There are some days ....

1. The issue i am working on requires me to send a mail to an account accessible via Outlook. Our office has gone in for an SMTp server upgrade, and the new SMTP server decides to treat my mails as SPAM

2. Frustrated, i decide to go play some badminton. On my way to the court, i meet my TM who says "Lets have our weekly team meeting now".

3. I hurry up after a half-hearted game (thats right, i lost, thats right, i blame it on the TM) only to find that my team lead has more important things to do that attend meetings.

3. Twiddle my thumbs for almost an hour, when i get a call saying the SMTP server has kindly consented to not treat my mails as spam anymore.

4. Overjoyed(?) i immediately send a mail to myself, but get called for the meeting before i can check the results.

5. Come back from the meeting to find that though my mails are not spam anymore, his highness does not like my attachments, and has changed their names to suit his royal taste.

6. I am trying to figure out how exactly i have displeased his highness, and this displeases him even more. He is not sening anybody's mails anymore.

7. After frantic phone calls to anyone who can placate him, i decide to try my hand at another game. Since it is not a decent time for anyone to be playing, there are no decent shuttles around. Play several indecent games with several indecent shuttles (thats right we won, thats right, i blame it on my partner)

8. After an hour of indecency, i come up to find that people are still trying to get his highness to work. My misery has inspired me to start a blog. But it is not meant to be. The only thing essential to write a blog is missing. ( net connection, what else ?)

9. After watching half an episode of friends season 1, i decide to call it a day. Reach home at 11, half drenched.

Barely an hour away, tomorrow is another day ...
