Well, it was a bad day. \u00a0Those days where nothing turns out right. \u00a0For example yesterday, I met with the UPS vendor and turns out my time slot has been taken up, it is either one week earlier or later. \u00a0Earlier would require a scramble of stuff a madness that I usually try to avoid, later would be incurring the wrath of powers to be.<\/p>\n
Going back to the office to sort out a billing snafu. It turns out the admin support is on leave, but not on the Outlook status. \u00a0Emailed it out and hope to get sorted by Monday. \u00a0Switching my focus to another area, the bane of my existence, sign off forms. \u00a0Why do people keep messing around with the layout of these forms is simply beyond me. \u00a0Look for the right form and fill it right. \u00a0I had to undo and redo my corrections. \u00a0In the process, killed a few trees.<\/p>\n
While juggling with forms, I tried to put in a call to car agent to book a test drive for later in the evening. \u00a0No-can-do, only the next day. \u00a0So another item on the list crashed.<\/p>\n
As I was driving home in the rain, going through my ‘choice’ words for the day’s ‘excellent’ outcome, a Malaysian truck on the extreme right lane decided to left. \u00a0All the way to the slip road on the left shoulder. \u00a0The truck wasn’t filtering anymore, it was driving across the three lane road. \u00a0I was driving up to him and will soon T-bone into it.<\/p>\n
Luckily, in the moment of the vocal expressive monologue, my foot has lightened on the accelerator (gas) pedal, giving me an extra second to stomp on the brake and horn. Looks like the ‘choice’ words saved the day.<\/p>\n
Much later on, after an hour, I received an SMS that my glasses are ready for collection. \u00a0Now with words and the world in focus, looks like it wasn’t so bad after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
