Raveena Tan Done

The title of the post just shows you how I was haunted by the conjugated word "to do" in different situations this week.

Starting as of last Saturday - my dear car - whom I have called my friend in many tags here - died - can you believe it - a day before Friendship Day. I took it to few mechanics and all they said was nothing can be DONE. (so listen to this song - its me singing to my dear car - we DID spend some real good times together ;))
So come Monday - I had to rent a car for the week. It had to be DONE in order to be mobile.
To add to the woes - this week my boss is on his annual summer vacation - being a small company - I am handling the daily rituals - and there was a long list of things to DO in my inbox.
As such weeks go - everyone has an emergency when you are alone - Murphy fucking knows when to DO YOU - I dont like to talk about work on the blog but this is to share how I amused myself this week in dire straits.
Tuesday get a frantic call from a site from a contractor - JEW HAB TO COM TO DA SITEEE IBBEDIATELY - he is spanish and thats how his english sounds...so after a little back and forth - he says - THE BUILDIN HIS GHOWING TO PHALL DOWN.... - so irritated at this point with everything and that he had not read the drawings correctly - I simply told him - DO one thing Jose (pronounced HOSEE - in spanish J sounds like H) - simply get out of the building before it falls down. (had to take care of the issues later nonetheless)
Then I am designing a house for a chinese client - the entire family is short and thin so their perspective is everything has to be small. An excerpt from one of the talks that really DID happen - on Wednesday

Mrs. Hui - I think these bedrooms that you want are very small
Is it so?
Yes from my experience - some bathrooms that I design are bigger than these bedrooms.
She got a bit taken aback. But Shin Taaan we no gonna spenda timea in ze bedroom long...you DO understand
Ok - but someday you will eventually sell this house - and then the buyer will not like these sizes.
Noooooo - (the usual long no - just like Rusell Peters mentions in his videos describing a chinese nooooo) - thisa bedroom is phor my lill daufter.
Ok so when she grows old wont she find this room small...
Again Nooooooooo - we mighta move of out by then
(what the fuck DID I just tell her two sentences ago)
So thats how it went - had too many calls from people asking "CAN YOU DO THIS FOR ME URGENTLY?" or "SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO" or "DID YOU DO IT YET?"
In between all this fun - remember I told you my car was gone - so Monday thru Thursday all evening I spent at the car dealership - test driving.
In one such incident - I took my cousin with me - he was testing this car and driving and braking and simply enjoying on a road and swerving in traffic - and all I had to tell the sales person sitting in the car - to get a kodak amazement moment was - DO YOU REALIZE THAT THIS GUY DOES NOT HAVE A LICENSE ( he is supposed to make a copy of the license before we test drive - but being new he forgot to make a copy of my cousins license - too bad I remembered that) Wish, I really wish I had a camera mounted in the car somewhere to capture his face.

Well anyways - enough crap - TGIF - have a nice weekend - I relished it and now I am almost done with this week. Will take care of the rest of the client crap and then enjoy my new car for the weekend.

IT HAS TO BE DONE RIGHT!
