The Boss Swap


"I hate my boss" it’s like a universal fact isn’t it.
It's like someone saying that the earth is round or the sun rises from the east.

I know nobody who likes his boss; why go far I don’t think even my boss likes his boss.

Although, my hatred for my boss took a dramatic change this Thursday.

Now I have 2 close friends in my office, one of them is in my department, I secretly call him "2X" because of the speed of his speech, now since 2X is in my department he is under the same boss as I am and the other friend, "The Robot" that guy feels nothing, no hunger, no cold, no heat.

"Robot" is in another department under another boss.

Now, this Thursday Me, 2X and Robot had got the tickets for the movie "Chandni Chowk to China" which was supposed to start at 6 in the evening, a comfortable time for all 3 of us since the office gets over by 4.

Everything on that day was just like any other day,
- My Boss was disappointed at me.
- I cared a damn.
- And 2X was at his maximum speed about everything.

Now my boss had left early from the office that day, so at 3:30 M5 came into my office.
(M5 is Robot’s boss, name explained later)

Now M5 comes and asks me to prepare and exhaustive report about the company sales over the past 6 months.

“There goes my movie” I thought to myself.
I asked Robot and 2X to proceed, hoping that I would be done by 6 and would meet them directly at the theatre.

But M5 had different plans, he made me sit till 7:30 in the office, making me change the excel file again and again.
And finally at 7:30 he released me saying
“Rehne do, mai khud hi karlunga”
He must have really done something very good in his previous life, or else I would have had a Gun in my hand.

And that how I decided to name him M5
Made Me Miss My Movie”.

Anyways, Robot and 2X saw the movie and gave the review that that it was totally crap

“Totally Crap??? Try M5, you’ll know what’s totally crap” I thought.

So ever since Thursday I have this new found respect for my boss and I thanked God that M5 wasn’t my boss, I feel sorry for Robot though.

So, the whole experience wasn’t bad at all, it made me realize that you boss may not be good but he is not the worst, so be thankful and I didn’t have to watch CC2C.
Life is not bad and I hope Robot gets a new boss.
