The War

Excerpts of a dialogue between my Project Manager (R) , Project Leader(J) and me.
(Whatever I remember )
Time 6:50 pm. Date 22nd  Nov 2005. Venue: Near my cubicle
Here goes
Lucio to J: J I have completed all the tasks assigned to me for the day including one that was to be done later.I am leaving(we address everybody on a first name basis).
J to R: R who will going to take up the issues(In her classical English).
R to J: Assign the issues to someone because I want you to look at some other problem.
J to R: Ok I will assign them now then.
R to Lucio: Lucio solve these issues, they are few and are trivial(even then they take time is what I thought to myself)
Lucio to R: Ok assign them to me and I will come and solve them tomorrow.
R to Lucio: I want u to solve them now.
Lucio to R: The only reason I finished the work assigned to me at 6 o’clock even thought it was major was because I wanted to leave on time. I really cannot look at it now.
R to Lucio: What if I want to assign more issues to you tomorrow.
Lucio to R: As soon as I finish these I will look at the new ones.
R to Lucio: No I want you to look at them now.
Lucio to R: Now is not possible because I have to leave.
R to Lucio: What is the problem?
Lucio to R: I am really tired and I want to leave.
R to Lucio: See it is not everyday that we ask you to sit late… jus 3 more days u will have to sit late and do it.(ya ya  to that)
Lucio to R: It is really not possible
R to Lucio: Doesn’t J sit late everyday, doesn’t B sit late everyday(they do so coz they not complete the work assigned to them)
Lucio to R: Silence
R to Lucio: See do it and leave.
Lucio to R: No it will not be possible for me.
R to Lucio: I am sure if u can finish the work assigned at 6 in 45 mins this will hardly take you any time.
Lucio to R: I am not sure of that and in any case I cannot do it now.
R to Lucio: ( Almost scowling now) we will talk to you about this later then. Ok then.

I leave at this point.
