I knew I should've stayed in bed this morning.  Waking up with a slight stiff neck should've been some sort of indication how the day was going to go.  But instead of heeding my inner voice, I busied myself to having my usual for breakfast and deciding on what to wear for my meeting.  Oh yeah, this should've been another sign from the heavens...having nothing decent to wear. 

     Anyway, I leave an hour early for my meeting and head off to the bus stop.  I managed to catch a good seat on the bus but like the way my luck has been going, I ended up being squeezed in by this 'heavy' lady who had the bad manners to pick on her feet. ewhhh.  I swear if I knew where that lady was working I would've reported her to her boss for lewd behavior in public. 

    It was drizzling by then.  I got off the bus just in time for the rain to pour down really hard on me.  I was drenched.  Dammit.  I should've worn my boots instead of stilettos.  Double damn.

     I swear I was ready to go home right then and there when lo, I bumped into a friend I hadn't seen for some time.  What's even funnier is that this was the same friend who I texted asking for directions.  How's that for coincidence?

     After walking two blocks in the pouring rain, given that there was no cab around (Figures.  There never is any when you need one), I finally reached the office.  I was 15 minutes late.  While I was at the reception area, I was surprised when this woman approaches me and says: "Hey, are you so-and-so?"  and I was like really cautious with my "Yes, why?" 

     "Oh your cousin is this-and that's right?"  Again my stupendously intelligent nod.  Still had no idea what she was talking about!

     "We went to college together."  Ah, so there it was.  A schoolmate. She starts talking. 

     "You're Sillimanian too right?"  Again my nod. 

     "And you're blah-blah's daughter right?"  By this time, my nod was ready to be patented.  I was really eloquent.

     "How'd you know my father?" I finally managed to get a word in. 

     "Oh, I'm blah's daughter."  Now I get it.  She's my dad's former attorney's daughter.  Still doesn't explain how she knew me.  But we ended up chatting for a while before promising to keep in touch and then we go our separate ways.

     So to recap my day, I've got a stiff neck, aching back and feet and a new friend.
