I'm feeling pretty groggy today. It was a long day yesterday ending at around 12 am. It rained on and off throughout the whole day but I loved it. Calm and quiet is what I prefer. I strolled in late to work again this time almost by two hours. Now you don't do that when you're just a newbie at your office. But that's plain old me. I somehow manage to pull it off. I've proudly carried on with my tradition of being late for most things I do, well that if I remember properly is since the time I was a kid at school. I used to put my school uniform on while I was half asleep and then had my breakfast in bed too to avoid getting late for school. Good old days....Anyways no more bragging today.
So, the only thing I was looking forward to yesterday was the get-together party at Spectra in Gulshan 1. Well what can I say, I didn't have a darn thing planned out for the day so by default it was the only thing on my fun list. There was nothing much going on at work. Some coffee, some music, and a few smokes is all I can talk about. So at around 7 pm I'm in the office car all set to make it for this get-together which was going to be marking the 5th year of Sisimpur. There I was, like a fish out of water. Ali Zaker ( our director ) cut a few jokes which I didn't seem to decode. Everyone was laughing in approval though...I didn't want to offend him either so I had a smile pasted on. I hardly knew anyone except for the few people I got to know in my 15 days of work. I'm no social butterfly to be honest but I tried my best to be friendly and approachable and I did get to know some of our Mupeteers and a few other people. The mood didn't get any better however. The music was a flop, the settings weren't far from that either, and the food was below par. All the dancing was bizarre but at least the few that managed to dance to the music seemed to enjoy themselves. Hats off to them.. Well probably it was the vodka. My grey shirt and black Jeans wasn't a bad match for the event(No I don't want to say that I'm comparing this to some funeral gathering). Ahh..I just love my intuition at times, ahem...The only thing I enjoyed though was the funny segments from all the seasons that they had. That did tickle my funny gene to some action.Anyways, the party rolled on for what seemed like forever and then I was rescued by the office transport. Not like 911, everything is slow here...Let us all pray for a better future..Amen...
