Telephone lines should never get disconnected. Our lives are so heavily dependent on the telecommunication methods of today that a single day without a landline leaves me paralyzed. Its not that I am such a big fan of using telephone nor do indulge in unnecessary gossip over the phone. Its just the feeling of being cut out from the rest of the world that freaks one out. To add to this miserable feeling is the out of nowhere emergency need for making all sorts of calls precisely when your phone is not available. Phone in our house is used so sparingly during day times that we are almost oblivious of its existence. But today all sorts of calls were in queue when we didn't have the facility.
Then there was this hour long search for finding the fault on our ever so long telephone line. Since grabbing hold of a linesman in the evening is a difficult proposition thus it was me who had to do this job. To do this I equipped myself with a screw driver, a telephone set and a set of pliers and set out to set things right(too many sets in here). Well, an hour of trial and error yielded minimal results. The line was dead right from where it came out of the ground so wasn't much I could do. One good thing I did was steal a call from my neighbour's line and call the telephone complaints (damn the jammed mobile networks). I am sure he doesn't mind that. Anyways, thus passed my evening.
The worst thing about all this is that I needed to register for my USMLE today. Had just received the registration number and was starting with my Step 1 registration when the line went dead. This is very very annoying to happen to anyone. Then again can't do much about it.
Now the day has all gone to the dogs. I have not been able to read anything today. Not because I was working as a linesman but because I couldn't concentrate at all. This adds more to the anxiety of impending doom. I have a lot to cover and I mean a lot. I am nowhere near my targets and the worst thing is I don't feel like catching up with them.
On the contrary the week has been generally good. I have had this sense of happiness and joy owing to various good things happening in my life or should I be more precise and say to my life. Raised my spirits up but still not sufficiently enough to make me study I guess. This has started to scare me. I am so amotivated that it is getting annoying. Now this is one contradictory statement that you will read in times to come but still this is what is happening to me. I am completely completely amotivated and I am annoyed about it but I am too amotivated to do anything about it.
