Saturday at Work..

Yesterday was a perfect Saturday at work..
I was asked to come and do some testing on Friday, I said "I'll see, if I'm not occupied with better things to do, I might turn up at work.."(not exaclty what I said to my PM, but something similar :))

I turned up at 11:30 AM, started my testing half an hour later, soon my the first bug showed up--solved it asap, and uploaded the code. I let my program run, and went on to play pool.

I had been a fanatic player of snooker/pool during my school days, and in college it was intermittent, but for the past year and a half, I hadn't touched a cue stick. My project mate and I, both of us started the game. I was a little nervous and definitely didn't want to make a fool of myself (always been cool next to pool table, had to maintain it).

My friend took the break, didn't pot any, so I took aim and WHAM!! My first pot in over a year; man that felt good. Brimming with confidence now, I continued the game. After both us exchanged a few shots, I was soon staring at the black ball aiming for top right. I put it in calm and steady, and viola!! I had won; winning does feel good. Then we continued for 2 more games, I won the first one and lost the second (though I was there till the end).

Good, now what next we both pondered. My friend said FC, while I said Gym. Ok then gym it is we decided. Worked out for around 45 mins(mainly to get into shape for the mini marathon coming in 2 weeks). After a good sweaty workout, had a good relaxing steam bath. When I was alone with the mist, I was wondering, this Saturday has been pretty good compared to the one's I've had over the past few months(all cramming up). Can it get better??

Sure, when you're having fun, you always tend to do more, so to the FC we went and had a well deserved "Orange Punch" and a mini-pizza. (workout might have gone down in the drain, but nevertheless..)

On the way back, we found the TT table to be empty, bought a new ball and started playing. TT is good fun in short spells, so we both a ball. Both of us horribly out of touch, hit fours and sixes continuously. We had just registered for a doubles inter-department TT competition and we were supposed to be practicing, though this was anything but that.

Soon it was 4 pm and we rushed back to our cubes. My friend left for the day in the infy bus, and I loitered around with my newspaper and soon left too.

It was a good day overall, considering my past Saturdays this was a screamer. Been a long time since I had good fun which didn't include partying in the night with lavi.(which comes first and is the best, as always :)).

Cheers!!
