The week of firsts

The last week's been a busy one coupled with a lot of firsts. It kicked off with my first ticket, first towing away of my first car and followed by my first second ticket soon thereafter. The misery continued into a first lonely Valentine's day (I know I might be pushing it here but play along). Wednesday was supposed to my first payday but the money never made it as the check was mailed to my old address (I still haven't seen the face of it yet). The tone improved slightly over on Thursday with the successful accomplishment of the first task assigned to me at office. The week capped off with a miserable session of my first attempt at skiing in sub zero weather conditions (yes I am enjoying my stint seated on the pillow thank you for asking).

First car. Awwwww.... deserved the attention I say. I mean, not the attention from a tow truck, but still... something is better than nothing, no?

And which century are we living in, again? People actually snail mail paychecks?? Whatever happened to internet banking and auto-credit???
Dinosaur :p

Oooooooh!!! Well unpleasant firsts make way for pleasant seconds and even more pleasant thirds. So don't worry.

@Casablanca Didnt have direct deposit set up yet hence the snail mail, wat is the deal with 'The Picture' anyways (it comes with the update in the profile if u failed to notice)

@Swathi Naah not really, why wud u think of it that ways?

@M Hopefully I got my fingers crossed, getting a look at that paycheck cud be a start :)

@totti I am up for it anytime, anyday cant say the same for Chhillar though (I hear he shall soon be co-writing a new dictionary of excuses with Shiva)

Awritee ppl focus this post is abt my travails over the last week and I am in dire need of sympathy (car got towed away again from State College for all those who care), unfortunately its not a perfect world and Miss casa decides to divert all attention to her inexplicable fascination to 'The Picture'. Well what can I say ...... thank you.

@Jinguchakka Its been a week already since the last week, and the photo update is part of the profile update. As for the receding hairline no issues there, thnx for the concern ;)

@Casablanca Will let you know as and when 'The Picture' is up in the mats as the other blog doesnt exist anymore, remember

@Anarkist I am trying ;)

@Khizzy I am glad someone does (if it was upto some ppl the pic would be outta the blogosphere), will make sure its on my passport whenever I come visiting Pak :)

@ligne I got my fingers crossed too, appreciate the concern

@Pointy Sounds better now that you put it this ways, btw the car got towed outta Copper Beach again this weekend even though it had the permit on it

ligne said...

since everyone is talking about the picture, have to tell you that is sure looks like a new you.. and for some reason keep thinking of that south indian hero (in yuva tam version) who made it big in Rang de basanti..:)

Madame Mahima said...

Madame Mahima said...

Rohan Kumar said...
