That Last Hour Before the Long Weekend…

NB: Written on Thursday Oct. 22, 2015, but posted today.

Thursday evening. It’s 4 p.m. and everyone is winding up work.  People are shutting down laptops and calling out to others waving the byes. It’s the long weekend and everyone, me included, is looking forward to destress and unwind. I’m quite excited about it, as it’ll be a “legal” holiday for me, since I’ve joined this company just two weeks back.

And it’s Zumba day too. After quite a lot of contemplation, I finally enrolled myself for Zumba classes. I have always been passionate about dancing but never actually thought of pursuing it. After much research and viewing umpteen videos, I had made up my mind. The day has at last arrived when I have decided to give Zumba a shot. Work done for the day and awaiting the clock to strike 6 so that I can rush for the class, I steal a glance at the time display on my laptop. There’s still an hour and 30 minutes to kill. The hands on the clock are crawling slower than a tortoise. I’m sure if time and tortoise were to compete in a race, the tortoise would win. Sigh!
