        Luckily I know a few tips about fire and I put off the electrical fire after a bit of struggle.

The roof I've been trying to keep over my head almost got burnt down by a stupid wall socket.. How great

     I plopped into my bed with my day's clothe and shoe still on, I'm totally exhausted, I turned to stare at the wall where I could see my calendar hanging.

   Today totally sucks I can't believe I got fired, well I saw it coming though but today was too close, and if I can't get a job soon, my deadbeat landlord will probably do the honors of kicking me out of his garbage asylum with a very big smile on his face. I groaned before closing my eyes I really need to sleep right now, I'm sooooooo tired.

       A sudden knocking on my door woke me up and I sat on the bed looking around, it stopped for a while then started again.
    I groaned looking at my desk for the digital clock but realized it's probably in the trash cos it got knocked off the desk by me earlier today.
"Hey! Ri.. You in there?" I could hear Jane's voice and suddenly got off the bed heading for the door.

She knocked once more and I groaned at the sound "Hold your horses J, I'm at the door"

"You sound grumpy, were you sleeping?" She stepped into my apartment looking around before her eyes landed on mine.

"Your apartment looks like a crime scene"  Jane said heading to the couch and I noticed her hair looking ruffled like she got into a cat fight.

"I arranged it this morning though, seems like it needs more effort" I uttered heading for my fridge to grab a can of water.

"I wonder how bad it'll look if you didn't arrange it this morning" She muttered and I rolled my eyes.

"Did you come all the way here to lecture me on my apartment's hygiene?, And that's by the way, why do you look like you barely escaped a cat fight?" I took the can of water before heading back to sit on the couch Jane sat on.

"That's because I got in an actual cat fight Ri, that old lady is crazy " She explained fuming while I gulped a mouthful of water.

"Tell me about it"

"Can you believe she actually thought I was a damn inspector and she kept smacking me with her umbrella yelling  I  quote ..' You and your darn company ain't gonna take me  in alive'.". At this point my best friend looked like she wanted to pull out her hair.

"Clearly those cat furs could be doing stuff to her" I said and she scoffed.

"She better head to a freaking asylum them" She said and I gave her a knowing look.

"I think she's pretty much in an asylum Jane" I chuckled and she groaned holding to her head.

"She hit me quite hard on my head now it feels like it's gonna split in two"
Jane complained and I chuckled again she turned to glare at me.

"Hey! It's not funny, you'd be in tears if an old cat lady with the muscles of Mike Tyson beats you up with an umbrella" She yelled at me feigning anger and I huffed.

"Stop being a drama queen"

"StOp BeInG a dRaMa QuEeN" She mimicked me childishly and I rolled my eyes.

"You done?.... Anyways how was work?"..I had to ask even if it's been barely a day I got fired.

"It's so horrible Ri, you're not gonna believe it, those darn rude customers are suddenly acting like demons, the cafe's out of control, it's like they take the 'Customers are always right' policy to another level" Jane rambled and I clicked my tongue.
