Another Monday morning and Cris goes to work.
The same place, same “work” i.e., sitting idle. Again Cris was pretending to be busy. It is an important part of the work culture of grazing corporation; one can’t just not look busy. There are so many things to keep you busy, chat with people, write stories etc.
Wake up early in the morning come to the office, sit, go for lunch, sit again and then go back in the evening. Sometimes do some work at the rate 1-2 busy hours/ per month. Is this life, is it all? Can’t it be any different? Today I’ll make it a little different, thought Cris.
He walked up directly to the HR and asked
Have you ever visited a psychiatrist?
Why?
No, was just wondering. Why you keep picking up wrong lot to do wrong jobs?
You choose the tigers to guard the sheep and sheep to keep a watch on the grass and not graze. You have so many buffaloes in your company, who pass off as sheep. Oh Yeah! They must have been sheep when they came and must have turned into buffaloes now…. yeah! I understand “the work” “the stress”
Then Cris walked to the team lead and started to speak
Sir, what did you study?
Why?
No because you behave as if you have done PhD in grazing, guarding, cutting, designing, managing and everything else in the world. I sometimes wonder if god has been reborn in your form.
Did anyone call you Jesus, Allah or Ram when you were a kid?
And Sir I have another doubt. Did you have a troubled childhood?
No…Of course not, he mumbled.
Then why do behave like a sadist, any problem???
I think you and the HR should visit this psychiatrist (giving a visiting card). And please do not consult the Company’s doctor. It doesn’t seem to be working…
Cris wasn’t satisfied yet.
He went out to the centre of the office and shouted “you are idiots!!!”
No one seemed to notice….
He went back to his laptop and pinged people on Gtalk “ YOU ARE DUMB IDIOTS….”
Every one turned towards Cris and stared at him….
Here you go……..
Cris Cris, what are you thinking…….
He felt someone jolting him.
Oh !!! Nooooooooo……..only a day dream!!!!
