AN IDLE MIND IN AN EMPTY OFFICE

It's 10.30 pm and I'm waiting in office, all alone, for an AV to turn up. The biggest thrill in my week so far is that I've been granted a net connection for an evening because I urgently needed the ability to download. And while I know how sad that is, I also implore that nobody say it out loud!

Of the few things that happened while I idly waited, some struck realisation:

• Nobody questioned/double-checked on whether all was okay with the AV. I was apparently considered dependable.
• After a completely exhausting week, I'd wanted to go home early today. I'd wanted to shop for munchies, book tickets to movies to go to with my parents when they came here for the weekend, chill out in my pyjamas. I've done none of those. And I don't like the feeling that that's left behind.
• I'm very excited about having my parents over :) I wonder if they get as excited if I'm home after a long time. Which, though, is rare :)
• A conversation with a friend left me reminiscing about days gone by.. I know now, that however deep I may have buried the skeletons in my past, I shall never forget.

My AV is here. In many ways, I'm glad. Let sleeping dogs lie.
