Wednesday
I was on an emotional roller coaster for the past two days. I am actually not eligible to so-call complain about the issue but I can’t help feeling a sense of disappointment. Fern called two days back telling me about a trip to Lebanon/Syria/Jordan at an unbelievably cheap price, condition being you must be staff of the company. Fair enough. But she was so kind to help me ask for extension of favour from her boss so if there’s vacancies, I can go too! So that really perked me up for 2 days straight. Getting all excited and hyper about it. Afterall, I’ve been trying to sell this destination so that I can get more information/pictures, or even better, earn a trip from all the selling. So it goes that no one was too keen for the trip so we did not hit the min. number of participants and everything was due to cancel. That was sad isn’t it? I was disappointed but there’s nothing we could do. So I learnt to accept my fate. However, I got another call from fern later in the same evening, telling me that there’s a twist in the situation. Somehow, the counters were suddenly enthusiastic about it and there was overwhelming response. So instead of me not being able to go due to a cancellation of the trip, now I can’t go because there are no more vacancies. I’m disappointed coz I’ve been very earnest on going for this trip but alas, I’m still not given the chance. Can’t complain actually since getting to go is a bonus, not going is just expected. Sigh, but I’m human.
And as per Murphy’s Law, all things must go wrong at the same time right? First is the shortening of my contract, then this trip thing, and then last night, my dog broke loose again, this time in a coffee shop. Good gracious. She was obviously quite happy about her little adventure running and hopping around the coffee shop and creating a frenzy, but I was absolutely embarrassed for having to run around the coffee shop to get her back. Maybe my mom is right, just turn your back and walk away, and if she doesn’t follow, too bad, she can be a stray dog then. Oh god, why is my dog so unlike the others?
