Jeepers creepers - its a weekend !

Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation, of being cut off, disconnected from, and alienated towards other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any form of meaningful human contact - A nicely worded description of my current frame of mind.

It is the time of the year where theres a lot of travelling, scheming and *gasp* Brochures and *bigger gasp* yearly technical literature renewals - which - take it from me - is the most boring, thankless, glorified secretarial job (very essential nonetheless) that one gets dumped with - others - senior colleagues, so called 'commercial men' (as if iam a bloody PhD in the science of all the numerous products that we peddle) pass on the responsibility to bakras with science degrees like myself.

I am buying this later today - because ive read a lot about this philosophy and ive already made it the 'theme of the year' of the shanghai/Latin america/ Pharma brochures for this year.

I would LOVE to see 'The Dark Knight' tonight or tomorrow - But iam not calling C or N - ones newly married and the other lost his job , is still looking for one, consequently is a nervous, volatile, depressed wreck. I'l watch the goddamn movie - il take the old uncle who lives next door if it comes down to that !

S - a friend from work and another S - a friend from college are apparently going to the US this week for 1/2 yr MBAs - and one of them actually is having a party in Bangalore for which hes been inviting me - but i dont have the energy to make the trip.

I personally cannot imagine why the first S (from work) wants to leave for studies (Hes joining some weird small college for a 1 year diploma in some business studies) - hes like a bit older - he already has an MBA degree from a local college - i dunno maybe he wanted to switch jobs and he isnt really pressed for the money!

I think today highlights a classic problem im facing with my work - i seriously lack & miss the interaction with peers of a similar age group, skill set levels - i miss out on the social aspects, the fun aspect and im sure, as some shrink will say, my psyche will retain permanent effects of having spent my early years of working life in such environments.

*Sigh* Have a nice weekend, world!
