I was slowly making plans for these holidays. I was expecting it to be a long one; atleast around 50 days long. But unfortunately, mammen called me up to say that we had to join Amdocs on 8th this month!
Yep 8th...and today is 2nd! Wat the hell! Yea, i was hoping for an early joining date, with some of my friends having their offers canceled and some deferred. But isn't this a lil too early! My last vacation has just started.
Now all the plans have to be cancelled. I will prolly be leaving Mangalore on the 6th. That leaves me with just 3 days. I just got my unlimited net connection yesterday. But i can hardly use it now. :( Let me see what else could be done with these 72 hours. Hmmm...
PS: Ofcourse I am not very upset about the date with the current scenario; but perhaps it would have been better if I was informed abt an early date in advance. I'd have been mentally prepared for it.
PS: Nadal out, murray out! Will FedEx do it this time at the Rolland Garros?!
Got my joining date
