And God said "No. You're not going to work today."
Seriously. That icon says it all.
Here's the deal: I woke up this morning at my usual time of 6am. As I was staring at my cabinet, thinking of what to wear, I realized my brain wasn't working. After a few more minutes I said, "Screw it. I'm going back to bed."
I woke up again at 9am and got ready to go to work. At least I could apply for half-day and work still, especially since I actually had something to do today (as opposed to last week, when I was playing Picross in the office, even with our manager looking over my shoulder, because he knew I had nothing to do.
Things were fine, until I missed my stop at Ortigas, because I didn't get to the door in time. The man who was sitting beside me was elderly, so I had to tap his shoulder to let me through. By the time I got to the door, the bus was moving again. The thing is I STILL COULD HAVE JUMPED OFF, because when I got there, the sidewalk was still open, i.e. there was no fence yet. But the stupid effing ASSHOLE conductor didn't let me off!
I waited til I got all the way to Santolan because it was the closest overpass (I think) and there was an MRT station. I decided to take the MRT back, even if it was just one stop (but still too far to just walk down).
Just my luck, while I was still crossing, I saw a train pull up. By the time I got to the platform, it had already left. So I waited. About five minutes later, another train arrived. It was full. So I waited again for another five minutes. And... it was still full. I was getting frustrated, to the point that I said, "If the next train that pulls up is still full, I'm going home."
And it was.
Funny thing too. I'd said at that point, "Great. So... yeah, I'm taking whatever next train I can actually get onto all the way to Ayala!"
And the next train wasn't full anymore. It was like God said, "Okay~ Good. You decided to go home. Here, I'll let you on, now."
In any case, I decided since I was going to be in Ayala anyway, I met up with cea_chan for lunch before going all the way home.
Soooo I figure, either God was punishing me for staying up late last night, then not going in this morning to work... Or he really was telling me "No. You're not going to work today."
But really. Blech. If I have another day like this again, I'm seriously going to take that as a sign for me to move on.
