Eh! Faster la!

I met a middle-aged dude in a bicycle shop sometime back.
He says he never go slower than 30km/h.
That's fast.
In a foldie's term that is.
When I push my bike to its limit, I can hit 25km/h.
That takes a lot of effort on high gear and to maintain that rhythm on long-hauls, its gonna take a lot of training.
My folding bike can go fast. That's a fact.
But there are a few that can make a roadie eat his words.
I don't want to get there.
Maybe that was his ego talking.
If you hit 50km/h and smack a pothole, you'd probably have a couple of appointment with your dentist and plastic surgeon.
As a foldie, speed is not important. In proper order: Safety is paramount. Then, there are stuff like your fitness level, endurance and staying power on the pedal.
That's why I shy away from getting myself a road bike.
There's just too many of them out there and just any wannabe, never-were or has been would want to be in the peloton.
That said, I can see plenty of long-hauls ahead!

Oh-oh!

A couple of days ago, I witnessed a meltdown at the workplace.

There were some exchange of words and tempers flared.

I took a deeper look at it and concluded that there should be a compromise somewhere.

Now, the person who threw a fit was also a primadonna.

She was known as a drama queen and what happened really befitted her image.

Dealing with people is no easy thing and that's what we as desk persons would have to deal with everyday.

I had a good mentor who was more than willing to teach and I truly respect the said person for staying true to his calling.

He cares and it showed in his work.

And when you someone throwing a fit at a gentle person, you see someone turning from zero to ugly in a split second.

Shouting was uncalled for and to raise your voice shows that you are not in control.

And I was given a heads-up that the same drama queen will fester tomorrow at my workplace.

There's nothing I can do about it but brace for impact.

I just don't want to blow my top because things can get very, very ugly in a short time.

So far, I've been mellow. If all goes bad, the monster in my would surface if push comes to shove.

Let's just see what would happen...
