A mentor, guide and a friend...

My Boss almost died today after getting a near fatal shock! He is alright now and declared out of danger. Thank God for the visiting Doctor who was in the building at the same time. It is funny how momentary and fleeting are the moments we call life. He is such a nice boss and a gentleman to boot. You are the best Mr. MK

Footnote: Mr. M. K wasn’t electrocuted or anything like that. Just that he saw a certain Silverine at her desk at the stroke of 9:30 am today.

( I am sorry boss. What to do, I got up early and so came to office on time. I didn’t mean any harm. Pliz don’t hate me :( )

:p

  17. Wake up early? whats that?
    It happened with me.. coz.. I wake up @ noon and drag my ass to work.. when my boss has gone for lunch...

    so yeah one day.. I wake up @ 7 by mistake, and get my ass to work by 8, then he almost died...

    and, all my colleagues, fainted... eventually that day was declared a holiday...

  23. apparently mr.mk survived after seeing a certain blogspot page open on miss.silverine's comp, instead of any work page. that actually jolted back his heart to life. his physician also advised him to go to work after 9:30am henceforth, just as a precaution, even if he doesnt stop smoking or eating oily food. concerned employees also sent in suggestions like "keep silverine at office atleast till after 8pm", "send her beer every night"..
    the MK fans association condemned the incident and demanded that silverines desk be moved to the other end of the building.
    MK, when asked about the near fatal incident, said "people make mistakes in their youth"

  24. Silverine. you better not give him too many shocks because one day he may really keel over, and that will be sad being he is such a nice boss.

  26. During my previous job that lasted 37 months, I once went to my office at the stroke of the hour and my boss was overwhelmed with happiness... He said that he would die peacefully now that he had seen me come on time... But his happiness didnot last long as I sent out my resignation letter with a short fall of 10 days in my notice period ;-) ..
