The wakeup alarm rings at 6am. With closed eyes I reach out my hands to find my HTC. "Maakda... its 6o'clock again!!! I won't shave today so that I get another 10 minutes to sleep..." I put alarm on snooze pull the blanket and snuggle comfortably. After 10 minutes, the alarm sounds again. Why the hell does time fly so fast in the mornings? With closed eyes my hands reach out again to silence the alarm, hoping to hit the snooze button. Continue sleeping...
I subconsciously felt that… "This time 10 minutes kuch jyaada ho gaya." I somehow managed to open one eye to look at the wall clock. "Hey Bhwagwaan!!! It's already 6.30am. I must have pressed the wrong button AGAIN. But you know what, since I'm already late, I might as well lay down a bit more." After about 5 minutes, I open my eyes to look at the clock. After another 10 minutes… I open my eyes again to look at the wall clock. "Why not sleep for another 5 minutes, since so much time has already passed?" I open my eyes and see it’s only a minute to 7.00 now. I sit down with blanket around my shoulders. "OK! OK! 7.05 Already. Must go and shower.” I leisurely did my bathroom rituals, when I got out I saw, 20 more minutes have passed!!! Officially my office starts at 8.00 a.m. "Never mind... A little delay doesn't matter much. I'll make up for it. " I choose the clothes to wear. Iron them quickly if necessary. Dress up, put some CK – IN2U. Rush to pack my laptop, fill in some water in my recycled water bottle, check to see whether I need to throw trash today. "Nope! No trash today. " Pick up yesterdays samosa’s from fridge, mobile phone, close the window, switch off AC, take wallet, Access Card and laptop bag, wear shoes and go out at 7.35. ( I always tell myself that it's better to be late , since there will be no office traffic.) Go down the stairs and start my car. . reach office by 8.30. (Actually I reach my office area earlier than that, but finding a place to park takes some time.)
During peak hours, it takes longer to reach office. I know coz I've tried. But still, that isn't a good excuse. I definitely can't be the employee of the month. Before anyone goes tsk! tsk! tsk! It really is a task getting up every morning. High time for me to find a new job and try something new. Something that'll get me excited to go to work like I used to, a long time ago.
And before you start pulling out the hair from your nostrils, assuming that you have already pulled out all the hair from your head, tata bye bye… ;)
