Bah

Today isn't one of those "nice" days. First up, every tom, dick, harry and their brothers and sisters are on strike. Then, God decides to water his minions early in the morning with more seemingly lined up in intervals throughout the day. Driving in the rain is fine, as long as your internal climate control system (read AC but hey, the former sounds cooler) doesn't give up on you abruptly. Mine did and I had to stop and wipe the windscreen internally which I just hate doing. Opening the windows wasn't an option since I tried that and got splashed by a fellow citizen. Thank you!

BSNL and VSNL then decide to play their games.

Crazy. The problem resolved itself like 5 mins ago after 2 hours or so.

Current Mood: annoyed

Go break something. Make a punching bag and beat it up, and when all the stuffing has come out, beat it up all over again.

Take a cricket bat and bang your desk (shift the computer a little first, though.) Take a pencil and break it into evenly sized, one-centimeter pieces.

Your day will feel nicer. Ah, mine feels nicer already.

I can't find something, No Punching bag, Cricket bat or Pencil.

And yet my day feels nicer (after the Internet started working :p)

I wrote a letter to HR recently, stating how a punching bag would reduce stress levels in the company and also reduce conflicts.

bah, they thought it was a big joke.

Wore my eskimo-jacket and left for office at 10:50 AM, only to realize that those goddamn rick-drivers were on strike. Walked 1.5 km to reach office with my jeans half-drenched. Yet, I feel nice about walking in the rain. Tried to pray as I walked but couldn't.
