   Just one of those days
  It has been one bad day for me. Not a total disaster, but just bad for my standards.I had to work this morning. It's a parttime job at a dutch postal company (TPG Post). It took me 45 minutes extra to deliver the mail (normaly I'm 30 minutes early) and it wasn't even that busy.Later in the afternoon my right knee starts to hurt. Haven't got a clue why. Apparently the pain my shoulders (bad sleeping position :S ) wasn't enough.Tonight I got a call from this girl. I was supposed to fix her PC tomorrow. Apprears she completely broke her harddrive (a pin broke off :| ) and she remembered she already had an appointment. I was really looking forward to see her. I just garthered enough courage to ask her to be my girlfriend (Love... I HATE IT *sigh*).Earlier today I started to download a Linux distro. It seems that my younger brother stopped the download. GAH!!!!! Now that I wasn't gonna fix that PC I was hoping to install Linux on my laptop. But no, the @$$ had to ruine it for me.It's now around 0.45 here. Looking back on the day I have to say that it's the worst in a long time.Sorcerer[edited by - TheSorcerer on August 16, 2003 7:06:07 PM]
  Ditto. We all have bad days. I left a 268MB file downloading one time while i went to sleep and when i got up, it remotely queued at like 2mb. As for the girl, don''t worry, you''ll most likely get another chance to "fix her PC."  RapidArp - My Live Journal;  There''s worse.One bad day for me was when i learnt that my father had a cancer.One good day was when i leartn that the chemical therapy worked, and that his cancer had completely disappeared.I''m lucky. Unfortunately not everybody had that chance.Y.;quote:Original post by Ysaneya  There''s worse.One bad day for me was when i learnt that my father had a cancer.One good day was when i leartn that the chemical therapy worked, and that his cancer had completely disappeared.I''m lucky.

Stuff like that really puts your life into perspective; you forget worrying about broken hard drives, etc... ;quote:Original post by TheSorcerer  It has been one bad day for me.

Qui fut tout, et qui ne fut rienInvader''s Realm;  I was down in Riverside, CA one time (about 8 hours away from home) when I was told that my mother has Chronic Leukemia. I didn''t take that too well. When I got home, she told me that the doctor said it wasn''t the "lethal kind." I''m still upset by it and I hope nothing bad happens. Another down time was when I was at a movie theater and they stopped the movie and an usher came in and was calling out my name. When we stepped into the hallway, he said my friend''s mom had just called the management office and wanted to speak with me. He said that she told him it was urgent. So I went to the office and called her and she said that my friend, Ryan, had just past away from leukemia. As you can imagine, I was totaly crushed by this news. I''ve lost 2 friends in my life and I don''t intend to lose any others until the real time has come. Infact, leukemia is my worst enemy. It took BOTH of my friends. The one friend....I....I didn''t even know it happened. It happened over night and the next day, during class, all these girls came in crying. When I asked what happened, this guy told me that Maria had succumbed to leukemia. Again, I was absolutely torn up. Just a few moments later, the entire morning announcements was dedicated to her. The school was rather quiet that day. I''ll never forget it.   RapidArp - My Live Journal;quote:Original post by TheSorcerer  Tonight I got a call from this girl.

But she said that she had an appointment? That''s ok - you could try again another time.Or did you ask her on the phone and she rejected you (that would suck big time) Free Game: Yet Another Falling Block Game;  Dude, if I were you I WOULD NOT ask her out right after fixing her computer.  That will make it look like you did it just to gain her favour ... so if she doesn''t feel the same way she''ll feel guilty about it.  Wait a few days, then call her up and talk to her then. ;  Maybe it was fate then...Maybe if you would have asked her then she would have said no...but since she had an appointment, you came to gamedev and got Bossk''s advice. o__________O
