I slept with my boss
"Well it's been ages since I posted" is repeatedly becoming the opening line for my blog posts.
Anyway will be trying to post couple of entries today to buck that trend.
The heading of this post looks juicy[ignore the pun] but let me take the juice out of it
First and foremost I am male[feels a bit girlish to announce that I am male]. My boss is male too. My boss was my batch mate at IIM Lucknow. We started up together. One fine day we felt we needed a leader and had a “process” [more about the “process” in our future best seller: "How to do all the wrong things and succeed in Entrepreneurship'] to elect the leader and from then he [Doc] became our boss.
Our fledgling consultancy work has resulted in a lot of travel.
They say , Consultants are experts at fleecing the customer and in this regard we seem to be pretty black-sheepish and have been at the receiving end of most of the fleecing.
Anyway one such assignment was at Calicut [a 8 hour overnight bus ride from Bangalore].
Instead of taking the Rs 550 Volvo we decided to go for the Rs 340 sleeper for two reasons.
a) Economic sense [ being fleeced, meant economic sense came naturally to us]
b) I cannot sleep in a sitting position
Doc[boss] did the bookings and for some reason [ I did not bother to investigate] got a double bed.
Anyway lying in the double bed of the bus with Doc and being tossed up and down at the slightest jerk of the bus was amusing. It meant that the usually “abletosleepoffinanyposition Doc” failed to get any sleep. Me got to know all this next day after waking up from a comfortable slumber.
