It was just another week day for me today. Thanks to the 3 hour session that some office folks arranged for moving in to a new office building.
The new office is spectacular.The high point of the floor i am assigned to are the huge windows where sun shine can stream in.It is well lit and beautifully overlooks the I-10.
The key take away from the meeting for me other than the impressive facilities is that there is a good possibility of having no casual fridays. Another boring set of white/blue formals.
My new desk would be right in the center of around twenty folks and surrounded by the 'higher ups'.I am pondering on the levels of my patience.
This is intrusion of privacy at every level :(
I console myself saying that the 'bucket full of sunshine' is worth the compromise.
After the meeting,i had to rush back to complete some long pending work for which I had been given rather stern deadlines. I must admit that this was created by myself because i had chosen to cut the branch on which i was comfortably sitting. Details cannot be shared on account of the confidentiality clauses i had signed in a hundred different places without once reading it.
The first instinct after coming home is to run to S's place. I did not need further encouragement as i heard her talk to A on the phone saying that she is preparing 'dosa' at her place. I was at her doorstep the next instant banging the door down. Yes,she did open the door with a smile.
As i comfortably settled at her place feeling at home all the while, i got a call from S***a asking my wherabouts. She had been trying to infuriate me with constant tales from pages out of a book that i am not particularly not interested to read.
To add to it all, she disconnects the phone in between and does'nt bother to pick my call. Phew!!!
There is a thud at the door and two people just strut in. It seems like S***a and M decided impromptu to drop in to return my purse with my debit and credt cards that i had left in the car last time we went out.[Wonder what i would have done without internet!].
I know i am a 'Doubting Thomas' but i would give it to them for springing a welcome surprise on a chilly night.
I would not be doing enough justice if i dont mention a particular 'high priced' jacket. All that i can say to the wearer is that it looks cute on you*.
The rest of the evening just flew by with S as the master chef and A and me as assistants preparing dinner.
It was fun and laughter before we decided to call it a night.
P.S:I realised that i have enough material to write an epic on mega level blunders.
* Conditions apply ;)
Last but not the least thanks to both of you for driving down!
