In the Mad House we have a trend of artificial emergencies which are created when the boss leaves and returns from a trip. Before he leaves we count each and evey minute and second for the time to rejoice. And after his return each minute and second rejoice on the clock as time never pass.
Earlier we use to thank god because when he use to leave that meant no panic phone calls but with the growth of technology he thanks god because where ever he goes it follows. On a trip there are certain days where world comes to an end, for that Miss R. is informed before hand and she gathers everyone, clearly calculatng the time zones well, we all stand in a cue, and all get their fair share and this time its only one side talking your answers have to be a minimal words. Also each every person is asked to keep a check on the person standing next to them. So part of your work includes that you make sure others complete their task. When I was asked to make certain calls, my seniors were asked to make calls to me. No matter wether the trip was national or international , every call use to end with an overall organisation assesment on return.
We never knew how it was possible but boss use to fly over traffic and reach office before given time. Then started a long day, no matter it was a saturday or sunday, 9 am or 5pm, we all use to be ready. But worst was no matter what preperations you do, you will always be asked what you are not prepared with. And then no point arguing you had to feel as a failure, as if you knew everything but you couldnt answer. In time we realized its better to fail because only one can win.
The return use to be grand as if labour pains started, everyone dressed but stressed. Often outside one chamber was a long cue of waiting people waiting for their names to be called. We avoided individual confrontations and often went in company.
I can still feel the tremors, can I stop getting goosebumps when I hear that ringtone.
