Tripping: Looking for my voice

I lost my voice to a bad case of viral infection and have been looking for it since sunday. It started with a bad headache on Thursday. By nightfall, I had high fever. I couldn't sleep the whole night. Next morning and afternoon were the same. My weekend sucked badly. Thank god, saturday was off for me this week or i did have to take my day off.

My new found voice( or lack thereof) has given me lot of names. Ivan the Terrible calls me Golum (LOTR) now, but I prefer to call myself Don Corleone. Hager the Horrible, on the otherhand, is very happy, cause I cannot argue with him now about the sales tracker and sales forecast. Truth is I'm supposed to make my team members achieve their targets, whereas I myself has been unable to achieve it- which is-I've been after him these past one week for the sales forecast figures without any success, whatsoever!

Coming back to my current situation- I'm taking steroids that I'm allowed to take. There is no fever and I feel very strong but am still looking for my voice. I pray that there are no important meeting with clients this week.

Tripping: The Anthem

Aurora's anthem:

Smoke Baby by Hawksley Workman

Smoke baby, smoke baby
More alcohol baby
Cocaine in Montreal
And black out on the plane baby
An early flight will leave
And on it will be me, yeah
I'll be half asleep
And you'll get up at three

And I've never felt
Quite this close to hell
All this rock n roll, baby
Ony time will tell
But we're young now, having fun now
On the town now, get around now
It's fine for now
But someday we'll settle down
But not now baby
Smoke baby....

Tripping: Two guys, a girl and a revolving restaurant (under construction)

Date: 3/02/09, Place: Fortune Tower, Jumeirah Lakes
On camera: Ivan The Terrible & Hagar The Horrible
With camera: Ms. Lenticulars

On their quest for the daily dose of LSD, the day Trippers stumbled upon this unknown place- a revolving restaurant on the 33rd floor. The restaurant is under construction; only the basic framework has been laid (wheels can be seen in the photo). The view is magnificent from the top- almost all the landmarks of Dubai are visible.

It was a great find- there were no one at the site. It was a fantastic place for day tripping!
