Now here's the deal. I was so so sure that I would not complain or rant for a while to average out the whiney undertone of the blog. And I intended to pretty much do just that. Nah-nah. You can't deny that really. So much so, that just when I am being all nice and positive and chirpy and downright cheerful, life decided to push me to the edge by giving me ridiculously bugging days at work. So bugging, they actually start getting more amusing than bugging and then in a while we forget that this has been a bugging day afterall. And even though we start at 7 in the morning for work, and it is like 8 in the night right now, and we are still at work, and we are still not sure when we would leave, and more importantly why we are still here, it still feels more funny than bugging. Heh, such happiness I have to say. But not good really, because the usual angry me somehow feels a little more accomplished at the end of it all. Relieved, after losing it more than once in front of more than a few important work people. Harmful, but very stress busting type activity that is. But now, when we are allowed to be rantier, unhappier, all we are doing is typing this highly incoherent blog, and venting out the frustration, by, guess what, putting up abusive status message on google. No-no, not random abuses, but more specific, changing the receiver with situational changes during the day. But in reality, we think that is a mega-loser thing to do. When really, we should be huffing and puffing (and blowing the house down), and stomping around, and passing random comments about buggers inc. to anyone who cares to hear, and increasing the volume when a member of buggers inc. is in audible distance, we are putting status messages. So. not. Ok.
On a not so different note, Excel is a weird invention. We share a typical love-hate relationship with it. Now on days, we look at all the things this sheet with rows and columns can do, and ooh and aah about how awesome all this automation is, and how did people survive without this before Bill Gates existed and all that. And on the next day, when we are hard-pressed for time, and running out of the small stock of patience we usually carry around, it acts totally weird. It will give random error messages, which you would need to google, search solutions for, fix, only to end up with another such message, only a different one this time. That's enough for us to hate it with all our heart, only the next week, when there is less work and more time, and we find out yet another awesome formula, we start liking it again. And yes ofcourse, Excel definitely features as the non-human member of Buggers Inc. Why would we bring it up otherwise.
Edited to add: Apparently, I am not. Off that is. It is 20:00 hrs on my system's clock, and I am still here rambling. Obviously I am not off. Wow. Some awesome life I have eh? And no, Firang members of Buggers Inc did not mail us anything, we are staying back really in anticipation of something they might send eventually. I think I will go get me a hot chocolate, this is going to be Jagraata after all. Sigh.

Off late, I have been having the most difficult time at work too. So much so that I ensure I mouth at least five rude comments to the management :-P
There's only so much they can push you to the edge, yes? :-)
It's kinda a tough for everyone I guess! But sometimes it goes overboard, and that's when the not so nice words tumble out like nobody's business! But it is therauptic alright!

Ooh, I love HIMYM! Thanks for the felicitation too ;), And oh yes, wil have more comments for you, I have 2005-07 left yes?
(In hindsight, I think I know who to contact when I have off days at work! :D)
Peace. Have a wonderful weekend.
Oh yes, I am like the best when it comes to discussing off days at work, for that matter any off days! The eternal ranter, I am sir.
Happy weekend to you too!
And I will ensure I avoid further embarassments by typing 'ur' in place of 'your', write 'I' as 'i', and 'that's' as 'thats'. And also add like a lot '..........' everywhere, and not bother about other punctuation? You see 'thats' all I could learn from 'ur' english in those two lines you wrote. Then I will improve, yes?
Did you hear Kaise mujhe tum from Ghajini. Awesome song. And no it was not NC who pointed it. I heard it on someone's hello tune. Wonder why the song was not promoted when the movie was released.
Argh! That song was very much promoted and kept playing on repeat for a long time on all music channels! :( You've lost touch with Bolly music!
Oh I did once remember, the dear trolly mail? But I have lost patience :P, I am kinda bored to actually bother about the smart-a** comments some people make!
Anyway, the song is great and am happy that people liked it. Its just more apt in my case ;).
I fail to understand how someone can leave such a comment.
And I'm with you, about whatever replied to him/her.
I hate it 'wen ppl typ lyk dis'. UGH.
First time here and thoroughly enjoyed the post! :)
Keep writing more of these 'this-post-has-nothing-important-to-say'

Ah, that's not the first 'friendly' anonymous comment out here, atleast this person is commenting on the writing, the others go as far as judging the writer! I used to lose patience once upon a time, but now they are more yawn inducing than anything else!
Oh, I can assure you that there are going to be more posts of this genre here!
I just happened to bump into your blog and.. must say.. got hooked to it! Way to go lady...! And, by the way, are you seriously consider writing a full-fledged book..? you should really..
Good luck to you! Cheers! :)
Phew, I realise how much such comments matter to me, only when they actually come in! Very Happy!
About the book part, that would be a dream come true :), only, though for a blog it is fine to go on and on about my life (even that has bugged people I've seen!), dunno how a similar book would work out! But seriously, that remains a dream!
Keep dropping by!
