Coincidence?

I'm getting a headache just thinking about what's going to happen this month end.

First of all, some time back my brother has already announced that he's flying back to Indo for a vacation (together with his girl, Sarah) on Sept 16-28. So my parents already asked me to come back together with him. But unfortunately, due to the nature of my work, I can't leave my office between 10-20th every month. So I planned to go back on 21-28 Sept.
Then about 3 weeks ago, suddenly I heard news that there will be a "Global workshop" related to my work on Sept 24-28 in Ohio, USA. I was quite excited then because I thought that I will need to attend that. However, after a lot of discussions and politics in play, it was decided that only my boss (Lily) will go there. So I thought... well that's ok because I'm planning to go back to Indo anyway. But then............

I kinda knew that it's gonna be difficult to get approval from my boss because we are the only 2 people doing this job! When she's not available, I'm supposed to cover for her. And vice versa. Ideally. So.... since she will be in USA on that period of time, she does not approve my application. And I can't go back later (when she's back from USA) because my brother is going to Singapore Sept 28-Oct 1; and I need to be here to show him around.

GREAT! JUST GREAT!!!

So now I'm negotiating with her if I can go back maybe just for 3-4 days before. Haven't get the reply yet, though....

Well, that's one thing. Another thing that suddenly pops out is... a friend of mine mentioned that he has an empty room for rent. So I'm going to check it out later today. But the thing is.... if I take the room, the rent is going to start Oct 1. Under normal circumstances, this wouldn't be a problem because if I am going to move out from my current place, it will be at month's end too. BUT.... as mentioned earlier, my bro's coming here! Exactly on the same date!

AAAARRRRGHHHH!!!!!!

Too much things are happening at the same time..... a little bit too coincidental, don't you think?
