Today was an exhausting day. I had some emotionally draining phone calls in the morning and a busy day at work (my seventh in a row). I didn’t get out of the office until late, but still found some time to hit the internet cafe before going home.

(2014 Update) 1o years later I can’t remember what the draining phone calls were, or who they were from. If I had to guess, it was either a conversation with the ex or a call about sick relatives. Maybe both? Who knows. If I can’t remember, it probably only seemed bad at the time.
