"If you don't understand my silence, you will never understand my words!"

... he was not in his usual mood anyway... the Gallup's result was out and the rumors were rife that a meeting for the results' review will be held anytime... there was an undercurrent of excitement with the poker face plastered over the subtle smile...

... and then the D-day came ... we were asked to gather in the conference room... and with the chuckles and suppressed laughter the mood was quite ... umm... upbeat? ... the thing is... almost awl our team members (rather group mates) gave the lowermost scores in the G12 survey ... and or HOD's Gallup score was @ rock bottom ...

... the meeting started with a simple objective to identify why our group scored low ... and after the 'warm-up' it was getting better and better with more and more people opening up and at least for the duration of the meeting He appeared to be on the back-foot ... defending and sometimes with childish energy countering all the 'attack' by the younger team members...

... the immediate fallout of the meeting was introduction of '3 shifts' ... A, B and G ... in rotation ... now shifts are pain in arse... specially when u r NOT working dedicatedly on CAD ... but then... shifts are good... for once u get to wake-up 5 in the morning and then drive awl the way to the office... and then when the entire company is lazying around after the lunch, your official day is already over ...

... also for once u get to wake-up at your convenience ... do awl the lazy stuff u always wanted to do in the day ... i mean the dishes the laundry the FB updates the emails the chat the phone calls and etc etc... and then u reach the office when everyone is in the pack-up mood... u get some time to catch-up with the rest of the colleagues and just when u r all geared-up for the 'day' the evening takes over the senses... and then... well... the 'day' starts ...

... productivity gayi tel lene! as long as u r coming in shifts u r 'working' ... now whoz going to argue with the balding heads with grey hair?? ... so 'we' decided to follow the shift schedule strictly and it's been fun! ...

... one interesting fall-out was i 'missed' the weekly project review meeting... however... the good thing is, some of those who attended the meeting were very excited about it ... the smile grin on their faces was so... ummm... sheepish? ... now... i am tempted to write in detail but then i will be compromising on the TCoC ... so keeping the excitement with me ... u enjoy some splice of the Imagineering 10-11
