Murphy's law is an adage in Western culture that broadly states, "if anything can go wrong, it will." It is also cited as: "If there's more than one possible outcome of a job or task, and one of those outcomes will result in disaster or an undesirable consequence, then somebody will do it that way"; "Anything that can go wrong, will," the similar "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong"; or, "Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way"

I'm not Murphy...evidently, but I feel for this guy (go to the link above).
My story is not as bad but absolutely catastrophic in my eyes so you must share my pain...
Thursday morning:I wake up a bit confused; the alarm clock didn't ring so I'm ten minutes behind schedule but I will live. I run to the shower and turn on the hot water and wait....1 minute, two minutes...DAMN, the boiler has absconded duty so it means no hot shower that morning but who's to argue at that hour.
after a cold-inducing shower, I dash out and do the whole changing thing and then breakfast and with twenty minutes to my lecture, I run out and as I hop onto my bike, I realise I have a bloody flat tyre....
Long and short of it, I get to class late, sweaty and tired and still numb from an ice cold shower but I lived to tell the tale...Murphy are you listening...
