At one moment, you're reading your favourite fanfiction and boom. Your foot slips, losing the optimum reading position you've carefully sculpted over the years; whilst some may think of it as poor posture, it is the most efficient position to read - plus neck gains.
Anyways, look down below my desk amiss the countless tissues, obviously used to blow my nose; I see the broken power socket. The once pristine foot resting spot used to rock my chair stared at the ground quite ferociously. If this was a wuxia novel, it could be said that it gained spirituality.
Hehe. Luckily, I have a spare socket in the garage, and then I can go back to the scene where the MC face-slaps some mobs.

Why does dad keep on holding random parts of appliances around the house? Does he have a hoarding problem? Best not to mention that there's no need to get into an argument with an Indian dad - you'll never hear the end of it.

Now that the circuit breaker is off for the sockets on the first floor. I guess physics class wasn't a waste.
15 annoying stairs later
Now time to do the smart thing and not the annoying thing. To take a picture, what else am I meant to do? Refer to my textbook to know where a live wire goes? Nope.
"Screwdriver of the void, let your spirit speak and show your might", I say, releasing my in chunni whilst holding the screwdriver in a Simba pose.
Unscrew.
Unscrew.
Unscrew.
Unscrew.
Unscrew.
Now that leaves the brown wire.
Pov Change - To the commander and chief of the household
'I can't even watch the news in peace without the damn power turning off, the commander and chief of the household thought whilst flicking the circuit breaker up.
Pov Change - Back to the MC
''Hmm, these metal fibres are a bit bent. Let's straighten them out; it'll be easier to put in later.
CRAMP OF DOOM COMBINATION
As Rajan grabbed the wire, his hand cramped around it, then did his neck and his jaw.
URGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Then everything went black.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Rajan woke up to the sound of some pigeons getting handsy. Not the best way to wake up, but it's nature's calling, right?
Regardless, he realised he had a problem; he seemed to have some sort of interface in his vision.
Weekly Integration. Status: available.
Even though it felt fantastic to be like one of those spies from the movies, having some computerised contact lenses. It was scary.

Dollar bills, dollar bills
Keep on falling for me. I love the way it feels. I sang in my head, dreaming of the possibilities in forex trading.
DISCLAIMER I AM NOT ADVISING ANYONE TO DO FOREX TRADING. IT'S TOO VOLATILE AND EXTREMELY RISKY> DO NOT TRY THIS.
I placed the magical machinery on my desk and hooked up my second monitor.
Damn, this shit is rapid, I thought as I booted it up.
I launched chrome, opened up vantage and signed in to my old account, where I lost a lot of money. And connected the bank card with the university fees my father prepared for me.
A notification popped up on my screen £9250 deposited.
Now, how the f*** am I meant to use the time ability?
I scanned the keyboard, and my eyes fell upon a shiny red button.
'Oh, hello there, Rudolph', I chuckled to myself.
'What?'
Rudolph brings presents with Santa, and my little red button will bring me great happiness - money.
I loaded up the graph for USD30 and pressed the button, the page went white, and a chart loaded up.
ANALYSIS JUTSU
So there's a dip in right there, increasing to that value.
So I'll put in a buy order at that value and sell at its peak.
I wrote down the values and clicked the button again.

I pressed the button again, and one white screen later, a graph loaded up.
Time to put in a buy order through the advanced settings at x value and put in a sell order at y value.
And the lot size, let's go for 100, is the maximum we can use. So why not.
Order confirmed.
Well, this is too much stress for someone who just woke up.
Time to take a dump.
