Oh shit! Monday is here. The worst day of the week. You invent excuses for not finishing your homework or blame traffic so that you don't have to confess your guilt of oversleeping. It is also the day where we tend to forget a lot of things.
It is a habit of me to collect all my notes, pen drives and another stationaries from my office on Friday night, all in the false hope that I will work over the weekends. But weekends are for late mornings and tough cleanings. Laundry gets done on Saturdays, the expired foods gets thrown on weekends, you hope to de-clutter your house, bring in some fresh air or decide to curl up with your favourite novel on your "spot". Who thinks of work?
You let the Saturday slide into Sunday because "I can finish the work in one day". But you decide not to. As the panic sets in with the setting of the sun, you hurriedly do some work before your dinner, because you know that after dinner time, its sleep time. You keep yourself awake with thumping dance numbers, but Youtube algorithm gives you the lullabies. You sleep on your desk, your stiff neck wakes you up. You find your dining table to work with midnight snacks and Netflix for the company. Before you know it, you have finished a season of "F.R.I.E.N.D.S." and the time is 2 a.m. You decide to do the impossible, "wake up at 7 and finish the work". You never hear the alarms. When the sun hits your eyes, it's 8 already. It is in this hurry-berry that you forget your important things. It may be your pen drive, your charger, your keys, wallet or the earphone.
It happened to me this Monday. I forgot my earphones at my home. I went into anger turned sad and then accepting my fate. And a mental note down, not to abandon my earphone ever again. Now that I can't listen to music or the sizzling of the meat when Ramsay cooks or the Facebook "funny dogs" video. I decided to take it in my stride. At the end of the day, I found that I have finished my ever pending report because I was not taking "breaks" to see Ramsay shouting fucks around the kitchen or that video where people fall and you laugh. I ended up reading news from the online newspaper and not the "news feed".
Yeah, good things happen once in a while. But I am never forgetting my earphones again because I just can't trust my stupid girlfriends to sent me sensible audio messages.
