Crazy day it was: Everything just went wrong!

I foresee this might just begin a series of  crazy day it was at work..mean..almost everyday at work is crazy, only some deserves that coveted title..crazy..more than others.

Everything  just totally went wrong at work today..Started the day with this crazy memo I wasn't interested in at all (like most..really) but had to do anyway (like all!). That didn't look too bad, since a related one had being done in the past, so I can just Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. Then, all mighty internet kaput on me and the crazy day began full swing. At that point, the little thing I thought I'd figured out got completely messy, as it became the very least of my problems (..maybe it wasn't the least, but its way far from important too).

It started by it just not working. I got the flimsy excuse from my ISP that it was because rain was falling..then when the rain stopped I called them back cause it still wasn't working, marking the (..you know what, I am not going to bore anyone with all those details).   Eventually, sometime past six the damn connection worked.

Hey, that isn't the bad day..naa naa.. that was just what sparked it. As in between that and the other works I had outlined for the day: had to attend to this other pending issue about the new HO project; totally suspended one real memo work I was working on since last week; in-between, misplaced some documents I was preparing work on; looking for some other document  to corroborate the document I misplaced and now looking for; users making ridiculous complains about their systems/the network... and the list could  go on.

It was so bad, that I forgot to eat and didn't even know it, till the whole thing climaxed later in the evening..then I felt like I could eat a cow!.. No, didn't just leave afterwards..to cap the whole thing up, had to go to help some friend with some RRAS setup he had on his network cause he was at a remote location trying to get into his network and for some reason, the thing wasn't working..when in fact it worked fine before he left the previous day!..

That was quite some day I had today!...so so thank God its over!!
