Bleat of the professionals!

This write, is a conversation between Anoop and his client on the mornig of 13th Oct 2004.
It was another of those days when you get up and realise what you job is and how much you hate it.
You manage to drag yourself to the bathroom and find there is no power,shower in bone-chilling water.
Hopefully I'll make it on time for the con-call with my god damn client in irwin-California, he never sleeps and never lets poor Anoop.."late" here means NO BREAKFAST.. forget half of what to say in the meeting and a grumpy FAT boss ......as ususal.

Managed to get to office, bang time for the call.
To begin with, the usual
"Hi, Mike how are you ......"
"I'm fine, how are you Anoop..."
I'm fine too ..."..blah blah blah....bllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah .....alrgth lets start.

Anoop:"Mike, regarding the mail you send me yesterday, the development server did not throw any erroneous messages even when the builder was open, even IIS services were switched off. Could you please look in to the log files created during the run......................

brrrr crrrrr meeeeeee tweeeeee twong twong......twooooooooooooooong..

hello ,hello mike you there... mike .. hello....

mike:ya hi
Anoop:what happened.
Anoop:something went wrong suddenly , i could not hear you
mike:nothing is wrong we were talking and still talking
anoop:ok, must be the lines
mike:i hope you still there
anoop:yes i m here
mike:when did u get there
anoop:i came a while ago
mike:why did u come
Anoop:what ?
mike:is sabbir there
anoop:who sabbir?
mike:who are you
anoop:is that you mike
mike:this is "bakersfield" right? (latter i found out it was some god damn store in the white ass land)
anoop:what...this is Anoop and sir you manged to call India.and this is no hmm whatever....!!!
mike(now on xyz):India!!!??? .. oh my god.. ...........
xyz:but i love india
Anoop:ya dude so do I ....

clink!
and so the "Interesting call" ended..............


Adds up, for one more story to ammuse the rest of the BAREs in a lunch meeting or just impress my FAT boss, and witness his fake smile...(why don't you go and jump into a pit of rotten tomattoes and stay there till you drown...my-BIG-FAT Boss)

anyway......

Latter-on, I get a mail from mike asking for an explanation...pooh "explanation" for what.
like any other BARE-professional I send him a polite reply abt what happened, and i' m sure he would have thought it's something gone wrong with we Indians...as always ...aplication not workin "indians coded, you see", what abt you goin wrong when you gave us the requirement u white freak...(lets not get all Emotional here now)

so like i was saying....
All this did make a difference,yes it sure did .....Anoop had a smile on his face..

gee.. fun beign a soft-BARE professional
