soon i found out my assistant had forgotten to make copie of a report i needed at nine o'clock , i was looking forwardto getting my paycheck. foolish woman! when i went to pick it up, the office assistant told me that someting had gone wrong with the computers. i would not be able to get my check until tuesday. disappointed , i walked down the hill to the parking lot. there i met my final defeat. in my hurry to park the car in the morning , i had left my parking lights on. now my battery was dead. even an optimist like me had the right to be discouraged
