It was 11 o'clock on a friday night. She started unlocking the door to her apartment. She's dead tired.

Earlier at 5, she was preparing to leave work. Shopping and Movie watching was in the plan. Well, a plan. Have you heard about Murphy's law? It says if anything will go wrong, it will.

Literally after a minute she started prepping, her boss and good friend Meredith, comes up to her and tells her that there was a last minute report that needs to be generated and the senior management needs the report end of day and that she would really appreciate it if she could work on it right away.

She agrees to do it. Meredith goes back to her office.

Oh well, it's perhaps one of those days. It isn't new to her, these out-of-the-schedule-reports-that-ruin-your-social-life, every now and then, comes up.

Ah, Nicomaine, she sighs and tells herself, another plan bites the dust.

She then fires up her computer. Looks like it's going to be another long night and starts typing.
