Out of office mail

It's very clearly my real life frustration coming out but what's a better way to vent than a post :)
Very short and sweet for a change :)

Read through...

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your desperate mail, phone calls and SMS. Sorry I can’t mail, speak or SMS back to you today. Don’t try knocking my door as well, I am not in my room.

I am away on duty today. No, I don’t have any client meetings or travel… I will be busy doing settlement of my last trip. This was week before last and after sending 3 reminders they have threatened to cut my salary – it’s quarter end and if I don’t settle my trip, the results would be off by 0.000037% which of course is not acceptable.
It’s a different matter that after the much sought after trip, I have been again traveling all the time… I pointed this out to the juniormost clerk of this company and he had gracefully extended the deadline by a day which happens to be today.

Naveen, sorry, I cant review the Rs 250cr proposal that we are working on and Sanjay, I cant take that escalation call from the client. Radha, your CRR can wait. Prashant, you can forget about the 360-degree feedback – I know today is the last date but juniormost clerk’s command is more important than your career.

Ps – I am actually in the office but I have locked the door from inside and unhooked the phone so that I can “settle in peace”

Happy Christmas!!

Best regards,
Uday Bhaskarwar
