I am lazy.<\/p>\n
Just for the record, let me repeat that. I am lazy.<\/p>\n
There is a lot of difference between being lazy and letting things be and being lazy and acknowledging it and then letting things be. It makes one feel more self-righteous. Stop feeling self-rigteous, beatzo.<\/p>\n
Things I really really need to do:<\/p>\n
1) Get my synth fixed.
\n2) Fix a computer. ( not mine, mine works perfectly)
\n3) Apply for a PAN card.
\n4) Apply for my College Pass Certificate.
\n5) Apply for a No-Objection letter from my office in order to apply for a passport.
\n6) After (4) and (5) are over, apply for a passport.
\n7) Order for a new gas-connection at home. Buy a burner.<\/p>\n
The list goes on. Of course there’s work to be done in the office. Loads of code to be written and QAed. There are a ton of things to do, and I remain blissfully stuck in this stasis-field that’s my current life. <\/p>\n
My synth cannot be fixed because there was a blowup, it seems some IC got crisped and now it’s tough to find a substitute. At least, that’s what the electrician with whom I had left it for three months had to say. The only shop I know that sells musical instruments says that their resident synth-meister is off recording in some city and won’t be available for the next week. The “next week” has been continuing since January and I am too tired to go argue.<\/p>\n
The computer: It’s an antiquated Cyrix machine. It’s got 1 MB VGA memory, and when I try to play movies on it, the actors seem to move in a stroboscopic dance that assaults the senses. I tried to change the card to a 4 MB one, heck, I changed the motherboard. and now the darn thing has a loose slot. You literally need to open it up four times and shake the darn thing to get it started. Plus, the OS needs to be reinstalled.<\/p>\n
PAN card – when I needed to get it done, there were no passport-size photographs of mine to be found. Loads of work, so no getting a couple of new copies made either. <\/p>\n
Pass Certificate – I will have to go to Warangal. I can do so only over the weekend, when all the College offices are closed. No chance of getting a leave and going there on a normal weekday, No chance.<\/p>\n
No-Objection Letter – Of course, no one in the office has an objection. Not even the HR, and I am pretty sure I will get one done in a jiff. But I need the Pass Certificate first.<\/p>\n
Passport – The Problemo: My father’s got “connections”. He says he can get it done at Guwahati, so long as I send him the NOL and the CPC. I have neither, and I am worried about the ethics of getting it done that way. Deadlock!<\/p>\n
Gas connection: My ex-roomie scalped the lot of us. He took the gas cylinder and the burner and none of us complained. Actually I didn’t complain because I was away in Guwahati. But still. Now I can’t make popcorn at home, and none of us have had a home-made breakfast in a month. <\/p>\n
I will go get the gas-connection done today at lunch.<\/p>\n
