I have a terrible stomach ache that I was late for work. I told myself that I rather be late for work than suffer my way to work. In the end I was 20 mins late. I didn’t blame myself or anyone but I remind myself that until the next month starts, I must not be late again.

I was late again. This time even worse than Friday – 24 mins. Who can I blame this time? Myself, for not taking the right bus and alighting at the right bus stop. Also blaming the bus driver for not being on time. Let me explain further. I have a few routes to choose to go to work. There is one common bus stop which I would alight if I board certain bus. However, the risk is I might have to squeeze in as not many people alight there. Least do I knew that on that day (Monday), 2 buses came with crowded passengers and there is no way I can board. By the time I decide to change to another route, it was too late.

I blame the driver as they sometimes do not open the entrance door. Moreover, sometimes they left the interchange earlier that many passengers would miss the bus.

After learning my lesson, I left home 5 mins earlier than usual. Besides there is a traffic jam near my place and it is raining. Everything went smoothly – from home to the transfer bus stop. I was there earlier than usual (I mean the bus stop where I transfer to another bus) However I waited half an hour for the bus. Many passengers who were boarding the same bus as me looks frustrated. I mean the bus which we always took to work always take us on time. I was late for 18 mins.

By just being late for 3 days, I have deducted $6.50 from my salary. The contract didn’t state it but my colleagues told me about it. I feel so disappointed that I lost $6.50 in just 3 days, how wasted.

I told my best friend about it and she suggested me to leave ½ hr earlier than today. I took her no way as I do not want to lose my sleep. I need at least 8 hrs to stay awake for the whole day. However, I might leave home 10 mins earlier. The most important thing is decision. I need to make the right decision, regardless whether it is cheapest fare or not.

I got to go home now. I wrote this in between my work. Bye.
