CHECKING OUT AND THE ECLIPSE

We just arrive from the government office where my husband filed a set of documents to claim for an additional benefit. He filed it December 10, 2009 and he was instructed to make a follow up after the New Year. So after the New Year January 8, I started calling the office if there's a cash check issued for my husband. But I wasted so much time calling because nobody answered my call for four consecutive days.So, why not visit the office for sure, why nobody is answering my call?? We arrived in the office 2:30 in the afternoon. We waited forty five minutes before we were entertained. But the documents are still in a waiting status. But the nice thing that happened was, the telephone for a follow up was corrected. So, no wonder why I can't contact the office, I misread the second digit of the telephone number given to my husband due to super cute penmanship of the clerk. We were riding on a bus going home when I notice a lot of people viewing the longest eclipse of the millennium. Some are using dark sunglasses and others are using welding masks. It was a partial eclipse here in the Philippines but in some other Asian countries it was a total eclipse. The next eclipse of this kind will happen this coming year 2020, the newsman said. If I remember it right, the last time I witnessed an eclipse was 1986. I was only twenty four years old then at that time.
