I have to wake up now and prepare for my very tiring 9 am to 5 pm job. Of course, I love what I do but that doesn't mean it is not tiring. My boss at work makes it even worse, so you can imagine.
A quick note on who I am. I'm a young lady who isn't so young, a 29 years old woman, unmarried and single, yes, forgive the emphasis. Many people tell me that it's my lack of a significant other that gets me riled up all the time. I don't agree though, a lot of people are just annoying in this world and who says everyone has to marry, right?
I work at a finance firm but my finances are in the gutters. I help individuals and companies manage the flow of their money so they don't run into debt. A lot of people do not think highly of finance firms but it's obvious what happens with these people. 70-75% of them never run out of debt. I work in one of the biggest finance firms in town so it is fine to say that I have made marks in my career. I live in a well-furnished apartment and from time to time I try to enjoy myself with my friends.
I'm about to tell you what a typical day in my life feels like. I wake up at 5:00 AM every day of the working days. I say my prayers once I wake up and I proceed to the bathroom to brush my teeth. While doing this, I love to listen to music or a podcast about the economic world. I exercise by riding my indoor bike. I do not enjoy crowded areas so I actively avoid gyms. I can achieve the ripped body in my house as well, it's about consistency.
I take my bath after and this is always around 5:40 am. Around 6:00 to 6:10 I am always done bathing and dressing up. I'm not that big on fashion so I do not waste time dolling up. Most of the time, I fix my breakfast which is mostly noodles or bread with eggs and tea. While eating, I go over the files I couldn't finish the previous day or the ones I have to work on that day. After all of these, I leave my house and head to work, yes I do have a car and yes, I do not sweep before leaving, I do that when I get back from work (it's not a constant routine though).
This morning, I was done with all of my routines and I was headed to work. I got stuck in traffic and these motorcycles are never calm, they were blaring their horns and trying to escape through the narrow routes in between cars. During all these swerves and tortoise movements and horn blaring, someone hit my car from behind.
Ah! What was that? Who dare hit my car? I was ready to fight and the black widow in me had been ignited. As I got out of my car, I saw a young man coming out of the car behind me and he was all shades of cuteness and handsome. My determination to fight melted quickly like snow in the sun as he walked up to me.
He was gentlemanly in his approach and he spoke well with all the right words. We both exchanged business cards and he transferred the money needed for the repair to me because he still has to pay for my damaged car no matter what he looks like.
I continue on my way and got to work without any other scratch. As I walk into the office, I tell myself "We can do this again today. No one will intimidate us". This is like the everyday mantra that let me go about the day without having a temper burst.
My day officially started and ended with no hitch whatsoever because I was able to control my temper despite all that was triggering it. I drove home in peace.
I got home and slumped on the couch in my sitting room. As I tried closing my eyes to shut my brain off a little, my phone rang, and I cussed in my head. I took my phone out of my bag and it was an unknown caller, I answered the call in good faith because this was all I could do to hold myself back from shouting at the caller.
"Hello", I said and from the other end, the caller said "Hi, this is Kennedy. The guy who hit your car from behind earlier this morning." And from there, we conversed well into the night and I forgot about how tired I was. From there, it seemed like a bump in my car made a bump in my life too.
And yes, today was a good day after all.
Cheers.
Gingered Up! ❣️
