Little Lizzy and Me..!!!:-(:-(

This is my desk where Lizzy found its groove and you can see how comfortable this part of my desk is to hide and laze ....;))

Its may be very wierd that today's topic is as trivial as a Lizard and its impact on me...;))))You might be thinking WTH??!!!:-)) Yes....!!! There are certain things in life which are so insignificant by nature but can be biggest troubles for u on a given day and obviously very very situational...he he he So I am going to write about how a little Lizard (lets name it Lizzy for conversational convinience hehe;) scared hell out of me...Sorry for those B rated words here and there....;))

Yesterday was like any other typical Monday's (may be I am writing for 10th time now in my blogs;) where morale was low, work load heavy, 100 things running in parallel and I was all worked up, exhausted by the time it was mid day.

Some times when I am worked up, I tend to scoot off home at three to have a breather, leaving work for the next day. But Yday, I had some handful of tasks and anvil right on my head that I had no chance of escape....Guess when ur not so energetic or interested, even ur body doesn't seem to cooperate. I was slowly developing a soar throat also by tea time but still kept myself motivated for the long day ahead......Then came the real terror.....!! This little lizzy which was sitting on my desk behind a calendar on the desk wall scurried off and I frenzied in my chair not knowing what to do.

People who know me would know how much I hate this little thing and how scared I am of it..:-((

Since childhood times, I never used to go into the room(rest room;) if I spotted one on the wall. I used to make my dad run around it with a broom to shoe it off the wall to be in peace. This fear doesnt stop with just Lizard but with rats,cats, dogs etc etc he he he I am no Maneka Gandhi, but just enjoy watching any pets from distance and a Lizardddd......Absolute NOOOOOO to even look!!!! And see, how well God tailors a script where I find a Lizard right on my working desk in what we call a sophisticated IT company and of all the people, just ME..;))

When I saw it hurrying it to next desk, I got up with a little scream and warned people in and around. Few teammates gathered around and started watching its movements and making fun of the special affinity these creatures have towards my desk which is pretty much colourful and no less than a fancy store...he he he btw this is the second time a Lizard is found in my vicinity, the first time on my neighbours desk. Another instance was a small cockroach in my food in canteen...Hmm..Scary...!! Ain't it??? My life's always happening you see...;)))

Yeah coming back to yday, I immediately reached the maintenance number and asked them to send help( he he ) to clear this little lizzy off my desk.... I was closely monitoring its movements so that I dont lose track of it by the time they come.

Just as we find our Indian Police reach after the thief leaves the crime spot in movies, so were the maintenance guys at my work too. They are always late and by the time this lady came, the little lizzy scooted off somewhere in a fraction of second when I just turned my eye :-( After a 15 mins exhaustive search in and around, we couldnt spot it. With giggles all around, the lady left saying, " Why are you scared ma??? Its a poor little thing". But in contrary, I felt rather I was the poor little thing left at the same desk not knowing where and when Lizzy would pop up;) Lizzy would surely have fun now with poor little Silly...;))

This thought( quite imaginative though) was heights for me after a frustrating day and with a feeling of disgust and pressure(;) I decided to go home even if the pending tasks are at stake. I started immediately and all these trivials guess subconsciouly effected me and I was down with soar throat and fever when I woke up this morning....;))) Phewwww!! At least this timely fever made me escape the little lizzy and its troubles that were awaiting me at my desk....But what about tomorrow??? Boo hoo....:-(:-( Wait if there would be more adventures of Silly with Lizzy...!!
