A Long Drive Before Taking the Oath of Office

Tweet

We had an activity which started on Monday. In the afternoon, my colleagues asked me if they can come with me as they also plan of going home? The venue of the activity would take me around 45 minutes or so of driving. The next morning, one of my colleagues and I drove back to the venue from our place. It was a rainy day so I drove slowly. Upon reaching the place, my superior told me that I need to report to the regional office to take the oath in front of our regional director. Meaning, I need to drive back to my place and another hour going to the regional office. That was really a short notice but I need to obey. I must be at the regional office at 1 PM. I reached the office at 1:15 in the afternoon and I was worried that I was already late. But when I get to the hall, the program has not yet started. I was just in time. The program started after a while and I received a loyalty award for being in the service for 10 years. Afterwards, promoted and newly appointed employees took oath before the regional director. I am happy for this little achievement. I promise to myself to work harder and get the next higher position. I might enroll again in graduate program to increase my educational qualification.
