I was really irked when he didn't keep the appointment. There was a mañana principle at work. It exists under many guises and across different cultures. You'd think with all those years in the Gulf and additional travel, I'd have developed stronger skin and more understanding nature. I haven't.
I had to keep busy but stay close, should he have actually come.
While waiting, I did get to several housekeeping tasks on the computer. I always let my BCIT email go unorganized during a term. Now that my class is over, it literally took over an hour to sort through the email, separating the important from the junk. I freed up a whole lot of hard disk space because of erasing dozens of messages with pesky file attachments.
Also, I started to clean my Internet Explorer favourites. Perhaps it's because I have been using the Internet so long, but those links were treated like gold. They've come from machine to machine during each upgrade. In many cases, I still save one when I come across new or interesting but I'll never really need to return to most of these. Moreover, it's often much easier to search anew. Although I am fairly organized, I wonder why I sometimes search through the tangled listings when Google or MSN beckon with an easier solution.
