, to make sure I could deposit it before I left for Japan. It's a 45 minute drive each way, between the company and my apartment. I drove all the way back to my bank... where they pointed out that the check had not been signed, and refused to cash it. I drove all the way back to the company, had the check signed, and took it back to the bank, where I deposited it. Three hours on the road!

At least I was consoled with free sample manga. Wow, SexLove Pistols is magnificently cracked out: MPREG! Adorable chibi characters! Beast-people "descended from animals other than primates." I particularly like the children's book explaining the ways of the "zoomans." And the explanatory footnotes defining the term "enraged" and pointing out that mandrills belong to the family Circopithecidae. "

And the harried main character musing, "I can't take it any more! If I go out, I'll just see more animals, and they'll all look at me funny! And I'll get sexually harassed again! And to top it off, I'll be jumped by someone evil... and... I'll get JIZZED on!"

2. I returned to my FUCKING HOT apartment, where I smelled the unpleasant smell of melted plastic. I traced it to my only fan, which was plugged in but turned off. The motor was nonetheless extremely hot. Very disturbing. I am throwing it out, which means I'll need to find some place that sells fans and is open late if I want to sleep tonight.
