upheavals

My female owner had a day of upheavals which left her feeling depleted.

It had its humble beginning yesterday, when she stayed home all day in anticipation of a DHL package which was scheduled to arrive, but never did. Peeved at the lack of accountability, she called up DHL today and asked for an explanation. She became pissed off when the lady showed no understanding of the inconvenience caused by the inefficiency of the company to deliver what it promised. At the end of it all, my female owner had to stay home on another day to wait for the parcel with no guarantee that it would arrive. For record sake, the non-appearance of her parcel was because the delivery man ran out of time at 1730hr (?!?!?!).

Emotionally charged, she then found out that the required direct contact hours for all her externship placements had increased from 100hr to 125hr. That translates into about 3 extra weeks per placement. To add fire to the fuel, the staff in question had disseminated this information to my female owner through a highly unprofessional and dodgy manner (think, trying to cover her mistake and thus, no explanation given).

Her afternoon subject, Domestic Violence was a goner as well. The lecturer brought forward the deadline of one portion of an assignment to next week. This means that my female owner has less time to conceptualise her assignment. The initial arrangement was to submit this portion later in the semester.

Lecture and tutorial were a waste of time. Time was spent answering random questions posed by the class, which was mainly made up of counselling students. A large proportion of the tutorial was spent in idle chat. And at 1700hr (lesson was supposed to be over by 1650hr), one of them started to share a counselling problem she was facing. At 1700hr! Couldn’t she bring up the matter earlier since she was talking so much already??

And my female owner rushed off for her supervision at 1730hr. Due to the rush, she thought she sent off an sms to her church friend to say that she would not be able to attend prayer meeting tonight. Unfortunately, she had pressed the button to save the message instead. Hence, her friend actually walked all the way to school to wait for her and my female owner was uncontactable. She felt so bad for sabotaging her friend.

Upset, hungry, upset, upset, annoyed, fearful, my female owner decide to binge on a huge chocolate chip cookie she spotted earlier at a vending machine. Sounds like a good plan, except that the cookie was yucky. Waste of calories.

She is really peeved. Sometimes, life would be better without human beings...
