Here is One More Day in my Life. As bland as most will not believe. You all know it's my idiosyncrasies to be late always. So I entered in office at 9:30 AM (I'm not late, if you go by Pacific Standard Time.). Today's excuse will be "I fell asleep in the shower". (That's funny, but I did this many times)
Ok. So I entered in office. Very first person saw me is Katie again, as always she looks mesmerizing ;) and she asked "Hey Nirnay! Why you are in formal dress today..."
What? Is this "Casual Friday"...? I said. And she cracked down on me. On casual Friday I usually wear nice jeans and a T-Shirt. I lied her that, "I was concerned about my career; consequently, I was more concerned with looking professional than looking cute or trendy on Friday". But hey, hey.... I worked only 3 days this week and today is 4th day. It must be Thursday.
I headed towards my cube, with random stuff going through my head. Its Thursday or Friday? If this is Friday, then what was yesterday? and if yesterday was Thursday, then where is Wednesday. Holly s**...Wait... Wednesday I fixed 5 bugs, so Wednesday I worked, but Thursday I fixed no bug... Ass h** how can I fix bug on Thursday, because its today... But Katie told me its Friday.
I ran towards my cube. Opened my Visual Source Safe and checked the stuff I checked-in last working day. My last check-in was Wednesday 5:30 PM. Waoooo, so today is Thursday. Now I moved towards Katie to punch her. I now reached, and flash my smile of acknowledgement to all the known strangers near her cubicle. Suddenly I hear discussion in next cube jump to the weekend plan. It's definitely Friday today…. Things like this drives me crazy!
I know deep down inside, that I never forgot things, but I also knew memory is a tenuous thing, gossamer thread of mind. Today left me with a sinking feeling. Not only did I not finish working, I was coding out of point also. I didn’t even have such bad vibes for Torts. Well, the turbulence has passed; know that colleagues will not remember this for long. But where is my Thursday?
Thought it would have been so good, if there been a time machine and I could have altered just this incident from my life. Sorry, I didn’t have the luxury.
(Are you thinking this story looks like a bollywood movie "SUNDAY" of big "#$%^%$#" Indian actress, Ayesha Takia. Yeah, you are right)
(Are you thinking why didn't I just saw my laptop clock? Well the motherboard battery got drain. Its a long process to take approval of any hardware change in my company)
(Are you thinking why the hell I didn't checked the date on internet? Well, Let me confess; I forgot, I am an Id10t.)
