Rainy moody

This was something we first learnt when we were gearing up for the biggest book launch in the country ever last year (naturally, it was for this book, what else?). We learnt that as the guys moved stock around on huge pallets in the storage area right above the office, the noise they generated sounded like thunder to us. It’s basically the sound of the wheels of the jack moving on the floor above, while dragging loads of heavy books. But today the effect is more real, because the skies are grey outside, signaling impending rain.

This time of the year, it rains all the time. Bleh.

There goes a flash of lightning, and real thunder rolls.

Just suits my moodiness in the office.

I’m largely moody, I suspect, because it’s just how my hormones are since it’s that time of the month for me. It’s just general moodiness. The thought of working all seven days this week because we’re doing the stocktake this weekend. Realising my dad has defaulted on bill payments to my ISP without letting me know (the home internet account is in my name, but my dad is the one who gets the bill. Which means I know nothing about the bill, until there’s something wrong, which means I’m the one they will hound). Apparently we’re in arrears for the past few months already… almost half a year. I’ve decided to take on the payments, but in sparing to his pride, I only informed Mom to let him know that. I’m paying bit by bit, since I don’t have a few hundred dollars to spare (hint: it’s much more than what I spent on my swanky new phone. I saved for months for that swanky new phone, while waiting for the retail price to come down).

Which means that’s one debt for me take on. If nothing else ever, this experience has taught me to be very wary of debts. And this also means that as much as I need a car, I really can’t afford it now. I’ll work on getting a driving licence first - and that alone, costs quite a bit.

All – slowly but surely.

And there goes the rain now, beating against our windows.
