It's So Hard To Meet Her

It's my sister's birthday today. She's my second oldest sister. After work today, I stop by in the station where she was currently assigned because I wanted to have dinner with her though I know the chance is very slim. When I get there the officer I encounter first is a newbie so the usual I pulled a prank by telling I'm looking for someone... stating my sister complete name because I want to file a complaint but another officer show up and call my name. I failed. I head home as well. My sister wasn't there because she was dispatched with her co-officers to provide security at certain events. The call of duty made it hard to meet her. It's so unlike before because I could easily see her often when she was not assigned in field and her office is the camp just across our home. Photo was during lunch time when what we ate wasn't enough that we order Mcflurry and fries.

I hope your sister has a wonderful birthday today. Please tell her happy birthday from a friend of yours. Oh, I'm sorry things didn't work out for you today... But that was a funny trick, even if you didn't succeed in pulling it on her.

Celebrating her birthday on duty and no sleep. She's used to it. I have told her co-officers that's her birthday she'll be surprised they knew it. because on her socmed she set it on Aug.30 Yep! I didn't succeed but still I made the newbie officer brows furrowed. While talking to the other officer I'm close to, she wonder how I dare to call my sister "maot" means ugly. It's like a endearment of us siblings but we meant a opposite meaning to it.

@Jehanne LOL! On most places online, I give may as my birthday month when it's really october. I hope your sister finds out you tried to pull a prank on her. LMAO! I used to tell my friend that it's a good thing he's pretty because he isn't very smart. I also called him old man when hes almost twenty years younger than me. LMAO!

@DaddyEvil you know it's good not to reveal the correct birthday online because that's when you find who among your friends and family who knew it without being notified online. She's informed for sure Well, we can really easily do that to people whom we are comfortable and have fun with.

I tried to call her but I guess she muted her phone. I leave a birthday message to her. No late birthday dinner given her job, she doesn't have a fixed time to go home and sometimes she's able to get home at dawn when her duty starts at 3pm or 5pm.

That's a bit disappointing, especially on her birthday. I had a laugh at your prank attempt, even though it didn't work out! Your sister must have a demanding job, and it's nice that you still went all the way hoping to see her. I hope you both find some time to celebrate when she's off duty. Family moments are worth waiting for.

@Jehanne That's true. Even if you can't meet in person as often as you'd like, being able to talk on the phone is still something to be grateful for. Hopefully, when her schedule is a little less hectic, you'll finally get the chance to spend some quality time together and celebrate properly. Family time is always special, even if it's delayed.

We haven't got the time really since she was transferred. So hard to meet up but at least we could talk over the phone.

It's a good thing somehow because I'm also nervous doing that because I might be disturbing that officers duty.
