All in a day's work

My last day of work at Bye-Bye was going great guns with wishes from many employees. After all, they were happy for a person who had served his sentence and was getting released that day.

The HR lady smiled and signed my documents. Walking out, I was wondering who this woman was. It was time for the Admin department now which would close by 5 pm. They asked for my ID card which I gladly gave away.

All that remained was my status call at 10 pm(9 am USA time). After that, well..

I walked out of the office for a cig and I saw the HR lady drive away in a lancer. It set me thinking: Was I wrong to leave this company? An HR person looked after so well by this company?

Then my colleague said she was the Sun TV VJ whom we see everyday trying to predict our day with zodiac signs.

Walking back into the office, the security guards stopped me and asked me who I was. I did not have the ID card and they did not allow me in. In their opinion, an employee who just quit is of a potential threat than a complete stranger since I'd know where the server rooms are. Why would they always expect a leaving employee to be irate and revengeful?

Well that is Bye-Bye for you.

Anyways, my manager came running down and pleaded the security to allow me in. She wanted me for the client call.

Armed with a temporary card, I walked out again at 7 pm for the nearest TASMAC(Last day treat). Formal clad men with black executive shoes drinking old secret XXX in a shady little cottage is a sight to watch out for.

Client call went well with the American guy trying to test the new recruit if I transitioned well enough. I was obviously scribbling down a lot of answers for this guy and signaling this and that(it was a phone conference).

I left at 12 pm immediately after the call. I was done with 25 kilometres(/33) of my journey back on my good old Activa and this battery of Cops stopped to check me.

3 college kids were crying buckets sitting inside the police car. I asked them to calm down and behave like grown up boys. Then this cop asked me to blow. I obliged.

He shouts "D Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"(Drunken Driving they told me later) and another cop started beating me like a madman. He din't seem to stop. He was drunk as well. I was almost in tears when he shoved me in the same car. Finally the 3 students started laughing. You know why.

The 3 kids had to call their parents in spite of persistent appeals. I told the drunkard cop I will pay and parents don't get to know anything. With only 500 bucks in cash, the greedy cop wanted me to draw cash.

He drops me outside my apartment and I sneaked into my house slowly. Tip toeing, I took out my ATM card and began to lock the house when my dad woke up and asked me...

"Do you want to drink Bournvita?" Me: $#@%#$?!>!!

I told him my vehicle stopped and an auto guy towed me so I was gonna pay him now.

I went down and the cop was patiently waiting for me. I withdrew 3 grand at the ATM. The cop took it and drove away. I walked back to the station and took my vehicle.

Booze cost: 500 bucks
Fine:3000 bucks
Thought of having quit Bye-Bye and all is over now: Priceless
The idea of me blogging about all this: Shameless
