A colleague of mine was expecting her first child due on April 12. She wanted to take leave only from this week onwards, ie. 1.5 weeks before her due date. She had a relatively comfortable pregnancy and we had planned for her transition and she also managed her workload well, and even up to last Friday, she was working late for a few nights to clear off her backlog. She was very relieved on Friday, and we commended her for meeting her KPI on target for the delivery. When I mentioned she will be so relieved off the load of expectations that she may give birth over the weekend. To that she mentioned, "...hope not on April Fool's day...".
She gave birth on April Fool's day. And still had the energy to SMS us all and responded to our messages! Congratulations!
My Rome trip has been cancelled due to unforseen circumstances. I am actually more relieved than annoyed with the cancellation and suddenly the whole of next week seems relatively free. As I said, it had to do with having the peace of mind to go.
It seems the mind does controls the outcome.
