10-Minute Warning CLXXXVI

So, what can I share in under ten minutes?

I will start with a rant: I rarely lose my belongings. That’s why I’m so frustrated that I misplaced my trusted small bottle of ethyl alcohol. Or worse, I lost it. Is my frustration irrational? Maybe. But because I rarely lose my belongings, I’m absolutely frustrated with myself.

But then again, I can’t stay frustrated for long while looking for it. That’s a lost cause. I will just buy another small ethyl alcohol. Thank goodness, it’s only worth PHP 30. And this is a lesson for me as well: even if I rarely lose my things (EDC or not), I need to be more careful with them. I can do better.

As for work, there are no urgent tasks today because it’s a holiday. (Every last Monday of August is National Heroes Day in the Philippines.) There were also tasks that I could’ve done by the end of the month, but I finished them today. Now my workload is pretty non-existent.

And in closing, I salute the heroes who fought for the country’s freedom, the heroes who continue the good fight, the heroes who fight for a better life, and the heroes who make a difference in this world. Happiest National Heroes Day, Republic of the Philippines!

That’s it for now. See you in the next post.

10-Minute Warning CLV

This post is a part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024).

So, what I can share here in under 10 minutes?

Well, yesterday I shared that I’m sad and frustrated and I don’t want to explain that further. Today, after focusing on billings and proposals, I feel better somehow. Keyword: somehow. And I still don’t want to talk about the causes of my recent sadness and frustration. Maybe I will change my mind tomorrow. Or maybe not. Whatever.

2 days before my birthday, man, and I hope to turn things around.

That’s all I can share for today.
