When You Hate Life…

 When You Hate Life…

It’s the end of a long hard day, and nothing went the way you planned when you awoke that morning.  The coffeemaker quit—you don’t have time to pick up coffee on the way to work because you are already late.  Overcast skies reflect your mood.  Entering the door of your office, someone has piled ten new files on your desk for you to tackle.  There is no time for lunch, so you grab a stale granola bar from your desk drawer.  On the way home during a rainy commute, your car gets a flat tire.  Starting to call for help, you realize you forgot to charge your phone last night, and it is out of battery power!  At the end of your rope, you exclaim, “I hate my life!”
