One fine morning ....

Going on leave for 4 days seems impossible with constant staffing issues and work piling up on my head. Beginning of the month with monthly, fortnightly and weekly reports of possibly everyone. Audit to top it all.
Severe headache,backache and doing all the man job possible .
Bookings in place, electricity, internet, phone, tatasky bills to salaries of watchman, maid and  apartment maintenance.

Finally its the day to leave. Maid cannot come . Oh well ! Its fine just a few extra dishes to wash, sweep and dispose trash. Packing luggage and gifts for all back home.
A restless night of aches pains and mosquitos followed by a super busy morning of namesake shower and stretches.

Mentally ticking the various things to do on my checklist! Heater off ?Tick !
Cooking gas ?Tick ! Tickets ? Tick!

All these as i wait for the cab after explaining the simple route to my apartment!
I wait and wait and wait . Make some frantic calls to cab agency and driverhe just wouldnt reach me .
I made a few neighbours explain again and again landmarks and shortcuts to the driver. 
I left my luggage behind and in the morning chennai sun walked to the nearby main road in my little black uniform dress with a few whistling, a few judging . I get an auto and  come back for my luggage .

Is this the end of my adventurous morning ? 
As i settle in, now the auto needs to stop for fuel .

I have the keys to my workplace and need to be there at 10.30 sharp and its 10.05 and i am still the way 


And i reached on time :)

  1. how about subscribing for annual packages on bills....say tatasky? that way you are spared the every-month torture....and btw, come on....a lbd as work uniform is bound to get you a few wolfwhistles in conservative chennai....for them..you are probably as exotic as a siberian crane flying overhead....enjoy the stares and admiration as your due....it just means you rock...
