Phew
What a great feeling to be relieved of a mega tension that lasts a week.
From the 5 of us in our work team, one was going to be selected to be going to Cochin for a weekend trip June 9 - 11. This trip is all expenses paid; airfare, lodging in a 5 star, food, booze, sunset cruise, ayurveda...etc. It is basically a work related trip with the purpose of educating us on Cochin as a city as well as our hotel there. The criteria that would decide who would be selected is basically which of the 5 of us can bring most number of clients on the trip.
Now, World Cup opening day is June 9th, and no way in hell I was gonna miss that. I was not making a serious effort to get client confirmations for the trip coz I didn't wanna fuckin go. However, most of the first batch of clients I called confirmed. I tell you I was getting stressed. In case I was selected, I had even formulated a back up plan of getting down on my knees and begging my boss to relieve me of Cochin duties because of WC duties. Luckily, a colleague of mine had overtaken me this morning with double the confirmations. And much to my relief, our new employee has been selected to go (not the one who got the most confirmations). Since he's new to the company, they thought it best to send him.
Chale, too close for comfort.

Hahahaha! Isn't it funny how things work out sometimes man? I bet the person with the most confirmations is a little pizzed awf at being looked over.
dude... who the hell says 'phew'? i think we read to many archie comics as kids bro. next thing you know, we will be saying belch, arggg, slurp, and grrrr. make sense?
but i am glad you were saved by the bell. enjoy. i hope i see you when i come to india in july. you better not make some bogus biz trip then either.
hehe....yeah man, one too many archie comics...something like "fuck yeah" might have been more appropriate....
Actuall Rohin, nobody wanted to go for some reason or the other...so all those who didn't get selected were quite relieved...
