Extrovert - For the Love of the game




















I thank my company for making me loose all my integrity….and do this (for sure it was fun)

Yesterday at work we wanted to play table tennis. There is a TT board in our office and hence we went to the admin dept to ask for a TT ball. The guy sitting there acted funny and said there are no TT balls. WTF, I kind of knew the way he said it, meant that he was not interested giving the ball to us.

I was dis-appointed. So was everybody else. It was 11 in the night, however we wanted to play TT, so I took everybody in my car, we went hunting for TT balls in the middle of the night… it was real fun… trust me it was. We stopped for tea and were roaming around the entire town, and everybody was looking at us like real crazy fools.

Finally we found a shop, it was closed, I went and asked him for a TT ball, he said he has got TT balls, however he couldn’t give it to us because the shop was closed. We kind of begged him to open the shutter and offered that we would buy an entire pack. Well he did!!!

We got the balls, and came back to office and played some nice TT!!!

Keep in mind the fact that we are jobless here at work, and everybody here is desperate to finish our notice period and go and join the respective jobs we have found for ourselves!!!

Oh man…what has this company done to me??? Where is my integrity??? Where is me, the workaholic??? I can’t imagine me doing this in GE or DELL!!! Seriously, waiting to get out of this rotten place and go to a place where I could work… learn… and do stuff… most of all THINK!

Anyways, another 3 more days to go… I have already given my resignation (well, they forced me in to it!!!)

However I wanted to give a resignation letter like this…

Dear Unpardonable Vinod
As per the piece of crap I signed on my first day of this dreaded job, I hereby give 2 minutes notice of my intention to leave this awful company.
I want to thank you for all you have not done for me in my employment here. It has been sheer torture working for you and representing this crappy company.
It is now time for me to move on and I have accepted a position as a garbage person. This decision was quite easy and took little consideration. However, I am confident that this new role represents a step up from this piece of crap job.

I wish the company would go to pieces and hope one day you too will realize that you cannot manage your way out of a paper bag.

Glad to be gone,

Jay Rulz – Yeah baby, Big Freaking Time!

Well anyways, we are for sure having fun serving notice period!! Again… hoping to go to a place where we could work… learn… and do stuff… most of all THINK!
