My day was a nightmare!

I had a job interview this morning but I

forgot to set the alarm clock. I overslept and couldn’t have a
shower or breakfast. I went to the garage putting on my shoes
and setting my hair at the same time.
The car wouldn’t start, and I was only able to make it work at the
third time I tried. The traffic was awful and I arrived at the
parking garage 5 minutes before the interview. Luckily I found a
spot, but a guy in a red Mercedes tried to take it. I cut him off
and managed to put my car there and – of course - he didn’t like
it, he complained not in a nice way and I had to tell him what I
think of people like him.
I was quarreling with the jerk when I slammed my finger in the car door, and I was so nervous
that I didn’t notice the keys were still in the car and locked it.
I didn’t have time to deal with it at that moment, so I rushed to arrive for the interview on time
and guess who the interviewer was: the guy I met at the parking garage!
I wish I hadn’t gotten up today.

Explain the title. Do you believe bad things always happen

the title is because the protagonist has had
a bad day
Have you ever had a day like that? Tell
how it was.
No I never a have a bad day
together? Why do you think so?
Not because it depends on how you
respond to these bad things
Have you heard about “Murphy’s laws”? What
are they about?
Murphy's law is a statement based on an
empirical principle that tries to explain the
events that occurred in all kinds of areas,
broadly based on the following adage: "If
something bad can happen, it will happen."

Number the bad things that happened to the woman:

Got up late and got into a fight with the guy from the job interview
What would you do if you were in the woman’s place?
I would take things easy
What would you have done differently? Why?
I would have gotten up early
How would you feel after a day like that
Sad and frustrated
 Rewrite the woman’s story. This time she’ll have a nice day. If she had started
her day differently, how would things go?

My day was perfect!

I had a job interview this morning. No I fell asleep and was able to shower and
have breakfast. I went to the garage with my shoes on and my hair done.
The car started and I was able to get it to work the first time I tried. There was no
traffic and I arrived at the parking lot 30 minutes before the interview. Luckily I
found a place, but a guy in a red Mercedes tried to take it. I offered him the place
and managed to put my car somewhere else and of course
he liked it, and he thanked me. I rushed to the interview on time and guessed who
the interviewer was - the guy I met in the parking lot!
