Cruel corporate slave drivers making us come to work on Saturdays! The worst torture there is! Employees come in looking either like they were forced to get outta bed or dressed ready to go partying! Either way, no one is in a mood to get any work done anyway, so how can they be expected to be productive?
There I am at work, sleepy as hell on a saturday afternoon, and bemoaning my fate, when a chat window pops up on my pc screen. The convo:
Colleague on 5th Floor: Good news
Janefield: what what???
Colleague on 5th Floor: but what do i get?
Janefield: hmm...its a saturday...so not much up for grabs :D
Colleague on 5th Floor: alright...then i will talk to somebody who might be interested :-)
Janefield: wait wait...sigh...what do you want? (resigned tone)...*anything to perk up a saturday at work *
Colleague on 5th Floor: Hee hee...one big rasgulla would be just fine!
Janefield: oh, is that all? Done!
Colleague on 5th Floor: yup, thats all i desire! great! now here is the good news...u dont have ur phone with you :-)))
Janefield: O SHIT (only now enlightenment dawns...no phone on desk...)
Colleague on 5th Floor: hee hee...i know where it is
Janefield: O GAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWD...! whr is it? whr is it??
Colleague on 5th Floor: for that another rasgulla ;-)
Janefield: o man...i can't believe this...i am priceless!
Colleague on 5th Floor: hee hee...its with K on the 4th floor
Janefield: what?? i'm on the 7th floor...how did it get there? how was it traced to me?? *praises the Lord and tries not to ask too many q's*
Colleague on 5th Floor: no clue...but she got the phone and as always my name was on the top of the list :D she called and i said hi jane! that's when she understood it was yours.
Janefield: i don't understand...why did she call you?? wait...let me call you now on your extension...!
To cut a long story short, the person who had found my phone (had left it in the bathroom!!) called the first recognizable (within office) name on my contact list. Phew...! I hadn't even missed my phone, did not even realize it was misplaced! Heights of saturday sloppiness! My precious new phone, that too, how could I been so careless!
Well, since this happened, I have misplaced the phone 2 more times, each time on a Saturday!! And have been lucky enough to have gotten it back as well, each time. The phone has probably spent more time in other people's hands than in mine! Now, I owe rossagullas, cakes, and god knows what next if I keep this up.... :-(
What do I need to keep on a tight leash? My phone or my scatterbrained mind?!

Keep that phone in check - i hate other people touching my phone! Hate it! Just as much as I hate other people driving my car! :)
While you are at it - how about a rasgulla to me too? :)
#Lajjo,
How DARE you say anything bad about my phone?! Hmmmmph! I will make CHIPnachoor outta you :P
#QSG,
Hi there :-) I know yaar...truly sorry for making such a ruckus about all this. :-((
Rosgulla I will send if you can help suggest cool solution for my praablem :D
I left my phone on the car while getting in. Next thing I see while driving at 80kmph is my phone tumbling on the asphalt. When back and got it intact...as intact as a phone can be after a few cars have run over it. Managed to get my SIM.
Wowww Jane,
Did I read "CAKE"?? Chocolate cake??? Did you realise Jane, you just invited me to your place, rather office, that too on a Saturday :P
So be prepared with a choc cake next Saturday, coz il make sure I steal your phone even if you're too careful about it :P
Hum cake khane ke liye kahin bhi jaa sakte hai aur kuch bhi kar sakte hai MUAHAHAHAHAHA :P
@ Gems
Hi 5 Gems!! Me too hate to see my cell & car in anyone else's hands!! Thats why I always keep my cell in my pocket or under my pillow aur car ki toh keys hi gaayab kar deti hoon ;) :P
Take care,
Aarti

u cant do that!
i need 2 talk 2 ur boss!
#Arrowhead,
Amazing! You just beat me to the trophy for the 'world's most absentminded person'. Congrats, and...*thunderous applause* :D
#Bhukkad RT,
NO more choc cake for you till December! :D
#Kautilya,
Pls do! And if talking doesn't work, do indulge in a few, well, shall we say, more "expressive" forms of coercion...er..i mean persuasion! :D
Kyun ji?? Meri shaadi toh December mein nahi hai aur naahi aapki and its neither of our bday's in December... so why December specifically?? Ohhhh, are you planning to take a new cell in Dec? Am touched Jane, aapko meri kitni parvah hai :P
Btw, if I want I can have a cake every 3rd day, coz today only my sis said that I really need to change & learn to take care & pamper myself, so am planning to start the pampering with a yummm choc cake tom! Err, interested?? MUAHAHAHAHAH, I know you love me Jane :D
Aur mujhe bhukkad bolke meri appetite ki insulet mat karo ok! :P
Take care,
Aarti
#SG,
Good idea only :D
#RT,
Was that a comment or a post?? :P I'm taking a temporary break from chocolate cake :D
But yes, do start pampering yourself, remember you can do that best, better than anyone ever can! Beshtesht advice only :)
Kyun Jane, angoor khatte ho gaye?? ;):P
Someone please to be giving me a crash course on "Pampering Yourself" :((((

Take care,
Aarti

Once I was oging to Surat alone.. and as usual.. forgot to recharge the battery that day, and because it wasn't recharged for 2 days, ah, well, it got discharged midway.. and I got my Dad all worried! :P :P his 19 year old innocent daughter was all alone in a train! :P :P
