Friday after-lunch hours are really awful.You don't feel like doing any work but you cant leave the office .Staring at the desktop , checking mails , chatting in sametime , counting seconds are few activities I like to pass the dreadful after-lunch hours .But last friday I couldn't take it any longer after 4.30.So I went straight to my boss who was staring at the desktop , checking mail , chatting in sametime (may b counting seconds also)...and asked permission to leave early.One good thing was - she never asked me the reason .Never even in earlier instances when I had to leave early - assumed that I had been late for a date, and I like it. Not because she counts me worth enough to be a punctual boyfriend but because I was spared to make petty excuses like headache or feeling pukey.And those were few rare moments when I found her 'Understanding' and 'Not-That-Idiot'.
So she said - Jacob , I don't mind if you leave early today, for whatever reason, but we neeed to deliver 008B by next Thursday , looking at the current status do you feel like we would be able to meet the deadline ? How I hated that 008B study, more disgusting than even my pretty boss. I wish that study would never get FDA approval. But she didn't wait for my answer.She asked me to come in the weekends. Spoiling the weekend for leaving 1 hour early on friday - that irritated me to no end. I would have killed that dumb idiot. I said in that case I had no issues to stay back till 6.15 but the damage was already being made. She was in no mood to change her mind.
So next saturday I was in the office - at around 1.30 in the afternoon. And by God's grace there was no network connection. But I was angry rather being happy. My pretty boss got the news in the morning itself but she never felt the need to inform me. How I wished to go over her place , pull her by her curly hair and tie her to a lamppost under the sun - to let her feel the pain it takes to come to office in a blistering steamy day.
Nothing to do, so we had some fun. As Pankaj rightly said , we all had come to 'Maje lene' . Pankaj listened to 'DIL SE' from my iPod , was very amazed when heard it cost 15.2 k, but I was happy when that 'dilwale' offered me a drop. So I was back to home in next 1 hour and my weekend office-crush was over - but not before cursing my dumb boss till I lost words.
