I'm actually laughing my heart out as I write this. 馃ぃ I can't recall the last time I had the most epic wake-up call like the one I had this morning. Lol.
The gods - rather Luchyl must be crazy indeed! Lol.
So I thought my annual leave started today, and I was vibing to the holiday mood. I didn't even bother checking my calendar or anything, I just rolled out of bed this morning, feeling refreshed and excited for the day. I even slid into Neoxian city discord channel and to catch up with friends.
As a lurker, I was greeted with a mix of curious and surprised reactions. Some folks asked if I was new, wondering why they hadn't seen me around before. But old some old folks were excited to see me, and that's when I slipped it in that I was off work for some days and thought to come for some catching up. If only I knew how wrong I was. Lol.
I even joined one of the appreciation giveaways hosted by 
After the fun chit chats for some minutes, I got off and did some stuff around the house, and even planned out my day. I was gonna make some chin-chin, and equally tend my garden. Weeds were already invading my pumpkin vegetables so I needed to handle them and also stake the vegetables.
So armed with my machete, I headed to the nearby bush, to cut a few sticks for the stakes. I was just chilling with nature until reality hit me like a ton of bricks. I was like, 'Wait, what's today's date?! And then it hit me... today is the 11th and I'm supposed to be at work!
"Damnit Luchyl! You're screwed!" I shouted at no one but myself! Lol.
I quickly gathered my things and rushed back home to prepare for work. A couple of minutes after, I was ready and on my way to the office.
On the way, I began to process how I forgot about work today. I was like, "How did I miss this?" How did I forget a day as important as a work day? Could it be due to the vibe from the long weekend or the excitement of going on leave? It's definitely the later.
I managed to get my behind to the office, and explained the situation. Luckily, they were cool about it, and we even joked that the euphoria of having a break must've clouded my judgment, haha.
All in all, it was quite a busy day but a productive one as I clinched some advertising deals. I hope I won't forget an important day ever again. Lol.
Have you been in this kind of situation before? I'd love to read from you.
