Emails & Sprains

I am not a regular here, so please excuse my novice writing style.

Fridays rock, right? But the last one was particularly awful. I sprained both my ankle & my knee on that fateful day. How I wished I had been careful about that email.... Email, huh??

Well it so happened that the previous week I missed out on replying to an important email, which caused our team an escalation & me a near total verbal annihilation at the hands of my manager. After a lengthy session on the importance of emails, he let me off. Now I was on a mission to be perfect at work. Things started brightening up the following week. But my fire to impress had not died down. While eating, watching TV or when outside, I would make sure my all the emails are answered to, on my Handheld. With thoughts of the office preoccupying my mind, I went to sleep on Thursday night. Dreamy that I am, soon I drifted back to my hometown to be with my cousins; laughing , joking, having a drink. (Well that part is a lil fuzzy :D). All of a sudden my handheld buzzed. The fine line between dreams & reality erased. Now the "Professional-Jay" sprung into action & accidentally/ unfortunately out of the bed too. Not realising I was half asleep, my numb left leg could not handle my weight, twisting my ankle & crashlanding me on my knee. As if this was not enough, my creative mind told me that there was an intruder under my bed (Gosh! I behave like a schoolgirl at times:P). In a bid to look under the bed & catch hold of the culprit, I fell again with similar consequences.
Heroism & creativity went out of the window as I wailed in pain, trying to reconstruct what exactly happened. Finally regaining senses I looked for my PDA & damn, there were no emails. It was my wake up alarm.... Urrrgghh!!!

Well the irony of the story is, I could not attend office that day & don't think will be able to, on Monday either.

Yeah.. So this is my first blog & I am devoting it entirely to vent my anger out against that unanswered Email.

So long, ppl.

PS: In case you guys think I cooked up this story, let me clarify that I have a tendency to talk & do silly stuff in sleep :P
