Tough Day

I just spent almost six hours out of the office. Most of those time were spent on the jam packed roads of the greater Manila area, specifically, Valenzuela City. Susme. Kapoy!

The only thought that kept me going was that I'm going home the moment I arrived at the office. All other pleadings, I will just finish next week. I was so looking forward to changing clothes and eating out with Ker in one of those restaurants listed in his Philippine Tatler compilation.

But lo and behold, just a minute or two before I pick up my laptop to head home, one partner came from out of nowhere and announced, "Wag muna kayo uuwi ha, may emergency meeting tayo." Sheesh. But since it was directed only to the associates of the corp division of the firm, I said, "Kayo lang naman yun di ba? Nako, uuwi nako."

But then, yeah, you guessed it. Less than a minute after, the partner came out again and said kasama raw ako. Naman! Tough luck.

If only I didn't drop by the corp division to chat. If only I left three minutes earlier. If only.

Waaaa!!!
