Celebrating Idiocy 1(just to keep a count if possible..)

This was the incident which inspired me to send the mail to my friends who all in turn asked me to star a blog.

Here I go:

April 17 2009 is the day.I was supposed to attend an interview for internal project allocation process.(In our industry once u complete a project or you goof it up you will be released from the project. Once you are released you'll be in the company almost jobless.To get into another project i,e to get a job again you need to clear few rounds of interviews).Interviewer was in one office and I was in another.So eventually I was suppose to travel to show it up there.

I being I never check my official mails in proper intervals. So I saw this mail of interview at 9 30am.I read I need to meet one lady at 11:30am in phase 1 building , 4th floor , seat number 255. I asked the reception in my office building about the next shuttle to the place where I had interview.She said "Ma'am at 11:45 am there is a shuttle".I was like "Shit!!".If I have checked my mails properly the day before then I could have directly gone to that office.Anyways I dont believe in thinking of the past and wasting the present and hindering my future.So I decided I'll get an auto from this office(office A) to that office(office B) at 10 am(why on earth should i reach there early?This is my attitude for everything!!!).

I got an auto at around 10:10am(time is precious.I'm enough rich so gave 10 mins away).Without any trouble than the usual Bangalore traffic I reached office B at about 10:45 or so.I had some other work there so thought of doing it(Work was meeting some people and sort of things).At 11:25 am I realised "Arey!!! I came here for an interview right!!!".Suddenly,"oh!!!!Its 11:25 interview at 11:30.Dumbo.. run!!!".

Guys remember the address???Phase 1, 4th floor ,255 seat.I being in the company for more than an year know where is Phase 1.I entered the lift and believe me I was quiet good at numbers and I’m still . Hence I know 4=4.so pressed 4.I reached 4th floor. Now the problem appeared…Seat 255!!!!! Where is it? Obviously on 4th floor I know but in which direction??? Pity me!!! I have only seconds before 11:30am.My interviewer might be a time bound person(for my good stars she wasn’t. I waited for nearly 10 mins after all the drama).How would I know if she’ll send me back for the reason I was late. No She can say I’m technically crap!!!Never mind!!! But this is hard to digest for me(I know what u all will be saying…”As if…” right??? ).So as soon as I entered the floor I didn’t waste my time I rushed to the small enclosure( cann’t call it a room.I don’t think there was a door because I didn’t knock it.(Please I have the bad habit of knocking things that come in my way.So I do knock doors even)).I went straight into it. I said ”Excuse me..”!!3 heads turned

1.COO(co-founder)
2.My Business Stream Vice president(co-founder)
3.A nice person who finally helped me(sorry dono the name so will call it as Anonymous head).

I stood there thinking if I should ask.Said “Actually…………………………” COO was expecting something big.His eyes wide opened.His mouth open even wider.VC he was shocked at once .The anonymous head was like what went wrong in the organization the girl is here. I was still thinking,but as usual I act hours before I finish thinking,I said “I’m sorry for this but………”.This created more tension on their faces. Then I asked “May I know Where does seat number 255 fall on this floor!!” .

The anonymous head was like what’s the matter with this girl???She only found COO and VC of the organization to know about its building’s geography.VC was yet to take what I said.He looked highly confused and regaining his senses.COO is quiet fast in this.He couldn’t control his Laughter.(His smile is no doubt million dollar worth!At least at that tensed moment I felt so.)

I quickly added ”I’m sorry !!It was bit urgent and I didn’t know whom to…….”(I guess by the time I finished thinking. Hence was trying to cover up.)COO and VC said together ”No no… no issues.. no problem”. Anonymous head came running out to help me. Asked ”Whom u want to meet?” pushing me out of the room. Then I dono what happened inside. This good man(the man who actually owns the anonymous head) guided me to the cubicle. Seems Like this head has a name for sure which many knows in my company very well but not me. He’s also a big shot for sure.

Later I learnt from my friends that there was a board above the doors written clearly the name of the COO and VC.I didnt see the doors only how on earth will i know about the board

Now I’m at office A .where the CEO, the Chairman and other founders are located.God save me(or is it save them.)

Still I'm celebrating my Idiocy!

Introduction

Hi,

I never thought of blogging though I used to read a lot.Something happened which made me think of blogging seriously is what written below.


I am person who celebrates everything in life from happiness to sorrows,cleverness to idiocy, prosperity to poverty and so on almost everything.


I believe living through such situations are worth celebrating.So when it comes for celebration the first thing that comes to my mind(I think it comes to everybody)is FRIENDS. I make friends with those people who are almost like me i,e ready for celebrations any time be it anywhere in school,college or now at work place.I am very choosy about friends coz i dont want to bug my head coz of my bad choice of friends.


Idiocy and foolishness are part and parcel of my life.I know its for most of us the same way. Some of us hide it but some(Like me) exhibit it to others lavishly.I belive in exhibiting coz as the saying says"Learn from others mistakes cos life is not that long enough to commit all mistakes by ourselves and learn from them".Hence I am doing a sort of social service(shabhaash......... to myself).


Recently at my office i did something that was listed under the heading "IDIOCY" so as I am located in a different building from that of my friends I sent a mail to all of them to celebrate (and help them learn from my mistakes) it. Few of them liked the mail so much that they asked me to start a blog.


Hence here I am to celebrate My Life on blog. Please Welcome me.
