An Example of a Productive Talk With the HR Manipulators.
[Cube.35] hello...
[Cube.35] was the 'important points to remember on attendance..' email dynamically generated or personally sent ?
[Cube.35] i mean, i haven't bunked too many times...at least not recently...
[Cube.35] did i do something which made you send this to me ?
[Cube.35] i mean, if i'm aware of the problem, i personally assure you that i will take steps to correct my actions...
[Cube.35] ohh..wait...
[Cube.35] everyone got the mail..
[Cube.35] i wasn't the only one..
[Cube.35] cool..
[Cube.35] thanks for clearing my doubts.
[Cube.35] you've been too kind.


In case you're wondering why did this 'seemingly routine' chat get pasted, notice the one-sided conversation. For those intensely dumb, notice the lack of another person.

For the past few months, I have indulged myself in waging a holy crusade against the Inet-Direct Women's Liberation Front.

No more. All women are my Allies.

My lack of attention has made the RootF*cks a little cocky. Tonight, they installed the Server Monitoring & Report Analysis Agent on all machines.

Every installed software, every hardware mod, every site visited, every click & keystroke. Everything logged and monitored. Finally.

What pissed me off was the fact my machine was the first to have it installed. A week before everyone else. The network admins were finally showing some productive paranoia. I entered the SafeRoom in a jubilant mood to offer my congragulations. They laughed at me. They ridiculed me.
They showed me my browsing history, they attempted to disrobe my digital dignity. Fortunately, I don't have one.

Someone's always watching on a network. If not from within, then from the access point where the main data cable enters the building. The bandwidth has to pass through someone's filter.

Bandwidth is my God. The KB guidelines say it in clear & concise words. The CDO's own words. A web services company has no other Master.

I must free my Master. Network monitoring takes up unneccesary bandwidth. I can do the job better with an occasional peak over the shoulder. I must act quickly to destroy this wretched Agent from tainting MY bandwidth my Master's bandwith.

For the good of the Company.

I shall not fail. RootF*ckers, your lives just went out of season...

(Jimmy & Kalicharan, this means you!! challenge given. Challenge Accepted)

According to a recent company appraisal, I was voted the least 'TrustWorthy' employee.
To thank the HumanResourceManipulation Dept for this honour, I initiate communications.

[cube.35] yo!
[HR.Nandini] ya..what?
[cube.35] nothing yaar...just saying yo!...
[HR.Nandini] grrrr.....


Judging from the vibes I received over jabber, Nandini is very capable of coming down and kicking my sorry little ass.
Note to self - you will desist from prank-msg'ing her.

[HR.Suma] dont bother..v r all discussing our stuffs


It's not easy to prank-msg someone when they're actually willing to have a decent conversation with you.
As per IM ettiqutte, when someone prank-msg'es you, DON'T ACTUALLY START CHATTING DECENTLY!!!
this kills the whole prank.

Or was this a devious application of reverse psychology to outwit me ?
