My Day Got Sidetracked
So, I was just trying to get some work done this morning. Had my coffee, sat down, ready to tackle the pile. Then my phone buzzed. Glanced over, saw a notification. Didn’t think much of it, usually just junk.
But this one caught my eye. Something about Garcia injured. At first, I thought, nah, probably clickbait or old news. Ignored it for a bit, tried to focus back on my screen. Couldn’t shake it though. You know how it is when you follow someone, or a team, or whatever. That name just sticks in your head.
Finally gave in. Picked up the phone, opened the news app. And there it was, top story. Looked like it just happened. Details were still fuzzy, but the word “injured” was clear enough. Felt that little gut punch, you know? Like, damn, not again.
Digging for Details
Okay, so work was officially on hold. Went down the rabbit hole. Started searching around, checking different sites. You get all sorts of conflicting stuff early on:
- One place said it looked minor.
- Another hinted it could be serious, season-ending maybe.
- Then you got the fan forums, just pure chaos and speculation.
Spent a good twenty minutes just refreshing pages, trying to piece together what actually went down. It’s crazy how invested you get without even realizing it. Found myself getting genuinely annoyed at the lack of clear info. Just tell us what happened!
Putting it in Perspective (Sort Of)
After a while, I just had to put the phone down. Realized I wasn’t getting any more solid news right then, and I definitely wasn’t getting any work done. It’s just a reminder, I guess. How quickly things can change, especially in sports. One minute everything’s fine, the next minute, bam, sidelined.
Made me think about this time years ago, I was working on a project, totally consumed by it. Pushing hard. Then I tweaked my back doing something stupid, just lifting a box wrong. Laid me up for a week. Everything stopped. It’s not the same scale, obviously, but that feeling of being suddenly stopped in your tracks? Yeah, I get that. It sucks.
Anyway, just had to get that off my chest. Back to trying to salvage the workday, I guess. Hope the news on Garcia gets better later on.
