F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

I am an absolute self-confessed FRIENDS Fan. I wish there was a channel that aired just this 24*7 ! My remote will never be used :o)

I took this supposedly really tough FRIENDS quiz today and scored 8! not bad at all, when it said that the average score till date is 6. Do try it out and let me know that you scored less than me :0)

Heres the link : http://www.allthetests.com/quiz26/quiz/1244148778/Friends-Seasons-questions

And the below video is of my most favorite scene from FRIENDS. I can laugh at this one as many times as i see it.

Fresh @ Work

Everyone is a fresher sometime or the other in his/her career ; I do not clearly remeber my days, Sigh ! they were so long back !! But now in my current tenure i have had some interesting conversations with the freshers who either joined my team or i crossed paths with in some course of work ! Here goes.... Dont laugh ! they are not dumb people. They are the future of my company :)

Fresher( joined only about 2 weeks) : Sir, In the Leave system, It is not showing any data for me, we dont have Sick leaves ?
Me: Is it ? I am not sure, probably they havent updated the system yet for you, check with HR.
Fresher( Some time later in the day): Sir, i checked with them, they say it will be updated only next week.
Me: Great ! so problem solved ? Chill !
Fresher: Sir, What should i do if i have to fall sick on this friday ? Before they update the systems?
Me: I assume you want to take a leave on friday ; And to take a leave you dont have to actually fall sick everytime ok ?

[For the super intelligent people who read this, Sick/Casual leave are not differentiated in our leave policy]

Fresher: Santosh, you are a Manager right?
Me: I guess so ! you want to double check ?
Fresher: No, I just wanted to know what work you do.
Me: Ah ! Now that really makes me think
Fresher: Whenever you are on your seat, you have Outlook Or Excel or Powerpoint open on your laptop, Whenever you are not on your seat you are either talking to someone or on phone conference calls. Is this work ?
Me: Please dont go tell all this to my manager ok ? :-)
Fresher: When do you work?
Me: Oye ! this is my work yaar !
Fresher: Very simple no?

I am still wondering if he was genuinely asking out of curiosity and surprice or was being sarcastic !

I got sick of accepting awards without writing anyting ; So this post is to Thank Jyoti for all the awards given to an undeserving blogger :-)
