I got a gig... And I now have a problem.
I currently don't have the flare to write but I think I should maintain some level of consistency.
Late last night, a friend texted me telling me that he needs my help designing his website. This is the second personal website I'll be designing. The first is still in the works coz the owner isn't exactly ready to proceed with it.
This friend came to me last night with a crazy demand. He showed me some extremely creative UI designs and told me he needs a combination of a playful design and a serious one.
Like always, my self-doubts were brought to question but I told him I could handle it and I'll be doing this at no charge because he's an amazing friend.
His timeline is pretty crazy and I thought I would be able to handle it tonight but I recently found my laptop having an ethernet connection issue.
I can't connect to my mobile hotspot so I can't do any work at the moment. I feel like shit because I told him I would get the job done tonight but I can't work. I almost didn't write as well but I figured I might as well just vent.
I probably could have done this job in time if I didn't have to follow a friend to the market to get some shopping done. I have no idea when this issue began because I used my laptop in the morning.
At the moment, I'm powering down because I think it's high time I purchase some mobile data that could last me for an entire year. I'm also partially considering getting a new laptop but I know I can't afford exactly what I want.
Everything sucks and I'm not so happy. But I understand that these things pass and I'll get the job done. I keep trying, regardless of the setbacks.

Ouch ! 24 hours to create a website is insane, even if it's just a 3-page brochureware site without any complex functionality. Even for friends I'd suggest you get back to them with a timescale reasonable enough to allow for time to create and test it properly and with contingency for any issues. Doing it all in one day is guaranteed to make it a stressful process and mean you'll end up re-making it if it isn't exactly what they had in their head.
Last time I had a website made for me (admittedly a fairly complex e-commerce website) it was a 2-month project, and even that was considered a rush-job !
You should learn to put any doubts you have about your talents to one side - you have the design talent, you just need to manage customer expectations so that you can still have a reasonable quality of life and less stress !
It's a messed up deadline but he knows I'll meet up even if I have to borrow a laptop.

Yoo...Sorry, have you tried going to the tube...It really has a lot of answers for computer problems.
I'm powering down too. I hope that I won't end up the way I need up the last time.

It sucks. I spent almost 30k on data last month. Figured the 100k would be the most economical option.

If you're in bayelsa, you could always use mummy's laptop though.

Can't agree more on this. Why does such happen at times wherein it is important and we have some deadlines to complete?
I had been on that situation several times and it is not funny to catch up with everything. Hopefully, everything will work out real well for you Karin
