Have you ever noticed that traffic is always worse when  you're in a hurry? Or that out of two things to happen, the worse one always does? For some reason it always happens to me :(

Like this morning.  See, I play an online game called Utopia.  It's a browser based game where you play a province in a kingdom of 25 where each province is managed by a real person.  Now our kingdom was in a war with another kingdom for the past 2 days and it ends at exactly 8:00 this morning.  I tried to time my previous attacks so that my army returns (my attack time averages 10 hours) home before cease-fire giving me one more opportunity to grab some acres (they return 30 mins before 8 :p).

Ok. I was talking about bad luck, right? Well, the first challenge I had to hurdle was that I had to be at work by 7:30 which was about the same time my army returns. So I decided to go to work early, and play from there. Easy, just a gimme. Unfortunately I woke up late and then I had to attack for my brother too which I thought would be no problem since his army returned much earlier than mine did BUT my isp chose that particular time to get congested (which almost never happens) and slow down my connection speed (how inconsiderate :p). Fine. I was off-schedule but I managed to get everything done in record time and sped to a block away from the office 20 minutes before 8. Then disaster struck again.  My car stopped and wouldn't start.  Wow. Talk about bad luck. I thought that was it as I couldn't lock the car doors and come back for it later. Fortunately a company driver was already at the office and I got him to come and take care of everything (seems my battery had run down, it was bought in 2004 lol), and I got to the office, logged in and was done 1 minute and 10 seconds before 8:00. LOL!

I can't really say if I was luck or unlucky... maybe I was both :S
In any case, I thought it was worth writing about. hehe
:p
