“You know what?”
“Tell me”
“I’m getting bored to the peak yaar… Nothing to do in office… Got madder these days”
“Well yeah, people who love their work will feel so”
“It’s the same for 9th month in a row”
“Jokes apart, I can understand the feeling”
“Had I done something else then, I’d have become a proud father now”
“Yeah, you are now a father of boredom”
“Wow… nice title”
“Yeah you can start writing a book now with that title”.
I thanked the company for a while. They have done a lot of good things besides my salary for no work being done. G-talk helped a lot, especially when you sit idle and there are no new stories when you refresh the newspaper pages.
Not that I haven’t done anything in all these months. But nothing I did added any value to the company, considering the amount they pay me.
The trainers taught us very well to enable us to execute the project-to-be-started-next-day with ease. And it’s been 8 months waiting for the-next-day-that-never-comes.
“Shall we have the risk capturing meeting now?”
“Yes, but what about the project?”
“Who knows, it may or may not come, but we need to capture all the risks so that it doesn’t stop the project mid-way.”
“Yeah, but we don’t have any risks specific to the project, other than that if the project doesn’t come we may lose our jobs”.
The discussion goes on and on…
Hope I get a break before fathering my next kid…
