SCREWED !!

ITS OFFICIAL !

I challenge ANYONE out there (YES it’s an official CHALLENGE) that they couldn’t have had more bad luck in one day than what I had on Sunday (except for you Roy C. Sullivan – US park ranger from Virginia. Well he has to be the man with the worst “Strike” of bad luck. He was struck by lightning 7 times in his lifetime, excluding the time lightning struck his tombstone. Amen).

Well this is how it started. We had some machines that were to be shifted to the site from the warehouse (Warehouse – 13 ?????) which took a god forsaken 15 hours and then was transported to the site (which took another 2 hours). This is where it ALL began.

We had 11 trucks, each carrying an average of about 9-10 tons of machinery. You do the math. I always slept thru math class (Jalaj… Mangla… Sinha…zzzzzzzzzz…).

I successfully moved 9 trucks and placed the machinery in their respective places. Now comes the dreaded 10th truck. We had lifted a crane (Yes ppl, we actually lifted a 12-ton crane… It was an awesome sight !) with the help of 2 other cranes and placed it inside the site to ease the movement of machines.

While emptying the tenth truck, my fate decides to play mind games and I had to go to my car to get something. (It was as if fate had a hand in it and made me disappear from the scene at that exact moment.) I return to find… CRASH!!! One of the machines (12 tons) is lying sideways on the ground.

YES IT WAS FKIN DROPPED FROM A HEIGHT OF 8 FEET !!!! The bloody crane operators didn’t use proper equipment and the metal rope snapped. AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH.

Now the first question a lotta ppl asked me was “how much was the machine worth?”. Well, lets just say I have to win Amitabh Bachan’s long lost tv show TWICE to cover the cost. GRRRRRRRR…!!! I was literally sufferin from shock (seen ppl “go into shock” on tv shows but this is the first time I bloody felt it). After recovering (which was apparently a surprising hour), I rushed back to office to check up on the machines insurance paperwork and that’s when I got the next call.

They were supposed to lift the 3rd crane off the site and pack for the day. When they were lifting it, they dropped the crane and almost killed 3 people (thankfully no one was hurt). So I had to rush back to site and was relieved to find that there was no major damage. Just as I was about to leave the site, my site engineer came rushing and says one of the load men is injured.

Apparently, one of the four load men tripped and fell on some stacked blue metal. He incurred injuries on one side of his face and had to be admitted in the hospital for 8 stitches and finally came out with no major damage.

Just after this was all about to be over, one of the cranes (on their way out) cracked the platform of the opposite house and the owner started yelling like a Jackass. Trust me I was on the verge of explosion. Informed a local cop and called in a few favors and finally handed over the issue to him to handle.

And to top it all off, CSK lose in the SUPER OVER (which hasn’t happened in this season so far) against one of the teams last on the table. SAAAAAAAADDDDDDD !!!!

Ok people, now tell me. Can anyone out there challenge this? If you can, I will pay you whatever u ask for.

But if u can’t, well my bank account details are ready. Lemme know and I will send it over for the transfer !!

PEACE !!
