I knew it was too good to be true. I posted the other day that the delivery of Joy's laptop was going pretty smoothly, well I spoke too soon. International shipping is frustrating! My poor Joy has had to try and accommodate FedEx policies, with ID documents, affidavits, faxes, emails, phone calls, texts,etc...the list is endless in what she has endured this last day or so, and guess what? She still doesn't have her pc...can you believe it!!!I sure cannot. After she went all out of her way to facilitate FedEx demands, she still was told to call back on Wednesday. I cannot believe that! Ay naku, she was suppose to have that pc by now so she would be able to fly out with it on Sunday, when she goes to Dumaguete. I feel so helpless on this end. Anyhow the good news is that her laptop is in Manila, which means it is going to take a few more days than expected. Isn't that the way it always is? You can plan and plan, and things can still go wrong at the last minute. Well the bright moment of today is this is her last day at work, so at least she will not have any more hectic meetings or irritating clients to put up with. Anyhow as they say "there is always a silver lining in every cloud" and in this particular overcast day it is easy to see how Joy SHINES. She is so remarkable under pressure and I so admire her and I try my best to hide my frustrations but Joy is always observant and she knows my thoughts before I even display them. What a woman! She is definitely the silver lining in my cloud
