For the last week of October, my scheduled changed with Monday and Tuesday as my rest days. Little did I know that a colleague of mine will be leaving for another road to travel and yes, also literally, because it is another journey.
I already had an idea that it will come soon but no specific date was mentioned. So, on my second day of off was his last day in the office. Everyone else was able to celebrate with him because that day was also our pay day.
Then, the first week of November came and again, my schedule changed. In this line of business, flexibility in time is needed because that is how it works. With this, my rest days moved as well to Tuesday and Wednesday.
While watching early in the morning in Philippine standard time (as I am following American time), I received a message and it is from him. He was asking if I have a duty and I told him that it was my off.
Well, that was two times in a row that I am at home when he was in the office. I may not have seen him before his adventure but I reached to him through text. Well, we will just see each other someday. We may have just met for a short period of time but I am blessed to have a great family in our wave.
