So last weekend was crazy busy. We had a birthday party order. So after the whole week of working on my laptop, i worked the weekend on cakes and cake pops. but that wasn't what screwed up my weekend.
It started with the courier company, who promised to deliver my package within 48 hours and when I called them on Saturday asking about the package that was to be delivered that evening I was informed that the flight got delayed and hence the package would be delayed but would still be delivered that same day.
Now see that was very very important, because it was T.S's birthday on that day. and I wanted my gift to reach him on time and surprise him. But alas that wasn't happening. That is how my day began but I was still upbeat because i had a good day planned ahead. I had a movie and then the cake pops.. and then i would also get to rest at home. But again it seemed like the world was conspiring against me. Every Movie at the theater was sold out and the rest had timings that we couldn't do..:( No MOVIE.. NO PARCEL...
Saturday ended on a sore note and I thought to myself its okay, parcel will get there tomorrow, its just a day late no biggie. and then movie we'll watch next weekend. because of course i had caking to do on sunday.. s
So off I went to P's to work on the cake.. it wasn't a disaster thank god. In fact i'm quite proud of what we produced that day. I called the courier idiots many a times only to be assured that the parcel would reach that evening what so ever. and as you can guess that din't happen. At this point i wasn't even sure if they still had the parcel or had missed placed it. Not that it was very expensive but it was important to me and i wanted it to reach the person it was meant for. So ended Sunday and my Weekend.. I thought then that okay weekend over now things will look up for me. How wrong was I...!!!
Monday morning i got dressed and off i went to my kick boxing classes. On the way back people on the road picked a fight with me and tried to squish my car even though i was actually being nice to them...*venting begins* gaah will India ever be nice to women drivers.. I swear these men think that just because they are men they are better drivers or have learnt traffic rules from the womb.. but of course thats only so that they can teach it to the women folks on the road.. god forbid they follow rules themselves... oh! no... they are above that... hmph...*venting over* Anyway, that pissed me off royally and i came home and made the courier idiots life miserable... after all they promised 48 hours and it was over 96 hours then. I had every right to ask for an answer. Bloody idiots... never using that shitty service again... their answer to my complaint "it doesn't normally happen, this is the first time that its delayed so..blah blah blah " IDIOTS...
Anyway, luckily the parcel finally was delivered at 1 pm. (It was sent on 2nd May,2013 and reached on 6th May, 2013, when it was promised that it would be delivered by 4th May, 2013) At least it wasn't miss placed. and then when it was well received, my day started to look up :D... in fact i worked faster that day then i did the whole last week.
So that's all about my weekend. hoping to finally catch a movie this weekend.
Good Night and Good Bye.
P.S. I forgot to mention, I attended "fail fest " on friday evening, it was an event organized by a friend's company that goes by Deep Red Ink. Amazing concept and amazing speakers. finally people are embracing the idea that failure isn't the end and doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. Ask me, i Know.. :))
