Jinxed Wednesdays
For years, Pravin and I have believed that Wednesdays are not meant for us. Thursday was what we have looked forward to. All the bad things await us on Wednesdays and good ones on Thursdays.
Today, yet another bad wednesday! Started with a phone call that went on for 1hr. The duration is of significance when you are talking to a spineless moron. Felt like swearing at him today. Criticising someone's work, maybe it happens in every profession. In software it goes a bit far, why is it that always what the developers develop ae proclaimed as the shittest pieces of code ever written. I wonder what everyone was doing when it was being designed, reviewed, approved and implemented. System that has been live for a year and won accolades is being criticised.
I could feel temperatures soaring and we being driven up the wall. People who i really admire for their patience, lost it today. So that is a reason unto itself. Gap is increasing. Technology wars don't have a solution. Neither do close-ended arguments. Almost every one i spoke to after the call was in my line of fire. I don't feel sorry about it because thats the only way i could get my frustration out. Else it would linger on for days.

Stuck at "stop and shop" with a pay phone that didn't work, i cursed myself. why did i have to go out on a bad day? Call it superstition or whatever but it happens. Stranded there with no one willing to help, no phone to call a taxi. Finally when i did call for a taxi it came after a sweet 40 mins.

Todays' timepass: Laundry. To top it all laundry machine hasn't been working for a week and it would take weeks to be up. So here i go washing by hand huge pile of clothes. There is no laundromat for miles nearby. Enuf of cribbing for the day.
