First World Problems

This week I have felt extra whiny. You know what that calls for: more cheese! AND a First World Problems post! :)

1. I forgot to bring a ponytail holder to work on Wednesday so I had to wear a headband as a ponytail holder instead. It sucked and was uncomfortable for most of my workout.

2. I parked my car at the train station and forgot to pay attention to the assigned parking spot number number, which I realized when I got to the pay box. I had to run back to the car and check before I could pay my $1 and almost missed my train.

3. I like to listen to Glee radio while at work. Lately they have been playing a ton of disco. Um, what's up with that Glee radio? No one likes disco, not even people that lived in the 70s.

4. My office provides milk for us to use during the week for our coffee, cereal, oatmeal, etc. Our floor gets a 1/2 gallon of 2% and a 1/2 gallon of skim. By Friday the milk is usually gone for my coffee and that weird powder stuff is not a good substitute. I'd rather eat garbage (maybe).

5. We had a team meeting at the office on Thursday. I saw a big bowl of something green next to a big bowl of tortilla chips. I was really excited until I got closer and realized that the bowl of green was guacamole flavored chips as opposed to actual guacamole. Guacamole chips never taste like real guacamole. There is no substitute. Due to this disappointment, I was forced to go out to lunch on Friday to have some real, delicious guacamole. Yes, forced.

6. I was running late to work on Friday. I had time to grab my gym bag but not a lunch. Therefore I had to spend my lunch break in line at a busy lunch spot in the Loop instead of at the gym. The lunch was delicious (and included guacamole), but now I can't get my workout on at the office.

  1. One time I forgot which spot I parked in and didn't realize it until I got to work! So I called the train station to figure out who I had to call to tell them not to ticket my car. FWP, indeed!

  2. Only those of us that take the Metra can truly understand the nature of this FWP. I'm glad you didn't get a ticket!!

  3. The Metra is my daily FWP. It is also my daily speed work. I park across the street from my train station at my fiancé's parents. I run across their street and about a block and then through the parking lot! Within the past three weeks THREE people have made comments as I got on the train panting. Last week, four people sitting together exclaimed, "You did it! We had money on you!" as I got on the train. Embarrassing. FWP.

  4. Haha, oh the Metra. I'm glad I don't have that problem, but we stop at some stations where that is an issue. I mean, I think the planners for these train stations need to think logically about this stuff. I mean, would THEY want to run over a block to make a train? I didn't think so. LOL
