Facing the Inevitable

The unexpected rain that I thought would be short and temporary ended up lasting a few days. On and off, the rain fell from the sky and made the weather completely unpredictable. Although I knew that I shouldn’t let something like the weather affect my mood, it was still hard for me to control myself and I ended up feeling quite gloomy at work. Travelling around with an umbrella in my bag at all times became a burdensome necessity.

Despite the gloomy weather, everything at work was working out so superbly that it was fabulously surprising. Sometimes people tell me that it’s more exciting to leave the result unknown right until the end or the last moment. I would agree with that on some cases; however, when it came to the result of the competition, I wanted to be assured way earlier on that we would turn out to be the winner. I didn’t mind at all if there was absolutely no excitement in the result announcement or the ceremony that would be held to dish out the awards.
