Today I had left my home at 12.20 sharp to take some money out of an ATM machine across the road to pay for the Nanny’s services because the Nanny wound not be able to babysit the next day and needed her wage before 14.00 I was wearing something I grabbed really quickly, it being March and everything. The first ATM machine was out of order. It began to rain. I froze my nose walking to the second one, which was out of order. The rain turned into snow. I froze my cheeks before I reached the third one, dead too. My ears went as I walked up the fourth one. My hands were curled into the sleeves of my light coat as I banged my head against the fifth one, covered in snow by then. My ass went numb as I slid the damned card into the ATM number six, which spit it out, invariably, and by number eight I was a shivering mess, came home at 13.30 sharp, with no cash, paid the Nanny in green and read here that ATM machines in Minsk were out of order exactly from 12.20 to exactly 13.33 on the 24h of March, year 2011.
