What might happen in a short story about a terrible day at work?

Maybe someone loses their job on a terrible day. They could be called into the boss's office unexpectedly and be told that they are no longer needed due to budget cuts or some other reason. It would be a huge shock and make the day extremely bad.

I had a terrible day at work last week. I woke up late and rushed to the office. As soon as I got there, my boss scolded me for being late. Then, I found out that I had made a big mistake in an important report. I had to spend the whole day correcting it. And on top of that, the coffee machine was broken, so I couldn't have my favorite coffee to keep me going. It was really a nightmare of a day.

Maybe things like losing something valuable. For example, you could lose your favorite watch. Or getting into an argument with a good friend over something silly. That would make the day feel terrible.

Sure. I got to work late because my alarm didn't go off. Then I spilled coffee on my important papers right before a big meeting. During the meeting, I couldn't find the report I was supposed to present and made a fool of myself in front of the boss. It was just one disaster after another.

Maybe it's a crazy workload or a difficult boss. Those can easily turn a workday into a nightmare.

In a 'crackling day' short story, there could be a lot of action. Maybe it's a day of a big storm and the thunder and lightning make the day seem crackling. People could be running around trying to get to safety.

Sure. One day at work, I woke up late and rushed to the office. When I got there, I realized I had left an important report at home. Then, during a meeting, I made a huge mistake in presenting the data. My boss was really angry and scolded me in front of everyone. It was so embarrassing and made the whole day feel like a disaster.

It was a terrible day. I had planned a picnic with my friends. I prepared all the food the night before. But when we got to the park, it started to rain heavily. We tried to find shelter under a big tree, but it was still wet and uncomfortable. Then, one of my friends got a call that she had an emergency at home. So we had to pack up and leave. I was left with all the uneaten food and a sense of disappointment.

Well, it all started when I found out I lost my wallet as soon as I left home. I retraced my steps but couldn't find it. So, I had no money for the bus and had to walk to school. On the way, it started to rain heavily and I got soaked. Once at school, I realized I had left my homework at home. That day was full of mishaps and was just terrible.

There are many things. For example, having a rude boss who constantly criticizes you for no good reason. One of my friends had a boss like that. He would nitpick at every little thing she did, and it made her dread going to work every day. It really made her days at work terrible.
