I made three trips today just to get a document. The first time, they said I was missing a photocopy. I said, “Isn’t there a copy shop by the entrance?” They told me the machine had broken down that morning. The second time, the person wasn’t there. The clerk at the next window said they’d gone to a meeting and told me to come back in the afternoon. The third time, the system crashed. The young guy was pretty polite and said, “How about coming back tomorrow? There’s nothing I can do either.”

On the way back, I kept thinking about how I hadn’t said a single harsh word in that half hour, and had even chatted with the young guy about the weather. I used to have a much shorter fuse. I don’t know whether these past couple of years have worn me down or if I just can’t be bothered to make a fuss anymore.

I got hungry along the way and ate a bowl of noodles at a roadside place, with an egg added. The only thing that went right today was that the egg was soft-boiled. Now I’m sitting here writing this, with no grand point to make. I just feel like the day was pretty pointless, and I’m planning to go to bed early tonight.
