On Saturday, I took my team at work out for lunch... while crossing the road, I lost my footing and ended up saving myself by using my fist to stabilize myself... why did I use my fist? Well, let me put it this way, I couldn't use my palm as it was wrapped around my phone... so basically, to cut a long story short, I bruised my knuckle over my little finger... the wound was duly washed and a band-aid applied in all urgency...
Fast forward to this morning... on Tuesday... I woke up and realized that there was a huge bubble over the wound... obviously there was some fluid in there... I kept looking at it in disgust... and so began my really bad morning... I had loads of work to do at work... but I could not get ready as the wound was swelling and hurting whenever I would try and close my hand...
Since the entire Familia was out of town I had no way of getting anyone else's help and I knew that I was on my own...
So here was the plan of action...
- Call up Work and delegate
- Then go to the hospital, get the bubble burst and dressed
- Come back home
- get ready for work
- Go to work
- Called up work, and realized that:
- The work that was supposed to be completed last night was never completed
- The training could not start on time because of that
- There was an additional requirement of more power connections
- So in response, to the above points I quickly called up the right people, did a lot of Hindi, and prayed to god that better sense prevails and I do not lose my job over this
- Got ready for the hospital and stepped out of the house with the wallet and phone and locked the door only to realize that I have forgotten the home and car keys inside
- Walked to the hospital, got the bubble burst, waited for it dry out a bit, got it dressed
- Then I walked to the market to look for a Key Maker
- Located the Key Maker who obviously had attitude issues, and constantly kept on bugging me about how he makes an honest living and how he isn't sure that I live in the house I was getting unlocked
- Brought him home
- Got the door unlocked
- Took almost an hour and a half to get ready, because tying a turban with a bandaged hand is quite a task
- Left for work
