start to the day

How the day starts for you is essential to how you feel for the rest of the day.

Last monday, I set off 10 minutes earlier than usual to work to clear some expected incoming emails over the weekend. Firstly, the first bus arrived late to effectively cancel out my 10 minutes headstart.

Then the connecting bus refused to come. For 30 minutes! And when it finally arrived, there were TWO of them. 2! What the HELL?

Did the drivers wait for each other to finish their breakfast before heading out together? Did they smoke and chit chatted together and then decide to set off at a later timing together? Or did they go for a quickie (which didn't turn out to be quick after all) in the handicapped toilet?

Ok, I shall not digress further.

Then when I arrived at the bus stop, it poured. Relentlessly, the heavens teared. And guess what happened as I finally got to the entrance of my office buiding. I saw my big boss coming out for an early smoke break! And during our weekly meeting, he mentioned that we should observe our punctuality in a thinly veined attempt to point out my fault. GEEZ... the awesome luck I was having!

Needless to say, the rest of the day was just awful. I just didn't know the rest of the week was as well. I hope this week is much better though.

And they dare to call me Orbin!
