The vengeful, evil, satirical me is back :)
with the RF post again. I bet everyone would ahve forgotten what I am talking about, so take a peek here and here. As usual the italics are a little spiced up filmy deviation from what actually happened, so don't bother...Now off we go...


The next morning , back in her senses, RF realises that she lost a golden opportunity to gain AM’s confidence and there went the opportunity to control the team. She tries again but by then AM had recovered from his hangover and this time it’s revenge on his mind. He tries all that is within his limits to alienate RF from the team. Besides this he also has a good time driving the SEs into frustration, after all he used to be a good manager once, now he’s a changed man! RF decides it’s time she took over by force. She makes use of the long absences of AM from the office and decides to threaten the team members into submitting to her command. And like every other immature wannabe manager, she starts with getting a status update.

Hencri Mancini’s godfather tune plays in the back ground
‘I’ll make them an offer they cannot refuse’ says RF to herself. Forgetting that she neither had a pistol wielding Luca Brasi at command (or her own brain for that matter) nor the fear/respect of the crowd of SEs and MLs, she marches on beaming with confidence, the only thing missing was the cigar in her hand!

This is how Godmother’s attempts went.
RF: hey
ML1 (barely looking away from the monitor): hi
RF: I need your status report before cob
ML1: eh?...If I tell you, you won’t know if I’m better or worse as you don’t have the slightest idea of what I am doing!
RF: oh!
ML1: anything else?
RF: Nope!

RF: er…hello
ML2: Oh hi!...you’re in office today??!
RF: Yeah…just thought I’d drop in to say hi…see you later!
ML2: bye!

ML1: That was smooth (winks)
ML2: comes naturally!...you’d better warn ML3, else she won’t know what hit her!
ML1: right away…

Discouraged by these results, RF decides to Ping ML3 on the messenger. ML3 is forced to retaliate. The chat transcript:

RF: I need your status report now…I would be giving it over to the client today

ML3: Who said that?

RF: Why, is that a problem?

ML3: No, but we’d need to have a lot of knowledge transfer before that, and my project here is 2 weeks away from implementation. I can save that time you know.

RF: That’s alright…I can spare so much time.

ML3: Well, I am going to be implementing that project…it’s me who doesn’t have the time. Please tell me who’s demanding this?

RF: Erm…the client is

ML3: !!!...they hardly have a say in who does what. That’s strange. Anyway I’ll have a word with Mic. I’m sure he would understand.

RF aka karthika: niruthidu, ellathayum niruthidu
ML3 aka velu naikkar: edha nirutha solra? Unna manushiya madhikama thimira badhil sonnane andha ML1, avana nirutha sol, na niruthuren!
Unna indha office sweeper-a vida kevalama paathane andha ML2 avana nirutha sol na niruthuren


RF: Oh…it’s fine. If it’s too much of a problem, I shall tell Mic so myself. Never mind.

ML3: Okie…cheers!

ML2: How did it go?
ML3: Phew!...you guys had it easy…I had a long chain going until I could finally nail it down!
ML2: So you finally did it?...you stud J
ML3: *flushing* Thank you :)) I am thinking of keeping the transcript…you know like a keep sake?
ML2: Sure you should…they don’t come along so often…

ML1, ML2 high five in their cub.. *Clap!*

P.S: Thanks to Mani Ratnam, who should in turn thank Francis Ford Coppola and so I thank him too for my ‘influences’ from their works.
P.S.S: If you don't get any of this, never mind...it's just office revenge ;)

Song on: Can't hold us down
Mood: Crazy
