Voices from within

Morning joy

Reached office this morning only to find an e-mail from my Head of Department.
I startled.
What have I done?

The e-mail was sent to my reporting manager, carbon-copied to me. He wanted my manager to initiate a RAM upgrade for my machine. So so so touched.

I stayed back in the office yesterday night, was so frustrated with my machine. It took me approximately an hour to finish a task that could be completed in 10 minutes. Yep, my machine runs at 512MB. Mr HOD passed by my cubicle and heard my machine spinning. He stopped and had a short chat with me. He began telling how he refused to work when he was given a slow machine like mine when he first joined, how he firmly told his boss that he would not stay back in the office to finish his work because it was not his efficiency that has made him unproductive.

What a great way to start my working day!
