Insert some witty title

Another Sunday afternoon...

Dreary....

Cloudy weather reflects my feelings as the end of the weekend fast approaches...

I still got my fingers crossed.... I just might get discovered before Monday.

I can just see me calling work tomorrow... two hours after I am scheduled to be there and asking to speak to my boss... then proceeding to apologize for not calling earlier to say that I was not coming in...

Boss: Are you o.k?

Kei: Oh yeah. Couldn't be better.

Boss: So what's the problem?

Kei: Well....

Boss: Well.....?

Kei: Eh..... I cannot afford to work for you anymore.

Boss: Oh! How's that?

Kei: I got the contract

Boss: What contract?

Kei: The writing one...

Boss: Huh?

Kei: You do know I write, right?

Boss: Huh?

Kei: You don't? Hold on... I'll call you right back....
((Hangs up and goes to ascertain that he does have said contract and its not just a cruel dream..))

You are in the path of discovery, si now the boss has discovered through your phone call that you actually are a writer!

its amazing how we have to keep checking when "good things" happen to us. isnt it? K

I always find that I WAKE UP when doubling back to check and see if something good has really happened.

KK said...

U right CB... you have discovered in me something... but that is yet to translate into a million dollar contract.

KK said...

@ T: I'm always amazed when good things happen... Like say this past Saturday for instance;) and I kept checking and checking and....

@ Beth: I know... and the disappointment after..

Just visiting to omba chumvi........did you tell the boss to go where the sun don't shine? your template has reminded me of my blogger days! sigh

Maua said...

Do you have to do it on Monday morning? You need to give 2 days notice, not a today notice.

KK said...

No problem half n half... I got half a pinch of salt for you... and a shake of pepper if you should like.

@ Maua....When I do dear... It will be a two days later notice. For now... I keep my fingers crossed.

Eh- you are a brave one! Me- I first stay at work until I am sure I am not dreaming about the contract. I so long for the day I will make that call to my boss....
