Bad day
Tuesday, 1st April, 2008
Ever had one of those days when nothing seems to be going you way?
Today was one such day for me. I knew it was going to be bad, I don’t know why.
When I got to the office and started my up my laptop, it threw up some warnings about suspicious behaviour from our corporate Anti-Virus system. That was my cue to flatten the thing and start again. It’s good to do this now and again with Windows as it’s such a shit operating system, and I had been looking for that final push to do this for a few weeks.
So I went ahead and backed up the important files I needed, and then re-installed Windows on the laptop. I then spent most of the day getting it back into working order, moving back my files and preferences for various bits of software, downloading updates etc. A total waste of a day, which didn’t put me in the best of moods.
However, I got to about 6pm and decided to leave the office and head home. My plan was to continue to work on the laptop and hopefully have it fully up and ready for use tomorrow for a full day’s catch-up at work. I lifted my mug off my desk and took it to wash it. I dried it, and headed back to my office, and somehow (I’ve no idea how) managed to drop the mug, which smashed into bits. I know it’s just a mug, but I really liked that mug, and it had an element of sentimental value for me, for reasons I won’t mention here.
That just about summed up how my day had gone. Here’s hoping for a better tomorrow.
I’m off to look at mugs online, see if I can find something that I like…
