Typical working day

7:30 my alarm goes off.. i drag my self out of bed right away.. i dont snooze, i think the snooze button is for losers .
7:40 Im in the kitchen making my coffee , and thinking 'GOD why do we have to work ..whyyyy!!'
7:45 I make my bed, start my pc till my coffee is ready..
7:50 Mug in hand, i sit and breath. I think that 7:50-8:30 am is the calmest time of my day. im the only one up. my phone isnt ringing , its awesome!!! i check my emails and reply to them. check my facebook page, forums download songs.. etc the whole nine yards
8:30 The fun is over . time to get up and get ready to leave . pick out what to wear and pack a light lunch and out the door i go at 9:00
9:45 I'm in line getting my latte from starbucks,did i mention that there is a starbucks right underneath my office .. 'happy happy joy joy moment' its great .. caffeine fixes at any time during the day to keep me sane
9:50 I'm at my desk. working on my 'huji' breathing techniques that i picked up from my yoga class ..
10:00 My day has just officially started.. smile yasmine smile
10:00 Is always hectic. i dont know why. staff members run in and out of the office .. confused for no apparent reason .. i sort them out .
10:00-10:50 Its mostly calm at this time, i look through what i have to do during the day and fix what ever has to be done for the days following
10:55 -11 Staff members back again. funny ones i tell you! some are loud , energetic, some are confused .. it could get rather annoying for me to repeat my self 70000 times for tiny little things that have to be done. God are people slow or am i a genius!!
11-19:00lets cut this short how about that, for the next eight hours ill be on the phone practically none stop. booking, confirming, cancelling, convincing, explaining , translating ...and and and...the list goes on till my throat is dry and my eyes are blurry.. and its 19:00
19:10 Im out .. note i can never get the chance to leave at exactly seven.. just cause some people dont seem to understand the ethics of business hours and think that we should be at the office around the clock. and whats worse is that they take their sweet time!! ughghhhh
by this time there would normally be two scenarios . eithere i cross the street in a zombie like state head to the metro, hop on it and almost pass out get out and cab it home, or if I were still feeling fresh i would make some calls and send some texts to my friends during the day (shhhh dont tell) and we meet at a bistro or a lounge to sit and recap about our days..
22:00-22:30 I'd be at home. chitchatting with my mother. checking up on my brother. and then excusing my self to go to bed since i cant keep my eyes open.
7:30am my alarm goes off..........
