Permanent ????

Till four months ago, there were just two meaningful purposes i was serving while i was in office. First thing was to educate the people who share my cabin about good music and the second to update them with the cricket scores. I got more famous for the latter as people from each and every corner made it a point to visit my workstation to check out the score. For reasons i till date fail to understand, these guys never keep their cricbuzz.com page open despite being the ones who need a ball by ball update of the score.
On the match days, as soon as i enter my block, i used to be greeted with these words... " match shuru hogaya ?? ". If there is a delay due to weather or something, its worse.... The same questions keep coming on over a loop!
The other day i was busy reading some cricinfo site and following the India Vs Sri Lanka match. Pathan hit a maximum and I shouted "pathan hits a six!! " with all excitement and turned around to look for Phani(the dude at the neighbouring workstation), but instead to my shock i found my Project Manager standing right infront of me holding a paper in his left hand and offering his right hand to me. I was about to go MAD!!...but he said "Congratulations". I was totally zapped!!!....(*.. is he trying to be funnny/sarcastic ??? *). But he wasnt kidding... he said, " You have been made a permanent employee, all the best" and handed over my confirmation letter. For a moment, i went blank and then gathered my composure and said a half hearted thank you. The i felt.. i guess i am paid for entertaining people!!!
