Day 11 (26 May 2011) - 'You had a bad day..'.

...and what a corker of a day it was.  Today's challenge, set by 'im upstairs (and I don't mean Rod Hull) was simply to make it through the day.  Things that happened to me today included:

  • Slipping on a wet platform, crashing to the ground  and bruising my satsumas (and no, that isn't a euphamism)
  • Sitting through a two hour exam masterclass where every tip given contradicted what I actually did in my CIM exam. 
  • Losing my £1,076 annual travelcard
  • Watching six months work on a contract potentially go up in smoke at the 11th hour due to a new colleague deciding it wasn't the sort of partnership we should be entering into...and then being left to break the news to the partner.  Funnily enough, they weren't happy.
  • Getting caught in a torrential downpour without an umbrella or a coat
  • Getting abused by a bus driver
...however I have made it through and after a large glass of wine, the whole day seems so ridiculous that you just have to laugh.  And watching 'the Secret Millionaire' it makes me realise how little I actually have to complain about.  Apparently the millionaire made her fortune on the back of the mantra 'positive thinking leads to positive results'.  How about we all give it a go tomorrow and report back on the findings - what's the worst that can happen?

Tomorrow - back to the challenges!
