I'm all fucked up

I woke up 7 am yesterday because I have a pre-screening interview with Ayala Land in Makati. I had to be there at 10 am. I got out of the house at around 8:30. I mean, anyone can reach Makati in just an hour from QC on a regular day. I decided to take the bus in Cubao going to Ayala.

BIG MISTAKE.

Traffic was UNbelievably heinous. I was itching to pull the driver’s hair because there was too much traffic already and yet he was stopping at every fucking bus stop, and he would stay there for at least 10 minutes, waiting for passengers. In the middle of my infuriation I looked down the road and saw the traffic light staring at me, its red light beaming. I'm doomed, and I better start practising how I'm gonna apologize for being such a VIP.

After an hour and a half we reached Ayala. It was already 10:20. I was trying not to panic and then suddenly while walking towards the Ayala Tower 1 building, who should call me if not the person from HR herself? She was probably gonna ask me if I would still care to show up. I was really tense that when I’m about to answer, I.pressed.the.wrong.key. I was like, WHAT. THE. FUCK. I've never felt so stupid in my life. I could almost see her reaction and I was so ready to pray the rosary.

Fortunately the girl from HR was understanding enough. I mean, if she wanted to cancel the appointment I would have totally understood. I was actually half-expecting her to refuse to meet me when the guard called her up and told her I’m outside her office. But still she was so nice and all smiles. Which made me feel more shamefaced.

I fucking hate EDSA.
