Talked too soon...
I have been telling myself that I was pretty lucky I had not been called back to work in the middle of the night for the past two months. June was very bad and I was wondering if I was a vampire as I was spending more of my waking hours in the night than in the day.
Talked too soon. This morning around 1 a.m., after I have just turned off the PC, the boss called. Some stupid data line needs to be fixed. I looked at the sky, it doesn't look too friendly, it was an angry sort of reddish grey colour. Earlier in the evening, I was drenched in the rain on my way back.
I dragged myself downstairs, got a cab whose driver looked at me very suspiciously, reached the office and did my stuff. Calling some people here and there, and doing some technical tests, I had no one but shadows for companions. Lucky the Seventh Month was over.
Finally, I reached home at around 4 a.m. and congratulated myself for a speedy job in restoring that line. There were times that when it was done, it was time to visit the kopitiam for breakfast.
No, I am not going to talk about it again.

I had such a vivid image of you going out to work under that red sky. The loneliness of it. The inevitability. Nice writing.
DP, I wish I can talk about winning the lottery. I always dream about winning it, hehehe!!
