Me, Myself and Mayvelous
4 Jul
I came to work quite late this morning and the taxi driver said, “don’t worry about it, the guys will be watching soccar”. He was right, we can hear the yelling from the road when we got to the office. All the guys were downstairs watching and cheering semi-final. I just thought oh well crazy guys as usual and went upstair to my place. To my surprise one lonely guy was working hard in the empty office. I asked “All the guys are watching soccer downstair, aren’t you interested in soccer?” Then a cheer went on again from downstair. He quickly answered “Oh no they score again!!!”, and rush down to see the match. haha seem like he rushing up and down juggling between his work and the game. I guess it left me the only one in the office.
What with the guys and the sport anyway? Too much don’t you think? (Okok I know the answer, don’t answer that. :>)
Here is something for you to try out.
Letter To My Boss – Soccer Maniac
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I wish to let you know that the FIFA World Cup has began. This is not just any other tournament, it’s the World Cup! Please note that this tournament takes a month to finish, i.e from 9th June to 9th July. During this period take note of the following:
- Will be knocking off earlier than usual in order to watch the kick off of the first game.
- Do not be surprised if I report a little bit late every morning, it will depend of the time the last game finishes.
- Production will go up during this month as almost all employees will be happy and highly motivated (Check Maslow’s motivation Theories with Human Resource).
- I know you are into other boring sports like golf, bowling, etc. Please if you want to fit in the work environment for the next one month, try to know something about soccer, even asking a foolish question like “Is Zambia playing tonight?” is welcome, that is if you really want to fit in, or else no one will be a loner for one full month.
- Greeting each other in the morning will change from “Good morning” to “How was the game last night?”
- I will not accept to work overtime during this period as no amount of money can buy me to miss a game. Therefore make sure you do not give me any work after 19:30 hours.
- I will need to be up-to-date with the latest therefore the first 1 hour every morning is for accessing sports websites and other updates on the internet and also chatting with friends.
Lastly, please do not think you can fire me should you decide to break any of the above rules as you will have to fire everyone.
Thank you for your understanding.
Yours faithfully,
Soccer Crazy Employee!
Forza Italia… Forza Azzuri! and… Italy has made it to the world cup final!
