Work scenario at office


I am sure all of you go through this- but- I want to put it down just to feel better somehow...

The day invariably begins with the jobs buzzing in your head-the generation of a priority list, job list, blah blah blah

Then like a train leaving the station u take off (notice its a TRAIN not a AIRPLANE).
Now this is where the struggle begins!!! You so desperately wanna kick start your ur
day- its like you are frantically dumping in piles and piles of charcoal in the fuel to
boost of your engine- but then... y.. y is the train still going like the maharastra
express??-

You have no other choice since everyone is screaming at the back of your
head- HURRY HURRY HURRY- u jackass HURRY!! you stop the dumping of the
charcoal and u get down to another level. Here you struggle to figure out as to y the damn charcoal is hell bent on making life more screwed for you... so u do your bit of
rescearch and you discover- that the damn charcoal is defective. yeaa.. but
that seriously does not stop those barking dogs from barking now, does it??
no!!!!
so you get down a level further- u hunt down the supplier - ask him to replace the charcoal. Now again y should life be simple now??? that supplier has to throw a fuss -he is throwing his tanturm- and giving u a reason which is as ridiculus as - I AM NOT GIVING ANY OTHER CHARCOAL!! phew- what to do now- here u have to evaluate your options
should you ditch the guy hunt for another one- but that would mean that u have to
do the hunting (the dogs are still barking)
Should u reason with him to consider( u tried that already)
should u just go with it- whatever like!!(the dogs are barking even more louder!!)

So fine - the genius that you are- you figure out a way(ya but who cares- get the train running faster)
now u have the charcoal- but u gotta get it back!!
so now theres the other level of work that u have to do- carry the charcoal back.
As expected the journey back is as horrendous as alllll the muphys laws would state
multiple things going wrong , u have to take out your jacket to carry the coal (manually), you have to walk all the way back, you loose your shoes, it starts to rain even HAIL STORMS-etc etcya whatever- through all this u can still hear all the dogs howling away- HURRY HURRRY HURRRY U JACKASS( you could be called something worse now)

so there u finally reach- feet bleading, body swollen, but your soul rejoices- coz
u HAVE DONE IT!! u got that fancy coal. All someone has to do is send it to
the train (engine room). finally someone else- obviously by mistake - decides to help you
out. u heave a sigh of relief!!
u decide to give yourself a break- knowing that everyhting will be better now- someone will deliver the coal & the engines will move faster and those foul sounds will finally stop..... :)

so u have ur cup of tea that u so dearly desserve- and u come back in no less than 15 mins and LO BEHOLD- the delivery boys that still standing there giving the lamest excuses ever!!
Thats when u hear it- THE BARKING TUNRS TO HOWLING, the JACKASS TURNS TO INCOMPETANT ASSHOLE- THE SKIES GO DARK(only over ur head that is) u go red and say- i'l run myself - go myself & do it myself,and your 2nd journey begins. You run like u have never run before, u carry coal like u have never carried before, u focuss all your engeries like you have never done before......... and finally.. there u are-- dumping all the coal in the
fire... and the trains jumpstarts (whatever time that is)Thats when the trainer driver turns to the barking dogs and says i have accompolished so much- only with your help- i am gratefull and the barking dogs now expected to give an applause to the driver- and But still the crowd cries on- then the driver turns around and looks at you looks into your eyes and say any of
the following things:
So what was your learnings??
how can u be so incompetent??
U HAVE A MONTH TO PROOVE YOURSELF!!!
U JACKASS!!!!ASSHOLE!!!!!!INCOMPETENT PAIN IN THE..... so on and so forth...
u are disgrace to me to this organization
dont u know to work effectively/ smartly/ competantly/responsibly (that u
anu)/ etc/ etc (a management lesson ensues)
do u have brains or do u work generally like a jackass??
