not one's day, this is

not (one's) day

A day that has been particularly stressful, difficult, disappointing, or filled with unfortunate events for one; not a good day. I can't believe I got locked out of the apartment. This is just not my day. I'm sorry, sweetie, I know you studied hard for that test. It just wasn't your day.

not one's day, this is

Also, just one of those days. Nothing is going right for one today. For example, The car wouldn't start, it rained unexpectedly-this is not my day, or The phone has rung nonstop all morning; it's just one of those days. [c. 1920]
