How Bad Could A Day Possibly Be? (Stressful Week 3)

13th January is a long day to wake up early for work and to arrive home very late while facing most of the shit throughout the day:

• The Northwick Park Station is 8 minutes walking distance away from the Kenton Station; however I have taken a much longer time before I could locate it because the signboard was only showing half-way and the Google map was unable to display the exact location. 
• Missed the scheduled train due to the longer time taken to find the station. 
• The ticket which I bought in Chertsey should bring me all the way to my destination, however I was not able to get through at Northwick Park and hence was forced to purchase another ticket but forgotten to ask for the receipt thus unable to claim for the reimbursement from the company and having had this to my own expense. 
• Google map is showing 1.2miles walking distance to the office from the Croxley Station, but upon arrival the actual distance was rather 4.8miles. 
• Taxi is not available everywhere at any time and an advance booking is usually needed (waited 25 minutes+ under the cold weather) 
• Supposed to have a discussion with one of the business manager but the sales meeting ran overtime until 5.00pm hence no discussion took place whereby I needed to leave as it takes at least 2 hours to get back to Chertsey. 
• The mobile phone reception was not too good and after several attempts of calling the taxi company, I finally get to book a cab but needed to wait 40-50 minutes. 
• The train stations and office area was rather remote and without any convenience shops around thus I can only have my late dinner while passing-by the Waterloo Station. 
• The National Rail service was delayed due to some obstructions. 
• When almost arriving back home, I was suffering from gastric due to the irregular meal hours. 

After arriving home at 9.00pm+, I rushed for a shower and went to bed as I still have to visit another London office early the next day.

Within the same week, the light bulb in my room was suddenly burned out and the washing machine was not functioning half way and I have had a tough time drying my jeans under this damp weather. In addition to all these unlucky events, my laptop was infected by a circulated virus in the office hence having a hard time to solve some of the work due to the delayed IT solution. 

This beginning of 2015 was not at all good to me, but hopefully things would eventually turn out to be better soon (though I doubted so with my current situation…) Hmmp...

On the other hand, at least I get to meet a very kind hearted lady at the Northwick Park Station who directs me all the way to the Croxley station, and I have being replaced with a new company laptop having the IT guys helping to resolve most of the issues.
