If I told you what happened to us today, you wouldn’t even have believed me. We were on our way to the Immigration office this afternoon. Many hurdles along the way and not only were we late in getting there, we didn’t get anything done. The counters were still opened but within minutes of us arriving and getting ready to queue up, all processes were halted. Why? Systems down! Can you just believe our luck?

We waited for a bit. We walked around, trying to find ways to amuse ourselves. But, we figured that systems were not going to go on for quite a while. In fact, for a long time. So, we decided to get out of there and well, what can we say – another trip is pretty much mandatory.

On the way home, I saw huge billboards advertising of some college degree courses.

One of which was Pharmacy. I turned to Gnat and asked him “Why do you even need a degree to dispense medicine?” I thought the question was valid since all a pharmacy ever does is dispense medicine prescribed by the doctors.

Gnat just nod as he concentrated in driving while I continued yapping. I think, to a certain point, I was even talking and answering the questions myself! I went on to say “But, I know that pharmacy graduates make lotsa money. Especially so if they work for international pharmaceutical companies like J&J. You know, the company with very strong ethics and always act according to their credo values?”. Gnat continued to nod. I guess nodding means he agrees with me even if he wasn’t listening to a word I was saying.

We got home just in time before the storm. I munched on the snacks I bought and took a short snooze, hoping that when I wake up, I can revisit my horrible day without feeling bumped out and map out our next course of action. Oh, didn’t I tell you – we met with a minor accident on our way to the Immigration!
