The timing aint right, with the current economic slow down life is a bitch for all, the uprising its begun, war cries are writ large on the faces around me, I am back at work, neck brace, bandages and a 5 day stubble. Someone even commented I resemble Dev anand from the movie Guide ( the moment where he is about to die) says a lot about the way I look. I did think of shaving this morning but couldn’t grip the damn blade. Images of me running out of the washroom all cut up and bleeding stopped me from committing this act of self-improvement.

Despite the physiotherapy and the forced bed rest, the neck and the depressed nerves haven’t improved. I wonder when I shall wake up without my neck feeling like a lead anvil.

Office is still the same, ac’s don’t work, the new ones haven’t arrived and the boss is ignoring my presence, she is obviously mighty pissed coz I was ill.

I do foresee another showdown today and I promise to walk out for another few days if she even says a word to me. I have 32 days leave left and I intend to use them this time around.

Now coming back to the economic slow down, the situation is bad enough for most of us who are thinking of leaving of actually staying back and taking more shit coz at the end of the day the stomach needs to be fed.
I had a friend who told me a month back, its easier to think of quitting and walking away when the stomach is full. I guess his words of wisdom stuck.
