How now, brown cow?
I’ve got ten days of annual leave to clear before I commence work with the Americans next month. Not many in the office have heard about my resignation although those who are aware are making a great big deal about it.
It’s quite sad that for the first time, I’m actually quite at a loss of how to utilize my annual leave and Old boy, always the thoughtful one, was planning a trip out over the weekend for the both of us.
Well, that was before we realize that he was due to travel to China next week for business.
Bummer, I hear some of you say.
We are still going away except we’re cutting the trip short to enable him more time to pack for his business trip.
I do acknowledge that I am a little disappointed but I don’t want to rush him to stick to the original travel schedule and commit the same mistake that I did with someone else a few years back.
It’s not about being understanding because if I was understanding, I would have scrapped the trip altogether.
As much as I would have loved to follow him to China, he seemed a little reluctant because it is obvious that he cannot commit time for me, not that I mind as long as I get to snooze beside him. Moreover, I could pop by to Hong Kong if I wanted to or to Shanghai to see some of my clients.
Point is, I’m a sucker for freebies and if accommodation is paid for, I’ll jump at the slightest chance.
Heh.
Jokes aside, I am every bit capable of feeling lonely and once he leaves for China, I won’t get to see him, much less hear from him for the next two weeks. Not sure if I can manage that long honestly.
Even with Dave coming by from Australia to visit me, I’m still not so sure.
