I was travelling last week for yet another training in Kolkatta….(this time around it was a heavy dose technical training, so nothing exciting enough to write about)…coming back to Kolkatta….I had this tired, hectic day and so decided will hit the bed early…..finished my dinner early, vouched not to logon to internet and said my goodnights…..I finally land in the bed and realize, the mind and body alike refuse to fall asleep that early, as early as 9:30PM!!!!So, I laze around letting my mind wander hither-wither….out of the random thoughts, I had a weird thought – what if there is an emergency at that very moment and the building (guest house) had to evacuated? Something like a fire, an earth quake? Given the fact that all thoughts have to be deliberated (irrespective of how radical or weird) – I did so!
The first thing I could think of to take along if I had to run, was my mobile (I think most of us would) but the next thought that struck me, was what appalled me – I ACTUALLY thought of my work, if I had replicated my work and would there be a copy if my laptop was left behind!!!! Can you beat that??
I know few of my very good friends may see the ditcher in me, those friends to whom I have been a reliable companion when it comes to planning different ways of staying away from work, various ideas which would pop out to replace the tedious work schedule with exciting outings etc., [mention about "plan" was intentional, since sadly, no attempt was ever made to execute them :-( ] Trust me guys, this was not a deliberate attempt of betrayal, my mind seems to be corrupted by some life threatening virus!!
Why I thought about this is still a puzzle – maybe I am too loyal to my work [;-)] OR maybe my reflexes are set to a default rework denial!!
You all know answer to this one!! [:D]
