To my dearest slowpoke,
There are many slowpokes around me in my life, and in the last few months I have been living with one. It doesn't bother me much most of the time but there are times you just want to strangle the slowpoke and leave him behind.Hm, where should I start? ok, my housemate is busy with her exam today and didn't have time to take her boyfriend to work, so we organized a car pool. Since the shop is open this week only I want to get to school as early as possible to get work done. We agreed to leave by 930am last night.
This morning while I was packing my car while eating breakfast, slowpoke arise from the stairs at 925am. He saw me eating breakfast so he asked if he could have breakfast before we leave. We end up leaving the house 2 minutes before 10am.
Yes, Mr. slowpoke has his own car, but he spent last friday afternoon to fix the brake only to know that he broke another part, so he needs to carpool before this thursday while the car is in the garage.
He also complains the amount of errands to fix around the house. He broke the kitchen faucet on the weekend. (He broke so many things recently. :p ) Since he doesn't have his car around I had to take him to Home Depot to get the special screw to put it back together. Too bad Home Depot doesn't carry the screw so we have to stuck with the broken faucet for a while. No, I don't know when it will be fixed, since the kitchen is not the first priority on his list.
Oh, forgot to mention, when I was ready to pick him from the office this evening, I called him 15 mins before hand to let him get ready. Took him at least 5 more mins after I arrive for him to get out of the door.
Thank god we don't have to carpool with him everyday or else my model will never get done.

you should poke the slow poke
it's real simple
if you are going to the school at 930 and he isn't ready by 930, then the train still leaves.
it's like my boss says, "the bus (aka the truck) is leaving at 8 tomorrow morning. miss it and find ur way to the track"
no one aside from the driver of the vehicle is allowed to be late :-P
