Red Tomatoe Face

I don't know what's going on but my face looks like a red tomato. Maybe the heat of the fever has taken to my face. But whatever it is, it is really funny. Can't stop laughing whenever i see myself in the mirror. It's not that i have never laughed at myself before but i am finding this 'red tomato face' of mine completely hilarious.

My Pulse Beats

This fever has provided me with an opportunity i had been seeking for a long time. I always wanted to feel a racing pulse on myself. But every time i checkedin the past, the speed would be slow and the count would be less than 80. But today i manually recorded up to 100 beats of the pulse on my hand. Yuppiee!!! Now that was fun. :-D

I am sad the count has dropped to a 90 right now. But i guess that's good. Nurturing a fever is not a good idea. I have taken medicine as well so i guess i will be all well by morning Insha ALlah. :-D

Working Saturday, Working Sick

On top of all this sickness and fever and all I, the poor soul, had to go to office as well to finish up some work. I was unable to concentrate on it for the past two days. So working on Saturday was a last resort. For not finishing the work i had got a "You should keep your commitments." from my boss. This made me feel a bit bad but i put in all my efforts (of what remained after battling with my fever hehehe) and finished it. Well 90% i did. :-D I would have done it all had i been perfectly fine and the technology at office would have worked perfectly for me. Both were not perfroming at their 100% so my work suffered again. On Monday somebody in my office going to get scolded by me for sure. May God help him! >:-)

Just a Little Unwell

"I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell". [Matchbox 20]
"Down With the Sickness". [Disturbed]
"Fever". [Madonna]

These above songs are portraying what i am going through right now. It came like a blow to me. One night i slept fine and next day woke up sick. The whole day has passed and i am still feverish. My mom is worried. But i am chillling ;-)

Scary Interviewer

Looking at the blog title you might wonder who is that. Or maybe you might say that every interviewer is like that. But right now i am only refering to myself and nobody else. I think i did manage to "scare" a guy who had come for an interview. Well i didn't "boo" at him or sneak up on him from behind. I simply pointed out in the very beginning of the interview to him that his resume' was not tailored for the job he had applied for, which was QA Engineer. He was apologetic about it and said he would fix it. But i felt that that comment of mine sort of scared him and the scare remained till the end of the interview, and even after that. Oh well, i hope he forgives me as i would really wish for him to say goodby to his project at his company and come join my team. :-)

Busy Day or What!

I was in the interview panel for two QA interviews. I was sort of an observer in the third. Took part in two really long meetings that lasted more than an hour each. Faced 3 hours of load shedding. Tried concentrating on a small task but failed to complete it. Sent my team's task report to my Operations Manager. And that's pretty much what i did in the office. Looks very little when i see it this way but it felt like a lot.

Doing all this also took more than the usual time and i got off from the office around 9:00 pm. Reached home at 10. Had dinner and faced 1 more hour of loadshedding. The mosquitoes have feasted on me again. I am beat up real bad. Better go and take my beauty sleep. But i am dreading the next loadshedding span when the mosquitoes would be all set to devour me, yet again. Oh God please help! :-D

Feast of the Flying Buzzing Parasites

As I slowly simmered in the heat, the mosquitoes made me more scrumptious for themselves by injecting all sorts of venom in me. Not a portion not a segment did they miss. Massive colonies of mosquitoes helped themselves to the sweet nectar that runs through my veins (and off course arteries too). The feast lasted almost the entire night. I don’t know how fat and chubby the feasting mosquitoes grew, but I woke up weak. *cough cough* The strength was slowly regained as the day passed. But the “cooking” and “eating” marks remained intact. I can still see the marks gracing my body, induced upon me by the tiny ravaging beasts. I just dearly wish they don’t repeat the vicious cycle tonight again.

Snail Paced Internet Speed in Office

The net in my office is performing miserably these days. The speeds seem slower than that of a snail. In fact the speed is so slow that i was unable to post replies to comments on my blog in one go. I had to visit the page a number of times and still there was no success. I finally got through to the comments page from home. This happened yesterday and so did today. I wonder what would the situation be like tomorrow.

In all these battles with the speed, i completely forgot to "twitter". :'(

Changing Time on the Clocks

As soon as it struck 12 am at night (or didn't), i set out to set the correct time on the clocks of my house. I did the wall clock in the lounge first. Then i did Abbu's mobile and then Ammi's. After that i corrected the time on my mobiles and the wall clock in my room. I knew i was missing some of the time telling gadgets. Just realised a moment ago that i needed to correct my computer clock too, so i did. Which reminds me that my wrist watch is still telling the 'old' time. Wait for me dear faithful watch, here i come to set things straight. :-D hehe

Daylight Saving in Pakistan

Today we, the Pakistani people, also stepped into the realm of daylight saving time. When the clock struck 12 am at night, the time was forwarded to 1:00 am. As the news channels were blaring yesterday, "Tonight the clocks in Pakistan will not strike 12." :-D hehe

So here we are at the advent of the daylight saving ritual once again. This was not the first time. It was tried to be implemented once, several years later as well. It did not work at that time. I wonder what will the results be this time. All we can do is wait and see.
