Birthday & Snow!!!!

Yesterday 1st February was my birthday. Not that I had anything special planned but it was not a good one as I was in and out of hospital. Also, I didn’t get a card or a present from anyone in my house. I spent my birthday in bed! During the course of the day, my hubby said it was snowing but I didn’t take him serious but I later looked out the window and the whole place was covered in white snow blanket. That was Sunday night. On Monday morning, I was woken up by a phone call from my uncle who mentioned snow then I heard the boys and then dad talking and thinking loud I asked why they hadn’t been to school yet but my hubby said he had called the school and it’s closed for the day. I still didn’t look out the window but I called my colleague Abs who said she had called the office that she won’t be coming in. Then my I heard my sister’s voice downstairs she said she just came in form the station and she met a guy who said he had been waiting for a train for over an hour. My sister came back home and called her office likewise my hubby. Since I start work later in the day I didn’t think it would affect me. Logging on to face book, I had a chat with another colleague who said he couldn’t get a bus or train then I decided to look out the window. I even went down stairs to open the main door. It was snow every where. I put a call thorough to my office that I won’t be coming in. Although, I drive to work but not in this weather. About 7000 London buses were grounded today. Even the Mayor of London Boris Johnson said on BBC News that “it’s the right kind of snow but in the wrong kind of quantities”. Man proposes God disposes. On Wednesday, I put in a request to have Monday off since my birthday is on Sunday. My manager told me that it had been declined by the performance team. Later in the day, I bumped in to a performance team member who asked if my manager had sorted out the leave but I told her what she said. The lady now explained to me that it had nothing to do with them that the onus was on my manager. I felt bad and I wondered why someone who is training to be a pastor tells such a lie? But looking back at the turn of events today, got me asking is she God? I’ve got the day off anyway and there is nothing she can do about it. Also today was meant to be my last day on her team as I’m moving on to train for 8 weeks and start working in another team which is why I joined the organization in the first place.
