The other funny moment

Ok, so this is a continuation of the Embarassing Moment.
This one dinn happen with me, but as I said, its damn cool.
The background goes like this....
We got this project where we are building some user input screens. I am the one who prepared the screen mocks and gave it to the team in Zurich to make them.
Now, the screens were done and we had a meeting to discuss how much work was there to input all the information through these screens and blah blah blah.
I prepared an excel with the information and gave it to two different managers in-charge of the getting the data into the system.

The Meeting Scene
I was sittng there with my British Friend. Our Irish Manager was also there. On Call was a lady from Jersey Islands. The purpose of themeeting was to discuss how much time it would take to get the work done.
So, we are going through the excel sheet and talking about a lot of things related to the system.
When the list related to our side was over and we had to look at the list related to the Jersey Islands, my Manager goes:

Manager: So, Anna, how big is yours?
(There is a huge pause. I am trying not to laugh and my British friend is smiling way too nicely.)
Manager: I think I need to re-phrase that sentence. Ok, lets move on.

Thats it. It was so short, but it was just too good.
Total Entertainment.

Oh 2006!

I was so frustrated that the Citi Firewall stopped all things related to blog. I used to get a RED Screen. Mind you, when I say RED, its 100% Vermillion RED and it can be seen from atleast 20 metres.
Exactly, the whole world around you will know that you have accessed an unwanted site.
Well, the only other thought that would go into their mind is "what kind of site this guy tried to access"?
Then they would probably come around you with that grin, then slowly say "bright colors on your screen, eh"
Okay, thats the boring bit.
Anyways, accidentally or perhaps luckily, I have access to the blogger site again.
So I guess now I'll start writing again.
And yeah, Happy New Year to all those who keep visiting my page.

And if you did think that you did not receive comments from me for your blogs for a long time, then blame the Firewall. And the fact that there is not even a single internet cafe within 5 miles radius from my house.
"Oh my god, you live is such a pathetic city" - you may ask. Well, thats LONDON.

And so, we begin yet another year!!!
