Running late!

I need to vent on something!!!!... or not...

My day started as a kind of bad day...you know that kind of day you'll think.
Oh god, I guess it's just not my day.
She started to drink and said :
Errrk mum it taste bad! I tasted, and yes it was bad. I tasted directly from the bottle... oh god! It was horrible!
I use to buy, like a lot of European, what we call UHT Milk (Ultra-high temperature), there is a link to Wikipedia :
UHT Milk on Wikipedia.
So, it's long conservation milk and I use to have a big stock as Gally drinks a lot of milk.
One bottle is bad... first time it happens to me, but it may happen. So... OK. I opened another bottle.
Same!!! I opened the 6 bottles I had. All the milk was bad.
No milk for Gally at the morning... bad start as she really need it. OK, as she comes with me at work because of once again school is on strike, we will stop at Starbucks.
We was late after all that waste of time on the milky way, and the Starbucks stop makes it worse.
As we was on the way for work, my boss called me.
5 minutes after that, Gally and I we arrived at work and my boss said nothing.The boss : Where are you? You're late!
Me : Yes, I told you yesterday about schools strike, so I come even if not easy for me, but I'm sorry. When you run with a young child, being late may happens.
The boss : You have to manage your time to don't be late (it's one of his favorite sentence).
Me : OK, If its like that, next time, I will stay at home with my daughter, period! And I ended the call.
Oh My, I was already upset about the milk, now my boss... what's next?
A bit later between my work tasks and taking care about Gally I took 5 minutes to call the store where I bought the milk. Beside being refund I wanted to told them about maybe some sanitary risk.
The women I was talking with. Told me, oh no, we don't have problems with milk, you're the only one who called about that, but if you bring back all the bottles we will refund you... I already empty the bottles in the sink, and as I don't have a car (I always use delivery services) even if I kept the bottles, I will not carry it till the store. So... OK, Thank you for the advice...
I really was thinking, that's not my day today.
After lunch time, meeting with the boss and some co-workers. My boss started to talk about the new guy who will arrive next week. The guy who will replace me actually. Talking about that my boss asked me :
Awwwwwww!!!! I was close to hug him!!!The boss : When you want to leave?
Me : I will give you my 3 months notice as soon I will have my NOA2 from the USCIS
The boss : Yes I know, but what I ask is : When you want to go?
(I tried to don't look too happy or too surprised)
Me : Oh If I can leave in August it will be perfect.
The boss : OK, I hope it will be enough for the new guy to learn about all your skills. but, OK.
It's not a bad day!!! It's a great day!!! It's my day!!!
Another big step that make us closer! And I was really thinking that my boss will not give me that kind of "gift".
We never know what can happen... even on a day that start really bad.

Its like that, every cloud has a silver lining, no such thing as a bad day, something always is nice. Life is like that, I think it because it does not want to break you, by always being bad. But my love will soon come to me, and it will be wonderful
