Monday morning.
And all was well.
Until it wasn't.
I showered, dressed, took my medicine, did my skin care routine, even had time to make my bed and choose a bracelet.
I was outside at the appointed time. It was raining, so I put on my waterproof jacket and dodged the drops and mosquitos for the required 30 minutes.
No ride.
At 8:35, I began my search for the truth.
I was transferred and put on hold three times.
WHAT WAS HAPPENING?!
Was my ride still coming?
Was I no-showed?
Was my ride cancelled?
Did my time change?
At 8:55, I was finally informed.
When I learned that my intended vehicle had been involved in an accident, my attitude changed. I felt bad for the driver and passengers, and hoped everyone was okay. Since I had a meeting at 10, I decided to work from home rather than wait longer for a replacement ride. I was grateful for the ability to work remotely. Yes, it was frustrating to get ready and then not be able to go to the office. Inconvenience is annoying. But I was safe. I have understanding supervisors. I could salvage the day. I still had the opportunity to be productive.
Focus on the good.
