'Switch'ing to Familiarity !

My Company has recruited heavily and it is difficult to classify a person as newly joined / courier delivery guy / caterer.

Yes, they change caterers rapidly;Testimony to the democratic environment in our office.
-We always complain.
-The food committee always takes prompt action.
-Food still qualifies for 'Fear Factor'
Can it get more democratic?

There are long mails about ‘New Joinees’ but I prefer not reading them , they raise my expectations.After you actually meet them, I cant help saying ,”Oh, that is you????”.

Familiarity doesn’t come fast unless you have Big SwitchBoards in office.

First day at office and 'someone' was a familiar face among the top executives in the company.

It was Raju’s (fictitious friend) first day. His ‘new joinee’ enthusiasm prevented him from leaving earlier than his cubicle neighbours. Little did he know that, his lack of acquaintance with the “Circuit Board Diagram” of the wing he belonged to would give him instant fame.

He found 10 mini-switchboards with 50 buttons each with some codes written below each board. Any unlucky man would adopt the ‘Ad Hoc’ approach and so he did.

A minute later, a top executive meeting was disrupted.

All of them were looking at 'me'.(Didnt look pleased;Perhaps it was a wrong time to say 'Hey')

Havent you heard of the famous saying...
‘An Unlucky man would also be standing next to the glass meeting room.’
-Anonymous , and very true.

Oh,It wasnt ME!!!
