So finally, I decided to take a break from taking a break from writing and write this post, which as the title suggest and prophesies, will be a rant, expressed, as all rants are, with strong emotions and expressed, quite unlike all rants, with some sardonic expressions.
So, without further ado, here's a list of things that are bugging me right now.
1) MY INTERN - Even though it's fair to say that it isn't the worst of all possible interns, but I'm not getting the best deal either. And no, I don't wish for insatiable demands, but I do wish for consistency. Why would I want to have days when I work for 12 hours a day, instead of the requisite 10, and other days when I have to find ways to occupy myself for even those 10 hours? Why would I want to have a boss who shows me the most complicated air-conditioning system in the world and expects answers within a day, and when I do have answers, is either unwilling to listen or is too occupied elsewhere? Why would I suddenly want this boss to start paying so much attention to me that he asks me what to do after every half an hour? Why would I want to be stuck up in a place where the poshest eatery is something that is named similar to "Gujju Bhai ka Dhaba"? Why would I want to live in a guesthouse, which has a TV for sure, but with that TV not showing any star network channel? (And no, I don't give a damn about Star Plus and all, but its Star Sports, ESPN, Star Cricket and Star Movies I'm talking about.) Why would I want to have a room-mate who goes to sleep as soon as he sees double digits on his watch and wakes up even if the light is switched on for a second? Those questions, albeit rhetorical, have one answer - No way. Oh, how this intern bugs me!
2) Google Chrome crashing - I publically declare that Google Chrome's my favourite browser, and it had been working fine till yesterday. And as nothing was supposed to be going my way, off it went. And now it's gone. Not my way, but off into the wilderness. It gives a crazy error when it starts and I've tried everything from changing the version numbers, uninstalling and reinstalling multitudes of times, trying to start it under safe mode, trying to start it with kaspersky disabled, taking a coconut and offering it to my laptop so that Chrome starts working etc. In short, all that I've not done is jump around naked in my room, but again, I'm not sure it'll please my laptop. Some hot girl doing the same may, but me-I'm not sure. And working with Firefox's bugging me like hell.
3) The Internet Speed here - I'm sure I'll be able to complete this post before the youtube video loads in the adjacent tab. That is how slow the net is. Facebook's unresponsive, Bing doesn't work, sites don't open and the net stops for sometimes in between, ruthlessly murdering all my attempts at downloading something. I have had to live on the same stock of movies and songs for 2 weeks now, and patiently waited for 5 hours for a supernatural or a house episode to buffer, before the net went away and made me postpone the plans of watching the episode to the next day, and in one case, till after the vacations at IIT.
4) The thing I cannot describe here - And why's that? Because a blog is a public medium and hence, everyone can read it. I tried having a private blog, but that's no use either - cause no one can read it. And people whom I want to tell this to don't blog, so there's no point making a blog with limited viewership. And that's what somewhat explains the frequency with which I blog, because after realising that this blog post, an attempt to help me get rid of my frustration, is turning out to be a futile one, I'm thinking of not posting it, but now that I've written a long sentence like this one, I'm thinking I would make this the last sentence by increasing its convoluted nature by adding a few commas, semi-colons, colons, ellipses, hyphens, dashes or whatever other halting-the-reading punctuation marks come to my mind, so that all the readers have to go around it a lot of times to get what I'm trying to make it difficult for them to get, inspite of me wanting everyone to get it, so that at the end, when they know what bugs me, or think they know what bugs me, and if inspired by it or sure they can do a better job at it, want to write a similar post, this sentence should figure at number one on their list.
PS: This isn't a complete list. I believe Google doesn't have the hard-drive space available to be able to accommodate all that's bugging me right now.
PPS: For those of you who thought you got the last sentence,
I know that you believe you understand what you think I said,
but I'm not sure you realized that what you read is not what I meant. :D

Just 50 more days...It's more of a sarcasm than a consolation but then again...It's me...btw I am still laughing at the PPS... :)
Haan haan, rub it in, as if it's not bad enough already.
By the way, my room-mate's a Gujarati guy named Himanshu who's about 5-6 years older than I am and falls asleep at 10 with the light switched off!!
Hahahaha.. the last one's the best... too bad u're in such a mess... but like Sunir said, just a matter of 50 more days... rotflmao!!
and as far as the gujrati is concerned, go ahead give him a piece of ur mind.. the ass wont disturb u for a week at least.. and then u can repeat the procedure all over again :D
Finally some rays of hope: Chrome started working and my roomie went away for 2 weeks :D
