The Game - 1

Time of the day : 10.00 P.M.

Boss: Hey Fresher!! Whats up.
Fresher: Hi Boss.Things are good.
Boss: So you all set to watch the football match tonight.I saw you were pretty much excited about it in the evening.
Fresher: Yes Boss.Cant wait to watch.
Boss: Cool. Whom do you think will win today.
Fresher: I think Brazil has every chance, if Ronaldinho is at his full fitness.Also Rooney looks in terrific form.But I think a midfield with Kaka,Robinho and strikers Ronaldo and adriano and Dida in goal it should be a cake walk.
Boss:oh..You know a lots about the game.So there is still chance for Rooney to help portugal to victory tonight.
Fresher:Boss, Rooney doesn't play for Portugal.He plays for England, The match is between Brazil and England .
Boss: Oh..Ok.I thought he was playing for portugal and there is a lot of talk against this youngster.Whats his name.
Fresher: Think you are talking about c.ronaldo.
Boss: Oh..yeah.Its great that you have some passions like this man.It will always help you improve the quality of work you do.And to be honest its not easy to find people like you with varied interests.Keep it going.
Fresher: Sure Boss.
Boss: One more thing, I almost forgot.You remember this status sheet, that we created today about the status of the product.
Fresher: Yes Boss.The one about the XYZ product to be released next month.
Boss: yeah..exactly.can you do me a favour, could you please send it to XYZ.They wanted by EOD and I forgot to send it.
Fresher: Not a problem boss.Will do it in next 15 mins.
Boss: Oh..cool.BTW dont ride your bike fast to reach office in 15 minutes.Be careful while riding, particularly the IT highway is not too safe.
Fresher:Boss I dont have to ride my bike for I'm still at office.
Boss: Really..I dint know that.Ok..After sending the email go home and enjoy the match.

The fresher fails to understand what the last sentence meant, spends 10 more minutes reading the build up for that night's match within which he gets a reply from XYZ with lots of questions about status and Fresher ends up replying those questions by calling his boss. It further triggers lots of mails back and forth which delays him.No wonder by the time he went home Brazil had already won the match.

A couple more games to follow...
