Friends are like Angels

Was having such a lousy, lousy today…. Everything seemed to go wrong. The first call I get in the morning is from the printer who says that

A) he hasn’t laminated my magazines cos’ he didn’t know he had to? (huh??) what was he doing with the sample he was given? Using it as a pillow??

B) he was having some problem (again) with meeting with deadlines (again and again). How I rue the day we picked him as our printer. A darned good lesson NOT to always pick the lowest quotation.

This was enough to really muck up my day cos’ I had to spend a lot of time on the phone negotiating with the horrid little man too…. Anyways… don’t wanna go through thinking about all of it again… the reason why I started writing this was cos everyone in office sensed my mood (NOT a difficult task given my woebegone face I guess).

Rukshana went down to the bank and when she returned plonked down a delicious looking éclair on my desk asking me to cheer up. Well that she certainly managed to cheer me up somewhat …. Not with the éclair so much as with the sweet thought of wanting to lift my spirits. That certainly made my day! Thanks Rukshana.
