Cccccccccrazzzzzzzzzy!!

Last week has been one of the craziest weeks in my life :) The picture says it all...this post is just a part of the week..the rest will follow later. I got a call Saturday night at around 11 from some telecom-giant client of our company. Before I could rub my eyes well enuff to open them, I got to know he conferenced my managers as well as his senior managers in the call. I was half-asleep and I cud hear mom complaining in her sleep about the late-nite fone call that disturbed her peace. Anyways, the funniest thing I have ever heard in the middle of the nite is what my manager told me...After almost shaking me out of my sleep, he asked me on the call,"I hope you were not sleeping!".No...No...Why wud I sleep at 11 pm at nite...This is the time to get up and go for a jog or rather get into some dancing...Oh man! gimme a break...I planned this nite so well...I though I wud sleep at 10 pm and wake up early to get started with my yoga sessions at 4:30 am in the morning... If you ask me, I felt like hanging up or may be throw him off some cliff, if I got a chance... :) He kept asking me some super-advanced questions abt the client's issue and told me it was urgent. Ahum! I cud not even tell him that it was not my skill-scope but then, we are not supposed to say that when the client reps are in the call. So I simply heard him talking until I realised I almost slept leaning on to the wall. :) He asked me to reach office in another hour to fix the problem. I was like,"Are you joking?" in my mind. I told him, I was out of town and will only be able to make in on Monday...He did not spare me even then. I had to stay up late till 2 am to contact the worlwide guys on the issue and the whole Sunday went by just like that. Then came Monday morning and this guy from Client's side wakes me up at 6 in the morning and asks me to come to office. How cud I tell him that the issue they stated is not my domain at all...Anyways, I tried calling my manager to get this fixed but he slept till 9 and wen he got up, he asked me to go to client's place....Reason being my mgr himself messed up the client's work ....Shuh! This simply puts me off, he never bothers to consult us before he throws up his half-baked ideas in the client's direction. I told him it wud take me 7 hrs to reach...finally he threw it all on me and I had to somehow reach client's place to fix something I have no clue about....Monday was super-crazy.....I had a toast to sustain my medicines and could not manage anything to eat till 8 at nite...I could have actually fainted, Thanks to someone up there, who takes care of all us...I survived... Problem is I cannot eat or drink outside due to the constraints my doc has put on me...So I kept working with a backing of a toast for the whole day under so much pressure, where 15 guys stood behind me watching each n every step of mine... Ironically, there was one sardar manager who saw me and said in Punjabi" Ae nikki jayee kudi ki karegi aithey?" means" What will this small kid do here?"...ha ha ha He could not believe I was a Product Specialist from World-wide experts team... :) Watever, it was a biiiiiig fight for survival until Tuesday evening arrived...Appreciation mails were exchanged and I was being applauded for all the stuff I did there...Ah! I remember how I pleaded my manager to let me go home that Monday afternoon after I felt I wud fall down coz of lack of food in my stomach n ofcourse I had no energy... But to be true I believe everything happens for a reason and tht reason is always good. :) I cribbed a lot for all those 4 days but then I got an unsolicited cutomer feedback mail wherein they appreciated my effort. So, allz well that ends well... But my manager has not yet learnt his lessons... This guy will never ever realise the importance of his team... lol... The whole week went by in fixing the issue 360 degrees around and I could not manage time to communicate with all of you...my dear blogger frenz...
