If you are not happy, it's not the ending #14

It’s not that I’m running out of ideas but today I just want to write about my day, not anything else.

I woke up in the morning, went to office. Now there are some things currently going on there.

One: My pc isn’t working, so I need to sit with other people. I need to shift my place for 3 to 4 times per day and I hardly get a chance to do some work of my own. I have done the formalities so that the concerned authority takes care of my pc but my work is hindered for the delay. Half of the day I do my work, rest of the time I try to resolve the issue of my pc. Though I’m not qualified enough to do that, but I’m trying sincerely.

Two: I’m concerned about the upcoming months, my appraisal and some other things right now. So that is making me a little restless.

Three: It seems that one of my colleagues is avoiding me. I have been observing this for sometime but I don’t think that I will do anything about it. I might be wrong also.

Four: I was having some skin problems and rashes. For that I have been cleaning my clothes and bedsheet very frequently. I never keep my bag and dresses on my bed. Today after coming from office I found a dirty traveler bag fully covered with dust on my bed. I was about to lose my cool.

Five: I looked under my bed and found that housekeepers had cleaned my room and one of my socks is missing. Certainly they had thrown it away with garbage. I have exactly 2 pairs of socks here and now I am left with one. Thanks to the outstanding room cleaning service of my apartment, I totally appreciate their work as they always leave hints of their dedication to work (misplaced things).

Six: I had to take my food out of the fridge. I found kgs of fruits and others’ stuffs piled over my boxes. The most interesting thing is, these generous people buy a lot of fruits and throw them into fridge. After that they literally forget about their stuffs. The fruits and veggies occupy so much of space and they emit foul smell after a few days. I get the point that everybody is paying to use the same fridge but at least they should take their mess out from the fridge when the foods are no more okay for consumption. After a 30 minutes’ treasure hunt, finally I could find my food.

Seven: To be honest, my salary doesn’t allow me to live in luxury. For dresses, beauty products and grocery I try to spend as less as possible. But when it comes to food, I hardly have any self control. As my mood was already off, I wanted to have some comfort food. Then my conscience was restraining me to order food as I don’t have much money with me now, and it’s been only 16th of the month. Finally my greed won over and I ordered food. The food was quite tasty but I could only think about the money and that put me in an even worse mode.

For the things that happened in my office and apartment, I knew who the people are responsible. In apartment almost every week, I see new room cleaning people. I could only talk to the care taker, who would never understand why it is not okay to keep any random shit on my bed and take my socks along with the dirt. From my childhood I had a habit of using limited things at a time. For example I used to have like 2 pens, 1 pencil, 1 ruler, 1 eraser and 1 sharpener in my pencil box from beginning up to graduation. Dad bought me dozens of pens at a time but I used only one or two at a time, and replaced them only when they were missing or useless. So if somebody stole my things, I used to feel very bad. That was not because I could not have another one, that because it seemed a great loss to me. I may get another pair of socks when I will visit home but I am still feeling bad for the lost one.

Eight: I took a hot shower. Washed buckets of clothes. I was pretty convinced with the fact that I had a bad day. I was in washroom when my roommate entered the room. I could hear her crying. Then I realized that somebody had a worse day.

Finally it was time to write a blog and call it a day. Suddenly I got a reply from a friend whom I texted in the morning. We talked after a long time. Eventually my mood got better, so did my day (or rather night).

After feeling like shit for the entire day, I finally could go to bed with a little smile on face and gratitude in my heart! So keep faith in God and keep going ahead with positive vibes in mind.

Thanks for reading. Check out my next blog…
