Groan again. But this time not from pleasure.

Had a major tooth extraction session today. One particular molar had decided that this was a particularly good day to die, and quietly self-destructed. So I trotted off to our family dentist, who assured me that it was a small job, and that she would have the thing out in 10-15 minutes.

Famous last words.

More than an hour later, I heard her whispering to her associate to ask other patients waiting outside to disappear (or something to that effect) since this operation was going to take some more time.

IAC, about 90 minutes into the 15 minute operation, she pronounced the job done. Whew!

I should have warned her. Several dentists before her have fallen into my “tooth has extra root, hangs on for dear life” trap in the past.

Bottomline – I got late to office, missed the RedHat Advanced Server launch party in Bangalore (Vaibhav and Sony went, and came back slightly less than impressed).

Lunch was mush, as was to be expected. Curd-rice in one dabba, curd-rice in yet another dabba and (hallelujah!) Aam-ras (mango pulp) in the third one!

Watched Shanu do some magic in office – stuff that is mission-critical to us right now.Spent the rest of the day coasting along on painkillers and antibiotics.

Had a yackety-chat with a girl I know, trying to wrangle a lunch-invitation to sample her well-talked of cooking, but her jealous blockhead BF seems to have a firewall up and running around her. Bah! Hey, I am just trying to get some food!

Spent some time redoing my site here. Hopefully, people will like it. Bouquets/brickbats here .
