Work was a nightmare on Monday.
I wasn’t ready for the week to begin in the first place and I wasn’t ready for everything to fall apart at 9 a.m.
either. 15 minutes after I arrived at work, my boss sent for me to join him in the office. The first thing he asked was if I had seen the newspaper that morning. I grabbed the paper from his desk and I saw the headline. I knew we were in big trouble. One of our top investors got cold feet and decided to take his money somewhere else. This investor was supposed to give us two hundred million dollars for our new business venture. I spent all day on the phone and in meetings trying to figure out how we could fix the problem. I was tired and exhausted by the time I finally got home. I took the last train back to the house and walked through the door at 9:30. All I wanted to do was grab a cold beer and sit in front of the television for an hour, but the universe had other plans for me. I came home to a warm indoor atmosphere and the air conditioner wasn’t working. I checked a couple of things like the thermostat and the breaker, but I’m not a technical person. I deal with facts and figures and numbers. I wanted to go to sleep, but I decided to call the emergency AC repair service instead. I waited for them to come fix the problem.
