What a day :(

Back to work after a three day leave. And what a mess this place is! Couldn't open my office door - lock jammed probably due to the rains - had to wait for assistance. Finally managed. Walked in and found everything topsy turvy. BP went up steadily. I hate having my desk messed up. I hate having papers strewn all over the place when I walk in. I am very organised and neat, especially as far as my work-place is concerned, and this is BUGGING me right now. I take a deep breath, log on and purge my irritation online. B R E A T H E B R E A T H E .............

This too shall pass.

I want to run back home right now and stay there.

It's not funny, being indispensable. People call you for the most ridiculous reasons - even when they know you are in a hospital with your mother. Why aren't people more competent and confident of handing little issues which even a 12 year old could figure out? Aaargh. (As you can tell, I'm still bugged!)

Insensitivity, thy name is my colleagues.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can rant all morning. But shall save you from rolling your eyes in mock irritation. Shall go commit a homicide for time-pass. Have a nice day.
