Sleep beckons

Aah! finally met my deadline. I know, we all hate that. Some actually enjoy the feeling. In these past couple of days, I have been through hell. Call it, once bitten twice shy. Being extra cautious doesn't really help. Deadlines, induce anxiety and stresses me out, coz irresepective of how well I have planned, I have to sweat it out the night before that. But, I guess we all need a deadline, otherwise, we would be flowing around like a dupatta in wind! Aah! bad analogy..Nevermind! Finally, read it somewhere "I just love deadlines, love the whooshing sound they make, when they go":))) I have come to terms with the fact that since I get tensed anyways, there are just few things and just the right kind of people who can make it all easier. For example: 1. A conference call that will crack you up or a call with a friend talking about absolute nonsensical things, which make so much sense at that time! 2. A friend who can drive down in the middle of night for crisis managment. He/She may not know the nature of your work, but clearly a welcome company to soothe your nerves. 3. Imagine having a company in the department, when the whole place is almost like a "bhoot-bangla" 4. A friend who is well versed with computers. I have realized that I probably need to take classes for "MS WORD for Dummies" . Yeah! laugh at me, but I have had a harrowing time, with "image managment". Those stupid "Align with text, top right, group and ungroup" Sheesh! so many options just add to confusion:)) I swear this computer has inflicted so much agony that I dont even feel like using the Yahoo Messenger now:O 5. Music.........I have couple of CDs that I listen to only during crisis. "Mantra Shakti" is one amongst them and also the melody of Santoor.. 6. A friend to calm you down and give you that much needed hug:) 7. And finally someone to pray for you..dil se:) Hurray! me being taken out for dinner tonite. Forget the outcome. There are few people who still feel that I deserve that:D Tiramisu here I come:)
