Trivial

Things you don't want in your day

• A rude driver honking and giving me the middle finger while he tried to pass me (too fast) because my car door was open while I was strapping Beertje in car. I was boiling from anger!!
• A total blue screen PC crash/reboot  while sharing your screen in a conf call at work
• The coffee machine broken in the office
• A congested nose with tired eyes
• Our reporting system crashing excel constantly
• Tasks taking way longer so that at the end of the week you are more than one day behind on planned work
• Black ice on the roads

Well all of that was part of my Friday. Every single bullet.  Not fun at all. An accumulation of frustrations.

But today I had to go for the 2nd time to a funeral in 2 weeks time: after Rose, I gathered with my entire family today to bury my cousin's wife.  She leaves her husband and 4 children and one grand children,  as well as many students in school behind.  She'll miss the birth of her 2nd grandchild by a few months.  

I also got a text message from another friend who just lost her father.

All the above is really just very trivial.  All that matters is that I am home now tonight with Jan and my little boys.
