The spring has hardly begun, temperatures are a perfectly pleasant 17 degrees C and some idiots in my flat building have already switched on their A/C.

Is it surprising that this country consumes the most amount of electricity in the entire world?

Oh and I also hope whoever is smoking outside drops DEAD right now. No one likes you. You are a menace to non-smokers.

I woke up today morning and there was a small message scrolling on the top bar of my android phone

>> just say no

I went into work and the first thing I know someone is guilt-tripping me about not helping out in some random project that I am not even committed to or care about or have time for.

I practiced my ignore-stare and unconsciously said no.

No. You cannot take me for granted. You cannot take my time for granted.

As I walked home, I could smell the spring flowers blooming, hear the geese squawking and woodpeckers pecking... and best of all, there was silence from usual guilt-ridden little whiny voice that derails me and let people just walk all over.

Thank you, S. Spring is here.
