WTF moment- Extra Special

Technical Person,

Congragulations!! I have just come to know from Silverback that you have quit our lovely organization and have decided to move onto another lovely organization. Which is wonderful. The “other lovely” organization is really brilliant and is quite differentiated. In fact the CEO of the “other lovely” organization quit our organization and joined their organization some six months back. So quite differentiated indeed. Though I think differentiated is not the word I need right now. Btw! I realize you have quit, changed your cellphone number, switched off your previous cell and moved to a different city all to avoid what you describe as this “total lack of concern for my personal life”, but I was wondering? Would it be possible for you to join a solution presentation call for a customer from 11.00 p.m. your time to 2.00 a.m. your time on Wednesday? Just asking. Do confirm.

Regards,

Silver Haired Baboon

A gentleman’s agreement

Hey Bollywood! If you are going to rip off a Hollywood movie, how about you try “A gentleman’s agreement”.  It’s got everything you want a moral dilemma, a love interest, a best friend whose honor needs protection, a mother angle, a vamp with a heart, office politics. Of course you can’t have the lovely Gregory Peck, but do try and rip off this movie please.

Inherit the Wind

Two angry men. One cynic. One idea. And a two hour riveting drama that has you spellbound.

WTF Moment of the Day

[White haired sales baboon]: The customers are really worried about risk you know

[Me]: Ahmmm….

[White haired sales baboon]: Yes! They want to know what will happen if the Taliban get hold of the nuclear weapons. Will it affect their business

[Me]:  If the Taliban get hold of the nukes I think that would be the least of their worries

[White haired sales baboon]: Be that as it may, can you summarize the consequences in one slide

[Me]: The consequences of?

[White haired sales baboon]: The taliban getting hold of the nuclear weapons.

Well here’s the slide.

I am sure BCP will kick in very nicely indeed

Watchmen: The movies

Not so good. The book is like a tapestry. There are so many individual threads that make up the story of the watchmen. The thread with the sailor. The thread with the boy reading the sailor comic. The thread with the psychologist. The thread with the original Nite Owl. All of them make the Watchmen comic. The book is more than the sum of its parts, yet what you remember of the book are its parts, which hold your attention long enough, and have you panting for more even after you have turned the last page and put the book back onto the shelf. The movie is bland. It moves forward linearly, which is asinine at least for an adaptation of the watchmen. Overall a 2 out of 5.
