The things I do

For a letter that needs myself to collect it. I wonder why the letter can't just be put into the post box. Why? I don't know, do you know?

Anyway, I told my uncle that I need to go and collect the letter before the post office or rather the people at the post office hehehe send it back to the sender. So he told me to take a few hours from work today to go and collect it, say around 10 am leave office then come back and do my work. Ok but I had to reply some few emails before I left, so I left office around 10.15 or so, arrive in the neighbourhood around 10.40, looked for parking space, found none near so ended up parking at the school compound, mind you its the primary school compound, so I had to walk to go back to the post office. At the same time thinking it better not be a big parcel but then again hoping it was more than a letter :).

Got there around 10.55, there was a long queue, it was 11.20 when it was my turn at the counter. Oh it was just a letter, a letter of offer to participate in some English Business programme, free of charge for one months training, but the flight tickets have to pay yourself :). What irks me is this, the letter was dated 11 July, I guess it arrived at the post office on the 21 of July since on the card it said 21 July, my Dad opened the post box on the 26, I saw the card on the 27, and I only had the time to go and collect today, the 30th. There you go, how then if it was some really really important letter, a matter of life or death? What then? * sigh *

And then, I went home for a while, ate lunch at home, surf the net, take a quick shower then back on the road. I was thinking of going to the bank to make my ATM card since I don't have it yet (yeah obvious reason) plus I wanted to see how much my salary is this month (sudah masuk ka belum). I was contemplating whether to go today or on the day I will ask for an off day. What the heck, alang-alang juga I thought, so I just went to the bank, arrived at 12.55 after going round 2 times and ending up at the basement parking anyway (why do I circle then if I know I was just going to go and park at the basement anyway?? Sheesh hehehehe) walked to the bank, asked at the Customer Service how to go about applying for the card, he gave a me a form to fill in and proceed to inform me that only the other CS could assist me in the ATM card making thingy. She was with 2 other customers. Hmm this could take a while I thought and it did take a while, a whole lot of while, say until 1.20-ish? Yup and I have to get back to the office before 2 (well my plan anyway, its not exactly a must). And there were lots of other people waiting for their turn too. What the heck I'll just come on my off day (bugger). I left with my head held high (ahahhaa) then went to the other bank and got some money from there.

*sigh*
