I'm back! I'm back! I'm back! So you have been missing me huh? Good. At least someone did :-) This one is part 3 of the bitching series - the Story of the Scheming Siren!
So you know that she has been promoted - thank you very much dear company (read manager) for being fair and impartial. Henceforth called Peter (cause of Peter's principle) Pappu (for being a puppet).
Since the magical mystical moment materialized, the siren has been trying to be very social. I am told that she has been asked to work on her inter-personal-skills and also her social graces!!! Horror of horrors! Oh the people who asked her to do this also asked me to report back!! Talk about divide and conquer. Peter Pappu is getting powerful :-)
So lemme in this post describe a typical day with siren. Sulky for obvious reasons has been sulking and was completely ignoring the whole big deal about the promotion and how it was the most deserved thing and blah blah blah. I would reach office and I would get "checked out" not a very pleasing and complimentary thing might I add. If you've been following the posts or know the truth you would recall that I am something like a style guru for scheming siren. Comments like - you know your hair is looking very dull today, you haven't worn lenses for a long time, these keds look so worn ... this is how I am complimented on the way I would look on other days. So if I am told you are not looking nice today means that I was looking nice previously ....huh? u capish?
So far so good aage chalo (let's move on - xlation for Sri!) then comes the time when the tactics change - I am AGAIN grilled on all that she sees and well what she doesn't is thankfully spared!!! So not funny!!! Anyways the all female teams end up like kitchen politics in Balaji (wonder why Ekta hasn't started calling her setup Kalaji? Heh heh heh ...)
Siren has now taken upon herself to do a complete social thing by complimenting anything and EVERYTHING! Since her move up the food chain she is supposed to train the newbie minion (who might I inform you has fantastic atttitude!), obviously she screws up. Asked him who has the attention span of an amoeba on acid to read 42 procedures!!! Hello?! As a technical writer you are responsible for creating learning/training material for unknown organisms sitting someone on terra firma and here you are goofing up on a LIVING BREATHING IDIOT???
Amoeba on acid is let lose on the ClearCase VOB!! He happily checks out stuff and writes comments like "First", "Second", "Third"... you catch the drift. The ClearCase admin is obviously not amused by this obnoxious turn of events! It's sacrilege!!! Then siren passes the buck to another person who so far has been nice to her but hah not for too long :-)
I am recalled into training Amoeba who doesn't quite realize what's hit him! Siren sits through the training and then sends an email complimenting the training and how she also benefited. Yeah! Right :-) YUCKKKYYYY!!!!
Another time she decided to pat someone on the back by saying "keep it up!" choke gasp splutter!!! She is still on this trip of whatever good happened I did that and whatever didn't I didn't!!!!
When on earth will I be able to chuck this place and walk out?!!!
