Disaster!

I seem to be losing sanity by the day/hour/minute/second! Today was a maddening day - car broke down not once, not twice, not even thrice but four freakin times :( wasted close to half a day running from one mechanic to another. vendors were after my life - for inputs, artworks, approvals and worst of all for payments. clients happily chose to sit mum; today was a listed holiday after all. when the going gets tough, no one really wants to understand; god included. walking through weird alleys swarmed with flies, cows and dirty plates, today being some bhandara, people all over town had to dish out food under tents today only. so much so for driving 20 kms to the printing press and finding it locked. still managed to keep my cool. car showed signs of giving way again. this time i didnt stop and took a chance. distributed promotional collateral material for one of the big brands on my client list. ran into college friends and awkward moments. finally finished work and realised hadn't eaten lunch. didn't feel like eating. vendor called again. idiot. spoke to him in the middle of connaught place while driving. looked around. no cops. was waiting at the red light to go home. took the left and was greeted by thullas. left turn not free. challan hoga. driving license was a copy. gave him a sob story about being unaware of traffic rules. unluckily had money in the wallet but was determined not to give it. they sent me to an atm to withdraw cash for the challan. went in and transfered all the money into my jean's pocket leaving a hundred and thirty bucks in the wallet. inserted blocked credit card into the atm and the slip read 'transaction declined' :) happily took the slip and went to the cop with a frown.. paise nahin hai.. card bhi decline ho gaya.. (i felt like the smartest man alive).. gave him the 100 and he let me go..

its 2 30 am.. still working.. i think i should hire someone.. looking for the right 'candidate'.. anyone interested?

p.s. credit card guy was constantly calling.. got a settlement done.. clearing dues tomo :) one card out of the way.. watch this space for more!
