Crisistunity!

My architect, Pablo Antonio, just informed me that some sort of snafu happened at the school yesterday. We ordered around eighty-one new switches from Ortigas Home Depot, which were delivered the other and received by the guards on duty at St. John. Unfortunately, when one of the guards, Ferdinand, re-counted the switches because the workers were getting ready to install them already, he found out that we lack ten switches. When Pablo started investigating, he found out that the guards, Ferdinand and Espinosa admittedly did not properly check out the delivery. Thus, they signed for a delivery that may or may not have been complete. Sigh.

It’s amazing how these little difficulties, if they happen often enough, or are unveiled at critical moments, can just suck all the energy out of a person. I remember telling Manny Sator that doing the grocery nowadays is often an occasion to dread. I never thought that I would be unmanned by a simple grocery list, but it happens sometimes, if my bank account is empty enough. Switches! Damn!

I know that “this too shall pass”, but I feel like the punchline of a Simpsons episode: the one where Lisa notes sagely that the Chinese word for “crisis” is the same word they use for “opportunity”, and Homer blurts out “Yes, crisistunity!” Oh well. At least it’s something to blog.
