Gazillion Days - Single Day In History (by Jimmy)

MORNING

Ever heard the expression “I woke up with my left foot”. It just so happens that I did on one particular day.

I had set up my alarm clock on my cell phone for 6 a.m. and it turns out the batteries had died out in the middle of the night. I woke up at 8:30 a.m. I was already 30 minutes late for work. I rushed to the bathroom and took a quick cold shower. I dressed up and grabbed my car keys and head out to my car. But no, I grabbed my wife’s car keys instead. Another five minutes late added to my 45 minutes delayed time already. I finally made to the office after a long nerve wrecking hour and twenty five minutes tardiness.

AFTERNOON

I had no lunch that day I can tell you that for sure. I went down the hall to the vending machine to get a soda and some chips. I had to make up for the time missed already so had to get a quick bite of something. Keep in mind I had no breakfast and it was like 1:30 already. Turns out that vending machine ate up pretty much all my quarters while trying to get a soda. Luckily I had like three bucks on me, so I just decided to get some chips and cookies and went back to my 3 by 4 cubicle. I continued my work and just as I was about to finish, BAM! the lights go out in the whole building. I nearly had a heart attack right then and there. After a few minutes the lights went on again and I kept saying to myself “be there, be there, be there” referring to my unsaved file. It was! But unfortunately turned it in late.

EVENING

After this incident at the office, and my heart which was already beating at its fullest speed I decided to call it a day before I have another close call. Wouldn’t want to die at my 3 by 4 cubicle, no way. I headed out to my house, but at the parking lot some of my co-workers were there and they were going to go out to have a drink. I could definitely have an anti-stress reliever. Turns out that what was supposed to be an hour with some co-workers, turned out to be five hours. Ever arrived late at home without letting your wife know where you at and not having called her to let her know. I am sure some of you fellas must be saying “ been there, good luck” Yes, this was my day. It is like your mother yelling at you for arriving late to your house when you were a kid, only except that the yelling will go for an hour or so. All and all my day just had to end the way it began.
