What a messy DAY...

So today is the first day of my boss's vacation. What it means is the burden will be on me for the next 10+ days to get in in time and send out this very important list to 300+ people before the market opens at 9.

I got up extra early today because the last thing I wanted was being late for my "big day." Got to the train station extra early and hopped onto the 7. Before the train could even move out of the station, I heard, "Due to a stalled train, there will be no service from QBP to TS." Sh*t, I thought. It just had to happen today. Then I figured, well, it looks like the train will still run express from here to QPB. If it could get me there fine, then it shouldn't be a huge problem because I can always transfer at that stop. Or so I thought. The train finally moved out the station and we got to out first stop fine. Then came the announcement "This train will run local." Then we waited. We waited. Waited. ANNNND WAITED. The train just sat there and we were entertained by the constant broadcast of "A train ahead was pulled to an emergency stop and we are currently experiencing EXCESSIVE delays on the 7 line."  I swear if I had a choice to jump off the train at that moment I would've done so. I started to freak out and I knew at that moment that there is no way I can get to the office by 9. I felt awful because the alternate sender will be my boss's boss. He, my boss's boss, even had a talk with me yesterday just to make sure I am all equipped to send out the list and that he won't have to worry. Given the situation I was in, I had no choice but to email him and let him know that I made a false promise. I am fairly new to this job so every impression counts. This is definitely not a good one.

Just so that everything had to go wrong this morning, after I pressed the "send" button on my phone, I realized I was logged into a different email account and I specifically configured that account to not dispaly my name. Since I've never sent out emails from this personal account to my boss' boss, chances are he wouldn't recognize my email. At that moment, I just wish I could get on knees and pray.

I have very very very bad memories associated with a particular stop on the 7 line. Despite it's a great transfer stop, I usually refuse to get off at the stop even when experiencing delays. But this morning, I had no choice. I jumped off at that stop and ran for the next train I could get on.

I got to my seat at 9 and were able to send out the list at 9:02. That was after the market opened and the traders began trading. NOT GOOD. 

And tonight, there is a farewell party that I absolutely dread attending but I have no choice but to go. I still wanted to chicken out this morning, but then the person's email came in (and he hasn't emailed me in the longest time) and I now have nowhere to run.

Whoever wants my life can have it.

UPDATE:
      So I guess my unluckiness continues. We just authorized an employee to do a trade that he's not allowed to do...Although I wasn't the person who authorized it, I was the one who the person initially called. I am too tired to even fight this...
