Overtime on Weekday

Today is the first time OT during weekdays, again, dinner is provided. You will also receive a Taxi e-ticket. Presumably you can use this e-ticket to go wherever you want in a taxi, and the ticket will pay for you. Feeling a bit thrilled that I can ride a taxi home though it's only 20 minutes walk. It costs you AUD15 for a start, and it is kind of expensive transportation to me.

However, as usual, the stupid me thinking that I can easily hop on a cab during a storm night in Sydney city centre, has proved I am still as naive as I always am. Just after 10 seconds walk from my work building to the first street, I was wet from my knee down. And I was unable to see a single cab that was vacant... !#%@#$@!!! They booked the cab before they leave the office!!!

So... since I was half wet already, I will not going to wait in the rain for God knows how long for a vacant cab. So I walked home, even I have a free taxi ride home... I walked 20 minutes home, I was drenched from my waist down and wet from the neck up... coz my umbrella was leaking.

Even with all these ordeal, I walked home with a smile. Just thinking why didn't I wear a skirt today with thong, so I can step on the water without worry. Hahaa~ More importantly, I saw many people on the street being wet by this ferocious storm are wearing a smile. Maybe they find it's funny to get wet, or maybe they think this is just part of life, embrace it with either a frown or a smile. They choose a smile. ^-^
