Sounds of silence

No new year resolutions, shitloads of work, a marathon that left me feeling like king of the world, random evenings hanging out, some people giving up on you, you finally giving up on some people and some more work is what has characterised my life all of January.

I sit back and think I dont want to work anymore for today. But there are 2 organisations to be risk-profiled, a lawyer to be met and a conference call with some dick-head yanks to 'strategise' and 'figure out implications' to be completed before I can proclaim I'm free for the day.

I've been feeling pretty much purposeless and adrift since yesterday. When I feel like this, I get fixated on one thing and continue doing it till the feeling goes away. This time the fixation is water. Have been drinking tankfulls of it without stop since yesterday to wash off this feeling of purposelessness and to take my mind off it.

I've picked up the phone innumerable times since yesterday and then kept it back and picked up the bottle of water instead. Yeah, am swimming and yeah, the attendant at the loo in office has been looking at me quizzically...:-D

I dont feel very alive right now - guess it'll be a couple of days more before the feeling comes back. The silent hum of the AC in a noise free environment exacerbates the feeling.

I think I need to kill those worms with some potent liquids this weekend.

Will you sms me about the potent liquids you have mentioned, if they manage to kill those terrible worms that make you feel less alive.
