One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

There is nothing quite so unappealing as Changi Airport at 6am in the morning. The smells of sanitized carpets, unwashed tourists in transit and metal polish simply fouls up the rest of the day.

So here I am, off again to goodness-knows-where and dunno-how-long. In the meanwhile, my wife is resting at home for the rest of the week, having been discharged from the hospital. The doctors say they dontreallyknowwhatswrongwithherbutsheshouldbeokperhapsitwassomethingsheate and slap me with a huge hospital bill.

For the first time in my life, I have a job that I truly enjoy. My bosses are wonderful people, who actually perpetuate the company values they preach. The benefits and pay package are great. The only hitch is the fact that I work 7 days a week, 16 hours a day and travel all the time.

So yes, I am off working while my wife is sick at home.

And it tears me apart.

how cum two steps back?

it’s good that you like ur company. at least it keeps you going. i’m sure al the hardwork will reap lotsa benefits.

And you get to go overseas so often.

dun woryy, your wife will be ok.

=)

imagine if you’re still single…

take care of yourself then mrs cowboy need not worry about you. all will be cool!

phew… good to know that mrs cowboy is ok now… never mind… just remember to call to check her when your teammates have gone off on a smoking break. i am sure she would understand that you are really working hard on both your future.

I hope Mrs. Cowboy gets better.

The damned general hospital here in singapore did the whole “don’treallyknowwhat’swrongwithyoubutyoushouldbefineinafewdays” nonsense with me too.

And I paid 65 bucks for that and a couple of sleeping pills.

Wowzer.

good to know that your wifey is getting better…

do take good care, both of you! =)

Money can be earned back…at least you know your wife is recovering now.

Happy to hear the good news! Take care, Ms Cowboy! :D
