Busy day.
Today was a very busy day at the office. I don't know how Americans call this type of day, when you feel like you're working as a slave. A hard day maybe? Anyway, things started out as normal: bad news on TV and a rainy weather. Tuna sandwich for breakfast, pretty common stuff I guess.
The traffic was an utter nightmare. I wished my car had wings so I could pass over the endless line of cars, buses and trucks ahead of me. Usually there are traffic jams in my city but none like today's. It was really frustrating.
Then I had a lot of meetings with my customers, domestic and international ones. Things are not going well with our current project... we are far behind schedule and that is causing a negative impact on my cash flow.
Well... for better or worse this day is over. Tomorrow will be another day, hopefully better.

Anyway, things started out as normal: bad news on TV and rainy weather. I had a Tuna sandwich for breakfast, pretty common stuff, I guess.The traffic was an utter nightmare! I wished that my car had wings so I could somehow, magically, pass over the endless line of cars, buses and trucks ahead of me. Usually, there are traffic jams in my city, but none like today's. It was really frustrating!
Then, I had a lot of meetings with my customers, both the domestic and the international ones. Unfortunately, things are not going / have not been going so well with our current project, we are really far behind schedule and that is / has been causing a negative impact on my cash flow.
Well, for better or worse, this day is finally over. Tomorrow will be yet another day, hopefully, a much better one!
Good job! As to the English, nothing really worth commenting about. I just added some punctuation, a few adjectives, and some minor text to make it a more enjoyable read. Generally, when writing, it is a good idea to keep your tenses all the same. I hope this helps you. J. (Nice pic! I hope that you enjoyed your visit here to San Francisco! I live about two miles from the GGB and can see it from my front window (unless the fog has rolled in!))

Truly excellent writing Álvaro. You described the day very well. Sometimes, we might say that “I was swamped at work today,” but that is simply saying what you called a hard day (perhaps a bit more colloquially). Great job!
