I used to work for a media company in Chennai with my colleague S, who was one level senior to me. Our Boss, who is a Director of company used to sit in Mumbai office and was quite a terror. Most of the times, we used to interact with our boss on Sametime Lotus messenger.

(Giving you some background.. R was another colleague of ours.. who was a big dumbo and one level junior to S. Then we had 'Sh' who was arch rival of 'S'. Both of them are contendors for Manager position. )

Once, my colleague was out for a clong offee break. Not losing this golden chance, I went and changed my name on her Sametime to Boss name. So that if I type a message to her.. it'll appear as if Boss has pinged her. After that everything which happened is a laughing riot:

Boss(me): Hi ‘S’.. you there? (Message sent 15 min back) :D

‘S’ : Hi ‘A’.. sorry was away had a personal call to attend
Boss(me): how long were you away
‘S’ : for about 10- minutes..
Boss(me): i have been trying your land line for a long time
‘S’ : oh I sorry i was with a meeting before that
‘S’ : with client ‘XYZ’
Boss(me): there seems to be some prob with your cell
‘S’ : oh
‘S’ : m sorry.. but my cell is working..
‘S’ : one sec let me check
‘S’ : its working
‘S’ : ok.. m sorry for the inconvenience
‘S’ : can I call you now?
Boss(me): no i m in a meeting
Boss(me): hows work going
‘S’ : good actually
‘S’ : i do have some estimates regarding project XYZ, have spoken to Client A and B

Boss(me): actually i have to discuss it with you..
Boss(me): you might have to stay back lill late today
‘S’ : sure..
Boss(me): I hope that is fine
‘S’ : should not be a problem
Boss(me): I'll call you around 9: 30 pm
‘S’ : ok.. sure
Boss(me): You'll be there in the office
‘S’ : yes.. i will
Boss(me): great

‘S’ : 3 interviews done..
Boss(me): only 3
Boss(me): when are you planning to do rest of them
‘S’ : yes.. but have talked to a lot of people..
‘S’ : as in i am talking to the major players only
Boss(me): see.. what matters is final output
Boss(me): no but you cant get good enough idea with just 3 people
‘S’ : yes.. i agree but i have spoken to Client A
‘S’ : also going to meet someone senior in Client B organization
‘S’ : so not to worry.. i have this in control
Boss(me): I was planning to have a get together for our team in mumbai
‘S’ : wow.. that would be nice
Boss(me): I am planning to leave this organization
‘S’ : what!!

(‘S’ shouting to me.. oye A is leaving company… me completely ignoring her… I said haan pata hai)

‘S’ : A.. are you joking
Boss(me): before I go will introduce you to other ppl of team
Boss(me): do you think I am a joker!!
‘S’ : opps sorry
‘S’ : but no.. i mean .. but i have just joined..
Boss(me): ‘R’ will take over me
Boss(me): she is quite experienced
‘S’ : i cant believe this

(‘S’ telling me… yaar ‘mass_bunk’ wo R ko Director bana raha hai…)

Boss(me): At times you have to take some decisions
‘S’ : am i at liberty to ask where you are going
Boss(me): I am going to join our client C

Boss(me): I'll be Director - India operations there
Boss(me): You can take my interviews there...
‘S’ : that is very nice.. i am happy for you
Boss(me): Thank you
‘S’ : but i am shocked
‘S’ : till when will you be around?
Boss(me): ‘Sh’ and ‘mass_bunk’ have done splendid work
Boss(me): they will be promoted to Manager

(‘S’ shouting to me.. yaar you are promoted to Manager)

‘S’ : thats nice to know
Boss(me): so there will be some structure
‘S’ : yes.. sure
Boss(me): dont tell it to anyone
‘S’ : yes will not..
Boss(me): so hows life
‘S’ : shocked.. and baffled
‘S’ : i am sorry that i am behaving so wierd
Boss(me): you are anyways wierd
‘S’ : as in im am a very expressive person

(By now ‘S’ realized something fishy going on.. and she saw me giggling and typing something on Sametime)

Boss(me): can't help with it
Boss(me): grow up kid
Boss(me): ha ha ha ha
Boss(me): APRIL FOOL
‘S’ : how the FuK did you do this

(After that She did black and blue.. but we still remember those days and laugh over it)
