There was nowhere to run or hide!

Day Seventeen,


There was nowhere to run or hide!


Despite of all those uncanny encounters that Buzzwordy had during his stay in Kuala Lumpur, he managed to fully enjoy his breakfast at the Kuala Lumpur International terminal.  For a mere $2.90 (1 Malaysian Ringgit = 0.31 U.S. $), he was able to have his milk-drenched cereal, a full-size ham & egg sandwich, 2 large pieces of French toast, a decent mug-size coffee, and a glass of apple juice.  Buzzwordy felt totally fulfilled after such a hearty meal.


He told himself that his luck was about to change for the better and the flight back to San Francisco should be enjoyable as well.  For the next 13 hours, Buzzwordy's flight on board of a Singapore Airlines plane was pretty darn close to being euphoric. 


"I could tell that it is all going to be a smooth ride from now on!" smiled Buzzwordy as he gently patted himself on his shoulder.


After landing in SFO (San Francisco International Airport) and de-planing, he took his time to get to the public garage.  Having survived several horrific incidents in Kuala Lumpur, all he wanted was to slow his day down without any more burnouts.  He whistled gently while strolling over to his car.  A buzzing sound on his mobile phone ended the short-lived euphoria.


"Buzzwordy, are you back in the States?  I heard that you have royally messed up your trip to Malaysia.  How are you going to write your trip report?" shrieked Xavia as Buzzwordy answered the call.


The timing of this call was completely unanticipated and it really threw Buzzwordy off.  He was mad and felt that justice had not be served in his favor at all. 


"Xavia., I meant to have a de-briefing meeting with you when I get back to the office tomorrow.  I will let you know the details of my trip.  Please let me put it bluntly to you, the trip was an eye-opener but did not produce the needed results that I was looking for.  Can we talk tomorrow?" explained Buzzwordy.


"No! The management team is really upset and you have no choice but to come into the office now.  I'll see you within an hour!" shouted Xavia before he ended the call.


Buzzwordy felt like the whole world had collapsed right in front of him and there was nowhere to run or hide.  He quickly jumped into his car and as usual, he turned on the AM radio channel.


"My beloved fans and listeners, didn't I tell you before, THERE WAS NOWHERE TO RUN OR HIDE!  Just accept your fate and you will live a happier life." exclaimed the deejay.


Was this karma or just pure coincidence?  Buzzwordy found himself in a trance while driving back to the office.


He knew that there will be a whole lot of explaining to do once he gets to the office.


May Day Eighteen be a productive day for Buzzwordy.
