2017 was a horrible year for me.\u00a0The year opened with a bang when somebody’s car rear-ended me on the last few days of 2016. 9 months later, another driver repeated the same feat.\u00a0 Luckily, no one was injured.<\/p>\n

A relative had a health scare. Turns out consuming more high blood pressure pills does not make you get well. Thereafter suffered a series of strokes, requiring multiple hospital stays and constant care.<\/p>\n
The family is good, children moving on to the next higher level in education. The wife, after some 14 years moved on another job.<\/p>\n
Personally, I had a health scare, when my right fingers became stiffed and painful to move. Initially, I thought I am getting arthritis but a friend said it could be due to over exercise. I stopped trying to do pull-ups and now, all better.<\/p>\n
My OnePlus One phone died after 2 and half years of faithful service. The digitizer cracked, even though the display is working fine. I have the parts, I should try to repair it. In its replacement, I had to resort an urgent purchase of the OnePlus 3T. So far it has been great!<\/p>\n
Work it has been bad. I have included a wrong addressee in an email with the customer in the circulation list. The customer made a big fuss. In my opinion, highly over-dramatic. I think I became the Patsy in the customer’s internal politics. As a result, my performance appraisal suffered. Badly.<\/p>\n
Lastly, I made a wrong call to delegate a cable repair session to attend a meeting. That repair after 4 months is still in progress.<\/p>\n
