Coming back to the adventures of our fearless IT hero, Qwerty, the quintessential IT geek, who has a trick or two up his sleeve in solving a problem.
It was a bright and sunny morning, our fearless hero strolls slowly to the meeting point, where the transport usually picks up him along with his fellow workers to take them to work. On the way, our hero thinks, suddenly he realises, oh my gosh! i forgot to add the code!
HE FORGOT TO ADD THE CODE! HE FORGOT TO ADD THE CODE! HE FORGOT TO ADD THE CODE!!!!
ding!!ding!!ding!!ding!!ding!!ding!!ding!!ding!!ding!! the bells suddenly start clanging away! WHAT did he do, he actually forgot! the deliverable was last night, and he realised that this was a mistake he is going to regret.
cursing his luck , Qwerty runs to the stop. realises its a futile attempt, as the transport would not come a minute before its designated time. he started walking fast to the point. all along the way, he was thingking. what must i do?
What was the code? what is that one thing that Qwerty forgot to add, the perfect programmer who people claim is the best, actually forgot something. Gwash! what is the world coming to with peopel forgetting things. well, the transport finallyshows its ugly head over the bridge, why… he asks himself, “can they not change this ugly transport” sometiems i think to myself, this transport is so vile, that it does not know if its coming or going. This is because of the fact that tht same piece of glass design covers the front as well as theback of the vehicle.
he clambers on, dreading the fact that his project manager would have reached before him, and that he would have realised that Qwerty has not DONE it! a cold sweat breaks out, and his stomach goes into knots. Hi co-worker asks if all is ok, but Qwerty does not answer, thinmking what is the point. this is my last day on the bus anyway!
Painfully, counting the minutes, like the prisioner an hour before his execution, a feeling of helplessness comes over, its like you have fallen into a cold pool, and have no way of getting out, you wonder,… what next? aaaarrrhhhhggggg!!!
YOU’RE FIRED!YOU’RE FIRED!YOU’RE FIRED!YOU’RE FIRED!YOU’RE FIRED!YOU’RE FIRED!YOU’RE FIRED!!!! The words resonate in Qwertys head. Oh, my GOD! today is going to be the very last day. what o i do?
the thoughts are broken with the sharp piercing of the beeper suggesting that they had arrived at their destination. now, his whole back is drenched in sweat, wondering how on earth is he going to get thru this?
slowly, he trdges along, unwillingly, to his desk, left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left, right till he reaches the building. clomping his way up to his floor, he goes to the desk and sits down. turns on the monitor, his face going ashen with every second.
slowly he looks at his inbox…. a moment of silence…………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………. and color first drains….. he sees a mail….. oh my god!
he opens the mail…. wondering what can possibly go wrong……. he blinks… wonders ……………………..is he really reading this? it all looks so surreal…. a smile breaks on the corner of his mouth, slowly spreads across the face…. he stops himself from jumping up.
“QWERTY!” his boss hollers…..” get your behind here….. “
why the hell did you forget to fill your time sheet….. all the time staring at the computer screen… before he has a chance to defend himself, his boss looks up…. “get outa my sight”.
Our hero goes, sits at his desk… and reads the mail again…….
“The ERP system will be down for maintenance tonight, you will find it difficult to fill your time sheets, and hence we request you to fill in your time sheets tomorrow”
Long live!
