Fireworks

The decision came all by itself.

PM : We appreciate your depth of knowledge but I think there is a little more dedication needed to be put in this project, since its the crucial delivery period. (The "crucial delivery period" has been prolonging since the last few months.)

PA: (Expected to say something, at least a lame excuse, but keeps mum.)

PM : Ummmm........ Is there something bothering you in your work. If there is, please discuss it with us, we can help you out.

PA : No sir, actually the problem is with me. I don't like this work.

PM : (Blinks twice) .......Okaaay.....

PM :(Regains composure) But see you have to be diligent towards any work.

PA : Yes sir, I totally agree. So I decided to resign. (And in my head, a thousand fireworks exploded.)

PM : (The blank stare is back.) Ummmm....but see no matter what company you join, you have to be diligent...(So its the Loop.)

PA : I am switching my field of work. Mostly to ads.(I think if I would've said "I want to be an astronaut with a pink bow, it would've had the same effect.")

PM : .....Okaay....

" It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourseIf.

Makes you wonder what else you can do that you've forgotten about."
