a failure kind of afternoon

I left work early this afternoon.

I took a stack of negatives to the print shop to have them scan them for me, but they don't have the capability to scan transparencies.
My car failed its emissions test.
I went to the bookstore, but didn't find an appropriate gift.
I went to pick out glass for my new shower door, but ended up picking the same glass that the guy had already chosen. I wouldn't have had to have gone.
I set my favorite Daffy Duck pot holder on fire by turning on the wrong burner. Then I nearly overcooked the goulash and undercooked the vegetables by turning on the wrong burner.
I barely made enough supper. No seconds. At least it ended up fine. And the awful scent of burning plastic eventually cleared.
