Hello Steem World.
Got up from bed very early this morning around 4am. The main reason was so i could better prepare and schedule my day. I had to prepare my notes for the class i will be having withing the day and lots more. So i spend about an hour preparing my lecture notes, after which i did some morning exercise, went to the kitchen and make some breakfast for myself, before finally having my bath as i prepare for work. After bathing and dressing up, i took along with my to work my saxophone because someone contacted me some few days back that she will be needing my saxophone services around 4pm.
Usually from my place to my job side is about 45 minutes drive, provided there is not traffic, but today was different due to traffic. It took me about an hour plus to get to my jobsite, arrived late but thank goodness my boss was not around because he is the only one who can shout at me for coming late. I went straight into my office, set up my working desk and my todo list as i prepare to face the day.
I had a class today by 10am to 12noon with my students, but due to the work load i had in the office, i went late for the class. When my boss came in, he sent me to go get some things in town which will be used to do a LAN connection in some of the offices around. I came back around 10:45am which means that i am already 45minutes late for my class. Immediately i came back, i took my laptop and went to class which didn't not even last for up to an hour because we had an urgent meeting around 11:30am to address some issues. I left class before that time for the meeting which lasted for about an hour. After the meeting, it was already lunch time so one of my colleague called me to her office and give me food to eat.
She was a reverend sister, and i have been eating rice since i was born but i have never tested this particular one she gave me with some beans to it. I dont think i was that different from the other rice i am used to, but it was good.
After eating, i went back into my office to continue with my todo list and before 3pm, i was done with what i had to do for the day but i couldn't leave the office not until 4pm and thats the exact time i had to go for a birthday party i was invited to come and play. I left the office by 3:40pm for the party and since the venue was far, coupled with traffic while going there, i arrived at 4:30pm when the people who called me where done doing the surprise and told me they dont need my services again and as well demanded for a refund because they had already paid me.
I told them i will refund in about a week to come because i had already used the money. Out of frustration, i left the place straight to Bambili, where some guys called me to come help them set up their starlink satellite connection.
I went and did the job and on my way back, they gave me something in appreciating for my services. I left their place, went back home as i called it a day.
Hi @saxopedia
Wow, what a packed day you had! Starting at 4 am to prep for your classes and fit in some exercise shows your dedication. Despite traffic delays, you managed to make it to work, albeit a bit late. Juggling work responsibilities with teaching must have been challenging, especially with unexpected tasks from your boss. It's great that your colleague treated you to a meal, even if it was a unique rice and beans combo!
Dealing with a cancelled gig and refund requests can be frustrating, but your willingness to accommodate shows professionalism. Helping set up the starlink satellite connection was a nice way to end the day, especially when appreciated with a token of gratitude. Despite the ups and downs, you handled it all with grace and perseverance. Here's to hoping for smoother days ahead and more fulfilling gigs! #comment

my day was indeed hectic... just the aspect of refunding that makes me go down up to date. Its not easy to refund money for a job, not because you cant do it, but of some silly excuse. hoping next time will be better
