Today's a wasted day.
It would not have made a difference if i didn't turn up.
Whoever's supposed to approve my new system access was not available. MIA? MC?
I couldn't haunt her down and folks i approached simply told moi to wait it out.
And so wait i did, for the whole day, while the form passes on and eventually ends up at the right place. *hopefully* .. before too much work silently piles up and jams up in the system like a clogged toilet. Mind you, i'll be the one sinking in shit when that happens.
To think that I was “studying” over the weekend, having been reminded to go through the manuals faithfully and all. I lugged home a black ring file and a couple of plastic folders in a most unglam state on Friday, so as to get a grip on the 101 rules and procedures in place and hopefully avoid messing up today. Apparently its wasted effort. *Sighs*
So miffed.
I guess that’s life. Things often don’t come when you want them to. When you’re free, there’s too much time to while away. When stuff comes, they come in a wave and threaten to sweep you off your feet.
Back in school, there may be periods of no homework, zero test, zilch. One wonders why all the teachers turned into saints. But before we know it, tests start popping up aroung the same time and we grip about the poor timing.
In uni for instance, there may be ‘droughts’ with no presentations and then there are periods when multiple deadlines fall on the same day or week. We work overtime to squeeze out reports and slides at the last minute and drive ourselves nuts. Perhaps the FYP tutor may be unlocatable for ages and then makes his presence felt when exam approaches, dealing a double whammy.
In relationships too, perhaps once upon a time you liked this person a lot and the person didn’t like you back or didn’t treat you the way you hoped he would. Perhaps when the person finally looks back, you realise the feeling is no longer the same or vice versa.
Wrong place, wrong person, wrong time. Happens all the time.
Things happening at the right place at the right time are perhaps more the exception than the norm.. *Sigh again*
*pensive*

*sighs* how true how true. Super connect to ur post. hahah.. out run the dark clouds gal!
Oh my god!
how true how true... sometimes the timing ain't right, sometimes the place ain't right, sometimes it was never meant to be.
Like liking someone only to realise that the "someone" is actually currently attached. then when the "someone" is finally single, then you yourself are attached. What splendid coincidence.
Outstanding!
well i guess sometimes it's 'you yuan wu fen' ba.. But for every unhappy incident, there is going to be a happy one to come. Life's fair in that way i guess.. :)
jia you gal in your work! Things will get better soon!
*deep in thought* all so philosophical...
