A Bad Day

I should never have deleted the chain letter e-mail from my computer. The letter clearly warned
me that if I did, I would have one day of bad luck. Unlike my mother, I tend not to believe these
types of things bringing bad luck: breaking a mirror, someone giving me the “evil eye,” or even
opening an umbrella in the house. As a result, I got rid of this superstitious e-mail with one
quick click of the mouse. That nt, however, as I fell asleep, I had the uncomfortable feeling that
something was not quite right. 2 When I woke up the next morning, I was surprised to find that
I had overslept and would be late for work. As I rushed down the stairs to eat a quick breakfast,
I tripped over my bag and fell all the way down. I quickly made a sandwich and packed it
because I didn't have time to eat at home and went to work. I got in the car but on the way to
work I was forced by the works on the street to take another road. Bypassing, quite far from
where I was supposed to be, my car ran out of gas without noticing so I had to walk. While
walking, I received a message from one of my colleagues in which he said that the boss is at
work, which is why I hurried. When I arrived I had to explain to everyone what had happened to
me and we were amused by this fact.
