Panicking
Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong
Murphy's Law.
So I had a deadline this afternoon at 4 PM. A friend and I agreed to split this project. Her electricity went out almost all day. My internet is acting out. It's 8PM and I still cant submit the project because my friend's part is not finished yet. I dont have my headset with me so I cant help her out, as I'm waiting for her email in a very loud and rather crowded Starbucks due to the said internet connection.
Seriously, I'm pissed. I hate missing deadline, especially for such an important client. An inter national organization, the one that I wished could continue to work for.
I dont get my internet connection. It was fine until I was going to email my part. Each time I tried to attached my files, the internet connection went AWOL. As soon as I unplug the cable or shut down my laptop, it went back online! I mean, seriously!
So I drag mom to Starbucks just for the internet and I've been here for almost two hours waiting for my friend's email. She still hasnt finished. Had I not been in a jam, I would've like the live entertainment, the gal has a lovely voice and the repertoire suits my liking. But at the moment I feel sick from panicking and way too much sugar from the brownies and the chocolate drink.
What a way to spend satuday night!
update: the car broke down around 10PM when we were about to go home.. great!

Hi Triesti,
If I were you I would go to omne of those warnet especially Snappy.
@harry... am with mom here.. plus snappy is far a way from my place.thanks for the suggestion tho
It's over four hours later now. I trust the technical problems over over by now.
Yet from times I had to cope with that deadlines myself I know missing one really sucks. Especially in case of a crucial client. I hope they will show some flexibility and will take into account it's due to circumstances beyond your control.
Good luck!
@colson, yupe.. I do hope so. At least they didnt ask me to pay penalty.
