made a boo-boo today. forgot that it's tue and that we have staff mtg. oops. kinda remembered when i got to the car, but then i was rushing home to mail something. decided that the latter was more important, so i left. texted S to take notes for me. it was a briefing on safety procedures. oops. oh wells.
anyway, got home, rushed to the post office. got in line for a long while and when the lady was weighing my parcel, i realized i had no money. sigh. at the time i leave, there's like 7 minutes left before the post office would close. i walk home quickly, half deciding if i shld run, half deciding if i shld take a risk: grab my wallet and drive over.. well, that's what i did! i reached the post office 1 minute before closing time, but was greeted with a "we're closed." i tried to explain myself to someone at the counter, next to the clerk who served me -- i had weighed my stuff earlier but forgot my wallet so went home to get it. she just smiled and said "i'm not manning this booth." the clerk overheard me and acknowledged aloud that i was there earlier. i didn't know what to read of her response so i hung around and she served me! thankfully mine was an easy one. i thanked her and then left. glad i took that risk.
on another note, some days are getting more awkward. hopefully, things will improve! can't ask for anything, can i?
