The sad reality of stuff going bad...
When does stuff break?
Well... from my 24 years of experience..
Its 3:00 am
You have been out partying with co-workers
Your halfway between drunk and hungover
Your Asawa is texting "when u coming home? The baby is sick"
You left the lights on in the car and the battery is dead
Your BOSS is txting "Major problem with customer.. what the hell are
you doing about it?"
PNP cops are sitting in the parking lot waiting for drunk people to
exit the bar
Your Aswa's parents are also sitting with your Aswa
And thats the short list...
Do good stuff
