This Week Keeps Getting Better: My Week in Play Form

ME: I have today free. I should be able to get the paperwork together, clean the car, and go trade it in for a new one. No problem.

*FATE: Nope.

ME: Where the heck is all the paperwork?! No, it’s fine. It has to be here somewhere. I have plenty of time left.

FATE: Nope.

ME: How on Earth could I miss it when I looked there the first three times?! Now, I’ll barely have time to clean the car before we leave! No, no. It’s ok. They shouldn’t get here until 1.

FATE: Nope.

ME: 12:30? What? Did church let out early? Never mind. Give me a few minutes. It’ll be fine.

FATE: Nope.

ME: Ok. That took way too long, but the actual trade-in and new car deal should only take a few hours.

FATE: Nope.

ME: [sigh] That was a lot of time sitting around. At least I got my new car though!

FATE: Nope.

ME: You’ve gotta be kidding me. This…this isn’t the car I was buying. You know what? I’m gonna call. We’ll fix this right now.

FATE: Nope.

ME: Ok… It has to wait til tomorrow. Fine. It’ll be fine. I’ll go in tomorrow, and it’ll all be fixed. They open early enough. I should be able to get to work for at least a half day.

FATE: Nope.

ME: No work. Fine. I’ll shift those hours.

FATE: Nope.

ME: Why do people keep scheduling things in the middle of the day? You know what? Never mind. I’ll deal with it. And the week will have to get better after this, right? Right?

FATE: Nope.

ME: Is that the only word you know?!

FATE: …

^{*I would apologize for putting words in Fate’s mouth but… nope.}
