Getting the done, un-done

My big younger brother just left for his studies, not less than a week ago, and already, tons of conversation has been flying back and forth between the both of us. Mind you, this is not his first time out and another thing is that we are never that conversational type, our family. So, you guessed it, something cropped up the minute he landed in his new territory.

My first reaction when he sent me that word was, 'huh, what does it mean?'. When I got the meaning, I felt odd. Oh well, that is another story altogether. Anyhow, he needed to get something, a proof of service, from back home, but so unfortunate of him, he had just, right before he left, cancelled that very thing that proves he has that service. So right now, he is caught. He can't move forward without it, yet to get it un-cancelled here, his signature is needed. And of course, as always, you can never get a done thing un-done immediately. Give and take about two weeks is needed, one week, if you are lucky, that was what I was told when I helped him check it up.

I have started the ball rolling on the best path as possible right now to help him get what he needs. The rest, as they say, we will have to wait and see. Monday is the magic day, for Monday determines how far the ball can roll and how smooth the path the ball may roll upon. I foresee, it will gather lots of moss but it can roll far and reach it's destination.

Well, lesson learned from this episode. Maybe it's looks very useless and wasteful, but let it be, at least for the moment. Perhaps, it will show its worth in due time. Hopefully. Else, only then, it can be discarded. Not before. Flexibility and walking around the bend are not the trend of sales/services here.
