How stupider can I get??!!

Incase you were wondering what a stupid oaf can “accomplish”, read along to find out.

The Beginning

Yesterday was a great day in Bangalore. The climate was, to borrow the term, 'awesome'. Cool winds galore, the sun was probably taking a short nap. I woke up at 7 (wanted to wake up at 5 and get ready for a meeting) and managed to press my clothes and descended down the steps rapidly only to find that one small slip of the leg is a huge hole in the trousers. Started pressing another trouser and at the end, forgot my mobile at home and came to the office.

At the office

I reached office at a shade closer to 9.30 and scrambled to some meeting that had no purpose (Perhaps, the word meeting translates into good-for-nothing) After the meeting, had some great time at the office. Before I knew it, it was 6pm. After frustrating people who were staying back I packed my li'le 'luggage', forgetting a little thing that would prove (or is it re-prove?) that I am indeed a stupid oaf!

Climax (anti-climax is more apt)

I reached home at 7, happy in the knowledge that some were still at the office bending over backward to get some work done. Dug into my 'luggage' and much to my chagrin, found that I had left my house key at the office! Next, I did an even more brilliant thing; put my 'luggage' in my neighbors care and started my journey back to the office to retrieve the keys. Reached office, took the key and walked all the way to the main road (Fact: It is about 1.2 kms from the office to the bus stop). There, I dug into my pockets and found that I had left my wallet with the 'luggage' at my neighbors place. How I wished I wasn’t born! I again came to the office hoping that I would be able to get some notes from friends. When I came back, all my office mates, who are used to staying till 9.30pm at least, had left quite early. The office was deserted at 9!! Had to borrow from the security guard - who was in the meantime, giving me some ugly looks - and with some more obstacles thrown in by the evil enemy reached home! Like some anonymous pal said – “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going”.
