You wake up with a splitting headache in the morning, the headache attributed to two factors: the booze from yesterday and the meeting due with your advisor today ; you run into the shower and then realize that the hot water is out for some stupid reason (so that was what that lengthy note on the door from the renting company was!); you hop out like a rabbit hoping to get some comfort from Messrs Folgers or Nescafe and then realize that the milk in the fridge has gone bad; you check the fridge to get a bite of something and notice that the last item in the fridge was the bad milk; you quickly get ready (chuck that half-consumed glass of coffee-curds into the trash) and go firstly to drop off the dvd you had rented - and then realize that you still have the dvd in your computer and that it was only the cover that you just deposited into the dropbox; you then realize that there was a fine due if the dvd were not returned today (and you didn't even like the film!); you realize that today was also the last day to pay your gas bill, which for some reason seemed excessive (though second thoughts assured that you had indeed consumed all of it) and that failure to do the same would result in termination of service; you run towards the department and on the way, slip on the only little frozen spot on the sidewalk and fall; you get to your office to run some tests and get some numbers before you meet your advisor, and notice that the office computer is 'down' on account of maintenance; your office-mate (whom you had not set your eyes upon, all this long) is back and sitting by his desk with no intent of moving out - which means you have to listen to him all day making the kind of sounds that are so difficult to transcribe on paper; you reach out for the stick of gum you had in your desk and find it missing and then turn because your office-mate is currently involved in creating new annoying sounds, the kind that would make Wally proud, chewing what looks from the little you can see, like a stick of gum; you assemble some results and realize that all the input numbers are mixed up; and finally after a long tiring run, armed with all sorts of messed-up, nonsensical and misleading data, you reach your advisor's office to see a note addressed to you asking you to make the paper submission by today evening; and then see that his door is locked; you realize that he is done for the day.
He is done for the day!
you realize that he is out of town and won't be back till the new year; you get back to your office and see that your office-mate has left; you then pull open another drawer and notice that your stick of gum is here, after all; you check up for the paper submission deadline and notice that the deadline has been postponed to the first week of January; you realize that the fall from earlier this day has smoothened out the zit on your elbow; you come home and see a mail saying the gas bill had been miscalculated and that you are exempt from paying the bill for the next month as a token of their apology; you then realize that the dvd was not your rental and that it was actually your office-mate's dvd rental, so the fine was not on you; you realize that the little spot of ice you slipped on in the morning is all gone now and the weather forecast for the next week reads clear blue skies with the temperature in the 50s; you realize that you were going out of town tomorrow morning and had planned to clean out the fridge before you went and notice that it now seemed already done.
No wonder, people love Christmas!!
