be careful of what you wish for

came home just after midnight last night after discussing some problems with a few classmates. i've always been a one woman show but some guys asked me to join them in their study group. group study is good, but everyone must know a bit of something, only then the group study can work.
we were still not sure of the full solutions so i was contemplating taking mc for today. didn't want to lie so was wishing in my heart along the way home that i do get something that justifies taking the mc.
well, yours truly is truly not well. woke up with this great urge to go and do the 'big business'. so the doctor gave me mc for the day. have done the business 3 times already. stomach is churning like the washing machine. but the most important thing here is I'M NOT WORKING!!
at least bought a little bit of time to attempt the problems that i've got to submit online. we are given 3 chances, but by now, it's do and live. can't do and die :)
now i'm waiting for the guys to attempt first then learn from their mistakes and iron out the kinks. then i can attempt mine.
on a lighter note, i've just realised yesterday, 28th Aug, was my anniversary in this job. 5 years already. that's half a decade. how fast time flies. what i've planned back then is being executed. now it's the race to the finish line. after that, let's see.
