"One Of Those Days"

So as usual, my post is about work, but it's not necessarily the main topic, and for once it's not about the crazy antics that go on here.

During December, it was relatively quiet and at some points quite peaceful. Well the last couple of days have been crazy! And to top it off, yesterday I don't think I was quite all here, mentally.

This being said, I noticed that I said a couple of times yesterday to people, "It's been one of those days". One was to a client of mine, and the other two times (that I can remember) it was to friends telling them that I wasn't going to be able to come to a birthday party, and this is after leaving work an hour and twenty minutes late. So my reason for not coming to the party, and or getting back to the client earlier was, "It's been one of those days."

I started thinking about this statement. I'm very intrigued by it. What does it mean anyway? It's not like when anyone says it, there is a definite meaning to the day. Each person has their own definition of what "one of those days" is.

I've decided that I like it as an excuse. People seem to accept it. And it might be very valid, but even if it isn't valid, it will be accepted because people will imagine in their head what that day is. (Though I will say, yesterday really was "one of those days". I was just not feeling it, and work didn't want to leave me alone.)

You'll have to excuse me though, I've got to finish this post quickly, it's been one of those days.
