The Necessary Rant
TODAY IS NOT MY DAY.
I woke up this morning thinking that I could finish all of my articles. I could have never been more wrong.
The day started normally, with me waking up 2 hours after I set my alarm to go off. I worked on a couple of articles for my American boss, and a couple for my Philippine-based job. Around noon, it started to rain, but I thought, "Hey, it's raining, but that's okay." After a loud clap of thunder, the fan beside me went dead. And that was when everything started to go downhill.
The lights went back after 5 minutes and we were able to eat lunch without having to break out into a sweat. I went back to my articles then the lights went out AGAIN after a few minutes. I was starting to get annoyed, so I whipped out my old notebook for the teachings in BLD and rewrote where I left off. The lights went back on, then I started on my articles again. I transferred from the living room to my room, then, guess what? THE LIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN. Comet, my netbook, had a broken battery, so the power only lasted for 3 minutes after the lights went out. My patience was wearing thin, so I decided to take a nap until the lights went back on again. To my aghast, the electricity wasn't back yet when I woke up at 4PM. Enraged and highly annoyed, I had 2 deadlines to meet, so I hurriedly took a bath and traveled to Bacolod to work.
Upon arrival at Starbucks, I saw that almost every seat was taken, plus the plugs were all taken. Luckily for me, while waiting and ranting to somebody on the phone, somebody finished up and I was able to take his place. I was feeling better already. I started to work on my articles, and when I opened my files, I saw that one wasn't saved. I tried retrieving it, but to no avail. I didn't mind that much because I was only able to make 1 paragraph. A few minutes later, I noticed that I couldn't log on to the internet. I waited for a few minutes and tried refreshing and restarting Comet, PERO WALAAAAA. I had to travel all the way to Bacolod for what??? I went on a wild goose chase for nothing. I did not make it to my 2 deadlines. KILL.ME.NOW.
