Dear Boss,
Just a small mail to tell you how much I am missing you. Please come back. I know that you and your family deserve this hard earned vacation but you have certain duties too you know…if I may put it that way.
Let me tell you of the happenings in office while you are away.
1. I have taken your place as Bulldog now. I am sorry we called you that. (Which means they must be calling me Hitler, imperialist and slave driver too... *sob*)
2. People are wondering if you have picked me up from NIMHANS. And a certain group of people are scouring the HR manual to ascertain if "mentally challenged" people come under the purview of our "Equal Opportunity” employment guidelines.
3. I did not know that Foxy needs to be guided like a spastic from his chair to the meeting. He got lost yesterday and landed up in another meeting where he took some serious notes. His handwriting is very nice though.
4. Mr. IT Architect is driving everybody up the wall. He keeps his servers droning (he says it is humming) throughout the day. The notice next to the sever that says "Do not switch this off" has become "Switch this damn thing off". Currently he has asked for a security camera to focus on his work station to catch the culprits. We tried to circumvent the camera like in those Hollywood movies to no avail. Then we hit upon a brilliant idea! Bribe the Security man. It worked!! The security camera is now turned off from time to time so that we can switch the servers off. Mr IT Architect thinks he is spooked tee hee. It is fun btw.
5. Got to tell you about Ms Blah Blah. When you come back allow me to prostrate before you in absolute admiration. I came close to strangling her about 450 times yesterday. After the 451st attempt, they had to restrain me and HR asked me to take the day off. Then she slapped Ms Blah Blah. I protest! That was not very professional. I want my rightful chance to slap her too hmmpph!
6. Most of the people here are getting themselves treated for CMTD (compulsive multiple tab disorder). The treatment it is hoped will allow them to surf the web without tabs when you are not around.
The list is long, and right now I am realizing what it is you put up with. 12 very individual individuals of which one is cracked, one is absent minded, one thinks he is spooked and one goes blah blah blah and the rest are always browsing the web.
So Boss, please come back soon. I promise to behave myself in the future. *sob*
Your very sad Marcom Manager,
Silverine

oh man..not everyone misses "the boss on leave" but then not everyone is blessed with a team like this...
How insulting!! Calling a bulldog by the names Silverine and Boss!!
That wasn't notes about the meeting Boss. That was my foolproof plan to assassinate Silverine!
I destroyed the switch baby. Whatchya gonna doooo? Whatchya gonna dooo?
I'm gonna sue Silverine and HR for harassment. Better stay out of this Boss!
You bloody Macri manager. Don't disturb me while I'm cruising in my yacht. I can handle all of the above people, but.........but.......NOT YOU!!!!
Email from others:
Boss, help. Send silverine on vacation. You've taught us our lesson. YOU ARE LESSER OF THE TWO EVILS. In fact in comparism, you're not even evil.
Your humble slaves
poor boss - let him have his time in peace.. and let the employees suffer you - after all, it will help them to earn good karma... :P
Oh CMTD, I suffer a lot from this...and yes, especially when my authorities are away..:)
"surf the web without tabs"
so very true..
Boss,
Come back soon. We want more daily news..
Well.. ahem.. another fifty grand would ensure the camera is switched off for atleast a week :D
*psst!* no switch... pull... plug...
Thomman: ROFL!!! Namichu!! That was too good dude!!! :))
Iya: I am indeed blessed ;)
Browser: LOL!! Remove the word "humble" and "slaves" and it sounds just right!!
--xh--: Actually we are having some good fun, not that we don't when he is around, but its a different kinda fun! :)
Scorpio: When the boss is away it is time to do away with CMTD. :)
Al Ameen: :) He is not coming back anytime soon from the look of the vacation photographs! :)
Security Guard: LOL!! You are a life saver! dude!! :)
You don't even spare him to have some time with his family eh! So cruel. :)
Reminded me of my boss. Once when i went to him for a leave, he had a long look at the application and said, "Son, you're a bachelor, so you can take leave whenever you want. No need to plan them as per your kids' holidays or wife's leaves. So i can't grant this leave"
The bugger went on leave during the same dates that i'd wanted to go! Since then it's not Bulldog that i use to refer to him :D
hey....my boss is leaving tomorrow for 50 days...!!!
:((((
I think i ll also miss him too much...sob sob
Wondering what your workplace will be when you are out of office. Will your colleagues hire a DJ and have a blast?
one is cracked, one is absent minded, one thinks he is spooked and one goes blah blah blah and the rest are always browsing the web.
And you wonder why your boss needed a break?
Are you sure Foxy also didn't end up giving some "insightful inputs" in the other meeting? The other team may right now be trying to get him.

haha silverine Like ever.. A longer and worthier comment for you awaits at 'memoirs of a suppresed artist'
You promise to behave??
Hmm... You really think you can trick your boss into coming back?
And is reminding him about the perils in office the best method to incite his comeback?
do you still have the job or he hasn't read your page as yet :P
I can't wait for my advisor to leave- except of course, when I want a meeting with him.
when I get a job, am I going to become like this too?
True incident with the boss and vacation:
Once with tensions running very high with an account both Boss and I schedule a vacation for the same days - both glad to be rid of the other. Things were so bad that we did not even tell each other where we were going. Both being Club Mahindra members ended up in the same resort in adjusant rooms.
Maybe you should hack his orkut, facebook,.... a/c and chnge the password, with the prospect of putting up holiday pictures gone, he ll prly come back :D
omg, this is funny! post as well as comments...
Hehe Foxy is hilarious. And seeing the other comments, I am beginning to wonder if I took a wrong stand! Looks like all your characters are here :D
Btw you have been tagged.
Still going strong eh babes? Just stumbled again to see how things are moving at your end..

J.J ... a.k.a arrogantly.com

Vedika
been a reader to ur blog for long...but this time, not only the blog, but the comments are also hilarious!! u r too good gal..thumbsup!!!!!
It's so sad that neither Bulldog nor Foxy nor the others know what you write about them :|
By 'promise to behave myself' you mean that you won't do your evil deeds, then please rescind your promise.
Lol!
I was smiling through out the post. Brilliant humour!
I'm sad you've to go thru' all this when your boss is away, hope he comes back soon ;)
looks like somebody is having fun at the office!
happy diwali :)
Hey! can I get recruited to that team??... i too "fit" the "mis-fit" bill...:D
I'm in a terrible dilema...Should I laugh more from reading your post or the comments to the post...:D
lolz........have fun....
Hey - I thought this all sounded pretty normal. Except the part that you want your boss to come back, whaa--?? Where I come from; when the boss is out, everyone celebrates by surfing more (on the web). But now I don't know if we can do that anymore since they installed cameras right above our heads this past week. Time to invest in those computer "glare protectors" aka the-amazing-hide-your-internet-surfing gizmos? Perhaps.
Happy Diwali all!
Abhi: Pity you! I have a nice boss! :)
Chirpy Paro: 50 days? :O I would resign if my boss left for 50 days!
Pramod:lol!!
Amey: Anyone tries to poach Foxy and Boss will tear them apart! :)
