A Screwed Up Day


I m sitting idle here, with lots of work pending on me, and lot of expectation by people that I will complete them in time. You may be wondering why I am sitting Idle here although there is lot of work pending? I just don’t want to give you reasons, why should I tell you. If you ask more, I will lose my temper and may start beating you back and forth.

What's wrong? First place, what is in right place? It was not the first time for me to be here, but most of the time, never found this uncomfortable here. May be I am kind of person, who insist everything to be in place, in time. So if some small thing get misplaced or messed up I lose my temper.

Here is what happed after I arrive here. I landed in Korea and reached Castle hotel, All flights were on time, got the bus just after coming out of airport, Mr. Park was waiting for me to pick me up to the guest house. Things started getting worse, when he started waiting for some more people, who came in my flight, but lazy asses missed the bus and they came half an hour late. On the way to guest house we found that there are not many rooms available, so we were hoping to get at least some room, we don’t want to get into some MOTEL.

He put me in some room, which was a 3 sharing room, decent room with most of the facilities in it. I was happy about it, at least he put me in a nice room, although was not sure the roommate sitting in front of me will turn a big head-ache as big as he himself is!. After a while, I found that this chap is on the net all time doing nothing!! I wanted to call home, and he agreed to give the net, thank god! Immediately I got a separate net connection for me from Teji after the dinner. Things went smooth till I went to sleep. I am so tired after this long journey and wanted to have a nice sleep till morning 10. But!! .. This f***** a****** (here after referred to as FA)is snoring like hell, and all night! It was sounding like a loaded washing machine. My god, I tried not to hear that sound, but it’s so loud that I could not sleep. After all, its god-given, I tried to forgive him, but I went crazy when his phone started playing ugly-long ringtones for the messages he received all night! I don’t know who the FA is sending him messages all night!! I really go pissed off, thought of calling Teji and asking to change the room, but it’s already too late in the night. May be because I was too tired, I fell asleep for a while, and got up when his alarm rang at 6. What the F***, he has not only kept alarm for 6, it’s for every 5 minutes then onwards till 8.30, it only stopped when I shouted at him saying "Either you wake up or keep the alarm for right time". My god where does these crazy Indian a******s come from? He left and somehow I felt better.

I came to office; things were not right with Koreans too :). They have messed up with my passport number and I had to wait in shivering cold for more than one hour for getting it re-registered. The guy I was supposed to call was in a meeting, and I had to call someone else to get things done. Fortunately I knew someone else from the LAB who could help. After seeing me sometime in cold, the security called me inside to sit in their cabin. Nice of them, thanks buddies.

I came to my work place, and things were not nice again. The company's screwed up policies left me in no network condition all time in the morning, and I could not talk to my family who were waiting to hear from me. The PC they gave was one used by Indians, from our team, said this much, it does not need an explanation as its completely screwed up, I asked them to get some other PC or get the windows re-installed on it. Nothing happened till now. I got a different IP and it allowed me to use network for some time, I could just inform about ma tragic story to my family and friends and get rid of some of my frustration. So now, I am sitting idle here with lots of work pending on me. ....

Its few days now, things have turned better after 2 days, I got a fresh PC after demand, net is working. Two of ma friends sits around me and we meet for coffee in between work. At room, I sleep early before any snoring starts, and if I hear any snoring when I wake up in between, I play an ugly ring tone loud, so that ge gets up and I try to fall alseep before he does! I am moving to new room on this weekend with my friends. Hope to see some better days :)
