I was at home that Saturday, seriously working on the project my boss assigned me just earlier that day. Like every weekend, I had huge plans for that Saturday too – binge-watch some random videos on Netflix and then spend some quality time with myself later – by watching some porn. But the day didn’t start the way I was hoping. I woke up to my boss’s phone call and learnt that he was being re-assigned to a different city and someone else would come up in his place from the following Monday. He had a lot of pending work to complete and he wanted me to finish it in 48 hours. Having no other alternative, I agreed to do the infeasible job.
I worked for several hours at a stretch. I was being very productive, when I started hearing noises from the next door. Initially I ignored it, but the sounds continued for long. I was first off, very tired because of working without a break. Added to that, I hadn’t eaten anything. And those clamors got on my nerves. I lost my cool, and angrily barged into the neighboring house, with all the obscene words fully loaded in my mouth.
