when it rains
POSTED AT 03:45 PM
this should have been posted last week, but a lot of things have happened... anyway last week was probably
the most wet for the year, i don’t think i can recall any other week that have been slushy and damp.
...everything gets wet. another office friend of mine used our company umbrella give away lunch break, i suppose to do some errands in another building nearby... anyway, he came back in the office soaking wet with what used to be the office umbrella... it was nothing more than a mangled metal frame and wet fabric... limp and wet and looking pathetic. the office umbrella was a golf umbrella, the big sturdy kind... but i guess the wind outside was that ferocious. i hope umbrellas are the only casualties this evening.
...i get swamped. well so much for the short work break i have been enjoying... looks like some of my oh so huge projects that have lain dormant for almost a year now have decided to wake up and bite me in the ass... i think i will have to be super human again... demi god of herculaneum task... i thought i'd passed it down already, but i guess it is a permanent responsibility of sorts. sigh. oh, well at least it is something to look forward to... doing something big again... feeling important... significant... and everything else related to existentialisms. i suppose i should get ready before the work gets all the way up to my neck, i don't mind the flood of work, it's the swimming part to get ahead is the one i don’t like specially when it's up stream... i just hope it's the kind of work flood i can float over and ride the current. i really do hope so.
...things get gloomy. an office friend of mine found out her uncle got shot and her grandmother had a heart attack today... she was so grief stricken she was crying and sobbing on her work station... she was beyond consolation. i guess the compounded grief of hearing this news after going through another uncle's funeral a few weeks back and an aunt who had a mild stroke is just too much to bear. i could only stand silently, watching her as some of my concerned office mate was trying to console her. i feel sad in some way... and the gloomy sky wasn't helping and the rain just pouring like her tears. i hope she's fine... i know she will be.
