I had a new start to work yesterday. It was Monday and when you start work or school on a brand new Monday, you'll get Monday blues. That is how it is with me. I was darn tired but still had to drag myself off to work. Personally, I wasnt looking forward to it. In fact, I woke up late and had to rush off to work. I missed the bus which will bring me to my workplace right on time, by just a few minutes. I couldnt wait for the next one to arrive because it would take me another 15 minutes of waiting time. And I knew my aunt didnt like people who werent punctual. So i decided to take a chance and run for the next bus stop before the bus that just left, reaches it.

You know how it's like. When you're so desperate, you think anything's impossible, including outrunning a bus. Oh well. Like expected, I didnt catch it. If I actually caught it, then I must be Superwoman. But unfortunately, Im not. And waiting at the next bus stop didnt help either. So I decided to take a quick trip on a taxi to my destination. But where are the taxis when you need them the most? When I dont desperately need a taxi, every one that passes is ready to pick a passenger. When I need one so desperately, they're all hired.

And I walked along the road, praying that an empty taxi would come by and pick me up but none came. I glanced across the road as I was walking and saw a familiar view from my office window. A building that is next to my aunt's childcare centre! Which probably means that if i walk in the direction of that building and cut through the other high-rise apartments, I would be able to find my workplace!

I ran like hell. Literally. Nah, Im just exaggerating but I actually made it. You cannot believe how happy and proud I was when I saw the office in full view. I made it there just 5 minutes late. Before I forget to mention, the next bus scheduled hasnt even arrived at the bus stop yet. Just when I went into the office, I didnt see my aunt around so I settled down to do my work. Half an hour later, while sorting through the documents, I heard the back door open and my aunt walked in, carrying bags of groceries. She was actually out buying groceries to prepare the childcare's toddlers' lunch this afternoon! Damn, I didnt have to run like that.

Oh well. What a start to a day! A new receptionist came in soon after and I wasnt needed at the counter. My aunt then assigned me the task of taking care of the toddlers. I enjoyed taking care of the kids and they were really adorable to start with. My little cousin came in after school and my aunt wanted me to take him out for a movie. He wanted to catch Corpse Bride so we went and did just that. Corpse Bride for a second time was still fun. My cousin bought the popcorn combo and we got a Corpse Bride accessory which he gave to me. haha. That was really sweet.

So I got home after that and I was already dead beat from the whole day. Today's different. The new receptionist is coming in on alternate days and I have my little cousin for company so its less bored. Oh well. My work day should be ending soon for today..
