Unrealized Excitement

I am so excited today because it is Friday and we will be working for half-day only.
Our company announced that we will attend the motorcade in the afternoon to show our support to the Liberal Party. Due to uncontrollable events, I wasn’t able to attend the motorcade and work in the office for whole day. Some of my co-employees delayed in the submission of the payroll documents for approval that we have to wait for them. We cannot postpone the approval of this just because we want to attend and enjoy the motorcade. These are wages of employees who work hard in the plantation. These are employees who work under direct sunlight and shed more sweat than us. Even though we are very excited to attend the motorcade, our conscience speaks louder telling us not to delay the compensation of these people. Sometimes we have to let go of our self interest to give way for the interest of the many. So, despite the unrealized excitement and tiredness I am still happy that I did the right thing today.
