On a Lighter Note

I hope someone will say "I missed your blog, man!" or is it that I have to dream yet again.
The following is an incident in my life which is pretty amuzing if not hilarious. In my office there is a bunker which has about 4 beds so that people who do not feel well can take a small rest during office hours and then get back to work. I rarely have been to the bunker and the first time I went there just to see how it was and what it was like to sleep there which after more than a year and a half since joining the company. It is a pretty serene atmosphere with the heavy music from the Gym sounding as though you are in a rock concert.
Anyways, let me get back to the story. A few weeks back I was coming down with a cold and was developing a strong headache. So I decided to avail the facilities of the bunker to get some rest before I apparently break my head over some coding. When I reached the bunker, I found it to be empty. I tucked myself into one of the beds and somehow managed to just fall asleep despite the music when the door banged open, literally. Startled, I got up only to find no one at the door. I got up and closed the door and got back to bed when the door was forcefully opened once more but this time a man entered but as he got into another bed he did not close the door properly and the light hit my eyes. So I got up once more to close the door properly. After some time I somehow managed to fall asleep when I heard him snoring. Man, back to square one. But I was so tired I could somehow isolate myself from the sounds and get back to sleep. Just then the door opened once more and another man entered. Luckily for me he closed the door and he got into the bed above me (it was the double bunker bed as in army camps). Anyways, he too finally managed to settle down and I was about to get back to sleep when this person got a call on his mobile. Now comes the funny part. On the phone, he says to the caller that he is in an important meeting and cuts it off. I did not know whether to laugh at this comment or frown at the continued disturbances. Ten minutes later he gets another call. By now my patience had withered and it was about an hour since I came to the bunker. So I decided to return with not having slept a wink.
At that time I felt miserable but when I narrated it to my friend the other day it sounded pretty hilarious to me and I thought among the crap I have been posting this might be one where in all would enjoy.
