A different perspective

Recently, I have been working as if my bum is on fire. Ok, that's really a crude way of putting things but I have a parent calling me on my mobile ranting, yelling & screaming. The line she used to call me is a private line. Best part, so is my home line, so is my daddy's mobile.

Today, at a case discussion with my colleague, I received a call from a private line. I took a deep breath, braced myself and told him "XXXX calling." He went "Ok, get ready ah... I am here with you."

It gives me GREAT pleasure hearing my dad's voice on the other side of the speaker.

Honestly, a couple of months back, when my dad called me every other hour, I really do find it so irritating. Today, I learn to appreciate that these calls from my dad is a thousand fold better than a ranting parent.
