As I walked out my house this morning, still wondering why I decided to leave my cozy bed, a sudden wake up shook me: yesterday's nice and silent snow has been replaced by annoying wet humid (how else could it be??) rain. Thinking whether I was the only one suffering from the "This-day-is-too-gross-to-smile" Syndrome, I made up a test to see if I should welcome anybody in my club.
"How gross is your day" Test:
1 - You leave the house to go to work and:
a) the sun shines, you put your shades on and swing away like a rayban model
b) you realize that what seems niagara falls is actually rain, take your shades off and swing away like bridget jones
2 - You reach the subway and:
a) trotting like a happy beagle you jump in an almost empty train, sit and a brad-pitt-looking guy winks at you
b) after rescuing yourself from 10 pointy umbrellas, you spend the next 15 minutes waiting for a train, get in and after 2 sniffs, a career as sewer worker doesn't look quite bad anymore
3 - You reach your office and the doorman:
a) greets you with a smiley "good morning gorgeous!"
b) greets you with a "hmpff..."
4 - You finally made it to the office, walk in and look in the mirror:
a) your hair is silky and shiny from the sun and breeze and you smell like flower
b) your hair is gone on strike and smells like seaweed, you avoid putting your hands in it to not risk perpetual fingers-captivity
if you answered more than 3 b), your day is GRODY TO THE MAX!
if you answered more than 3 a), you are not in New York today!
Of course it cannot rain forever, as somebody much more famous than me said, but he was certainly not known for his weather forecast abilities, so..The good news is that a gross day is always a perfect excuse to cheer yourself up with chocolate and wine! Go home and celebrate!
