There are days when you wake up with a smile because… well, not only is it a lovely and beautiful morning to wake up to, but you also slept early the night before so you have had sufficient sleep and not be all angry and groggy when the phone alarm goes off like its set to do so every working day. You wash up, shower, and get dressed quickly (though not hastily) because you know what you want to wear and you know the locations of the things that you want to wear because… well you just know where everything is!
After a leisurely and most appetising breakfast at home, you get into your car to drive to work. Along the way, you notice that the road works people had taken the trouble to cover those pesky and annoying potholes that have been plaguing your neighbourhood for weeks. You make a mental note to write a thank-you letter to the road works department because everyone needs to be appreciated, especially after a job done well. Included in the mental note is a mention of how happy you are that they took notice and attended to your complaints regarding the potholes so quickly and efficiently!
At work, you handle everything thrown at you with ease and confidence. Your eloquence, grace and charms save the day, especially when meeting new people to introduce them to your product. The new people are totally wowed and utterly captivated by your genuineness and almost child-like enthusiasm that they happily and willingly agree to everything you say, including your request for them to be your temporary guinea pigs.
A last minute change of something happens as they often do. No need to worry for your constant state of readiness and preparation means that you have everything under tight control. Your melodious voice flows down the telephone line with enough calm and assurance to sell ice to the Eskimos. You rock.
A misunderstanding, or perhaps an understanding with differing opinions occur. Your diplomatic skills, honed by years of experience manages to avert a potential fall-out, leaving both parties satisfied and perhaps even slightly sheepish for not seeing the bigger picture as you do. Mandela himself could not have done a better job.
Going home, all the traffic lights are in working order and every driver on the road adheres to rules and regulations. No one tries to cut into your lane, and everyone uses indicators as they were meant to be used. You reach home, clean up, have dinner and quality time with your loved ones, and prepare to go to bed to wake up to yet another perfect morning the next day.
There are days when they are just splendid. You walk around with something almost like a swagger, though not as arrogant nor conceited, but with the firm and confident knowledge that everything is going to be fine, just fine. The sun, moon and stars are aligned in your favour and these are the days when you know that you can do no wrong.
Monday was not one of them.

‘There are days when you wake up with a smile because’
You know nobody else had sex the night before either!
‘you have had sufficient sleep and not be all angry and groggy when the phone alarm goes off’
Which explains FA’s unique blogging style’s secret!
‘well you just know where everything is!’
I’d be wondering about myself if I didn’t know where things were in my room! ‘Darn it, did I stick my coat on the coat hanger, or in the air conditioner? And that business shirt I was going to wear today, did I hang it in the wardrobe, or did I stick it under the bed with my pillow?’
‘the road works people had taken the trouble to cover those pesky and annoying potholes’
You seen my cat? My cat’s have gone missing! Come to think of it, most of the neighbourhood are missing their cats? Wonder where they’ve gone?
‘especially when meeting new people to introduce them to your product.’
Sounds like an Italian Gigalo. ‘Hey, baby! Check out me product! Ehhh? Wadda ya think?’
‘including your request for them to be your temporary guinea pigs.’
Temporary, as in soon to be ex-guinea pigs. Not easy testing a new 1000 ampere computer with no earth wires.
‘Your melodious voice flows down the telephone line with enough calm and assurance to sell ice to the Eskimos.’
With the ways the ice caps are melting, I’m in for 20%!!!!
‘Mandela himself could not have done a better job.’
Of course, because he has never seen the product. Don’t worry, I’ve sent someone over to South Africa to correct the problem.
‘Eh, Mandela! Check out me Product!’
Ah, that will be Tony now!
‘every driver on the road adheres to rules and regulations’
Oh, you not in Malaysia at the moment???
‘You walk around with something almost like a swagger’
Isn’t it illegal to smoke swaggers now?
‘Monday was not one of them.’
By, ‘one of them’ you mean Gay … right????
[Seriously, lovely post!]
the blues hitting hard eh?
