It Always Happens In The Shower | Showering Enthusiast

YoungFemaleScientist:

Yesterday was a typical day. All the equipment was working fine.

And then later in the day, it died. I don’t know why.

I had good samples, I thought I might actually get some useful data. So I fought with it for a while, but I couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

Then I sent an email to the repair person, shut everything down, and went home. Today I will try again to see if it is really broken.

I hate how these things can spontaneously blow up in your face, and this could happen at any time, but it always happens at the worst time.

So anyway I came home last night and I was pretty annoyed, but I sat there and said to myself,

“This is stupid. You should be grateful because things could be a lot worse.”

So I sat there and made a list of how it could be worse.

I said to myself,

At least I’m still getting paid (for now). So I can pay my rent.

At least I’m inside, and warm, and have a cup of tea.

At least I can watch tv for an hour before I go to bed.

At least I have a nice comfy bed, and it’s quiet here.

At least my car is still running, even though it’s old and that reminds me, I really need to get the oil changed.

At least I’m not in jail.

At least I’m not pregnant.

And so on…
