Do Not Disturb! – Scribbling Neurons

Do Not Disturb!

To keep my job, I’ve got to be an expert juggler.

Tabs of varied functions need to be served equally, not to mention the favorite corporate term, “urgently“: MS Excel for delivery tracking, MSN messenger for love life, oopps, office communicator I mean, lotus notes for email alerts, notepad for blog drafts,Les Miserables for reading race, longman dictionary as word aid,and the list goes on. Add to these an ear-splitting phone that never rests longer than ten minutes.

Yes, my desk would drive anyone nuts.

“Do you know how to set the phone on a “Do Not Disturb” mode?”

“Do Not Disturb?” My forehead wrote. I was dumbfounded. Barely did I feel when and how the manager disappeared in front of me. “How could I not know? Because I apparently shouldn’t?” I self-talked. I was denied the wisdom button that would save me half a day’s noise (not a halved pay,though).”Would I ever know and set my life into “Do Not Disturb” mode?” was the more pensive thought I got stuck ’til it was time to go.

As God’s angel struck a prophet’s donkey on a bland day, HäagenDazs dazzled me on my toilsome walk home. I bet I blinked for a moment yet when my sight resumed, a pint of Caramel Biscuit and Cream ice cream clung on my left hand, a sparkling spoon on my right.

Easy, Issa. You’ll miss another tasteful moment if you don’t slow down. Taking out a marker (yeah, my bag has always one or two), I wrote a note: DO NOT DISTURB, Slow melting in progress. Then I vanished into mirthful make-believe.
