Good luck and horoscopes can kiss my dumb ass. To imagine someone like me, who always thinks twice and through believed in such magic is another title to my "The times I messed up in life so bad that even life itself gave up on me" table of contents.

I can't blame myself though, its problems after problems, chasing me from the moment I drink my every day no bitter coffee ,to the moment I snuggle up under my bedsheets only to find different kinds of insect species with it.

Everything seems so unfair but, oh well! Who cares anyway! I should just reward myself with a lot of sleep cause there is no other greater feeling for the day than unbothered sleep. I shouldn't waste time by thinking useless crap and just...slee-

"KARA! WAKE UP!" I jumped out of my bedsheets by the scream, staying wide-eyed, and immobile by the shock.

"Thank god that finally took an effect! You never failed to surprise me each time when you prove how much of an unbothered person you are. I even bought you extra sugar Cappucino coffee to light your day up so drink it up before it gets cold and damp." Eva, my roommate, said as she put on her shoes and fixed her hair. I looked atop of the table, to find the brand designed cup of coffee that instantly sent a smile to my face. Hopefully, today is not gonna be that bad after all, I thought to myself.

"Alright, ill be leaving then!" Eva exclaimed as she headed to the door.

"Ah, by the way!" she turned to look back at me before she shut the door behind her.

"You're 20 minutes late for work" She stated as she shut the door behind with a smile.

"Yea yea whateve- WAIT WHAT??!!" I cried as I looked at the clock and jumped out of my bed, taking ten minutes to brush and dress up.

"passing though! Sorry! excuse me!-" I kept chanting the words as I squeezed through the busy sidewalk, taking careful steps as to not crush my precious coffee on the way. Only if I had been minute early, I would've got the cab in time... I thought to myself as I finally reached my office building. I rushed to the lift and glanced over at my wristwatch, only to find that I'm sadly an entire hour late for work. Swallowing my fear and pride, I walked out of the lift and to the office room.

...

"SILENCE!!!" Our boss, Mr.Mason roared for the fourth time, silencing his poor staff who just tried their best explaining.

"The work was given to you two days ago! 73 God damn hours you good for nothing fools have wasted! Lacking behind and sucking your thumbs, thinking you'd get your pay at the end of the month anyway! Get away from my sight!" He yelled as they went back to their respective cabins in despair. As a designer myself, these kinds of scenarios are not what I had in mind when I thought of taking this as a career for life. I honestly thought things would be like a typical graphical novel but to hell with that now.

Mr.Mason sighed dramatically as always, enough to express how disappointed he was with us...until ...'I' caught the corner of his eye. "Crap!" I cussed underneath my breath as I slowly started lowering my head, hiding behind my cabin wall.

"KARA! IN MY OFFICE. NOW." He ordered as I involuntarily responded with a "yes sir". As I was piling up my papers to go to Mr.Mason's office, it was not long until I realized that all of my co-workers fixated their eyes on me, doubt, and fear in all of their looks that left me confused. One of them finally took the courage to speak up.

"Umm... Kara..." She began her words with a hint of shiver.

" You did see the email he sent last night right? Some of us didn't get the email and were trying so much to explain but he didn't want to listen. He said we planned together so we could escape from our irresponsibility towards our work..." She stopped midway, swallowing a few gulps as she continued.
