For those who have faced such situations rarely, add Sarah to your list.
It was a friday, and she was full of energy as it is the last working day of the week. Soon after settling at her work-desk, she was told to brush through some documents for the test. The team was asked to collect in the conference room and started their training. From 10:30 to 2 o clock, they had all the gyan given to them about instructional designing. Sarah was happy having learnt a great deal about the subject. It was like getting a degree, but the grumbling stomach interrupted Sarah's happiness.
She came out of conference room, ordered for a dosa...no no then changed it to a plate of idli. CEO asked her manager for a dosa. Sarah'
s manager called the office boy, asked for two plates dosas. Over!
Is it...No.
Dosa arrived, Sarah got her change back and vroomed into the lunch room, gulped the dosa down her throat and came out.
"Did the office boy get my lunch?", asked CEO. Sarah's manager had no clue....with half dosa on his work desk and half already in his stomach.
"You ate his dosa...you had ordered for idli naaa", told Sarh's colleague to her. <<<<<<<<" I gave him a 100 rupee note, told him to get dosa. By the time he reached my manager's workdesk, i told him to get idli instead.
He came to my desk, gave me a dosa packet and 84 rupees", recalled Sarah
That is how she saw the event.
Sarah felt she was getting choked. Gosh!! did i eat my boss' lunch. Damn it!! no way...the office boy forgot to get my idli...and he thought the manager asked for two dosas: one for himself and one for me.
But, where is the idli then??.....
This was the first time Sarah had eaten lunch in such a hurry, and in the lunch room, sitting all alone in dark. And trust me, she looked like a thief, eating other person's lunch. God damn her, that other person was not a colleague but her CEO. Poor lady was feeling so lost and was jumping all over the office, assuring herself that the dosa was hers.
How would you feel if same happens to you someday? Am sure it would be somewhere similar to what Sarah felt like...

@rovinroustabout: It is indeed real....I witnessed it. Poor sarah!
Yar but I don’t understand ki even if a person has her CEOs lunch den also whats so weird about it…..sarah seems like too sensitive or may be d CEO is a big time ass….we are not living under d british ki gora sahib ka lunch kha liya to it’s a sin or sthing…..
@rovinroustabout: absolutely correct! It is just an account of what a shy,sensitive first timer felt like. Ofcourse, it is not a big deal.
u know its d basic difference in the pschy of a guy a girl…..in fact dre are different things dat embarrass different sex… gals get embarrassed if they think about dre image while for a guy the canvass is slightly wider….image is replaced by reputation…
Poor sarah! Well, at least she realised it 'after' finishing the dosa. I can't imagine the poor, hungry CEO staring at the half-eaten dosa.
embarassment is only part of the story. I would feel bad about eating someone' else lunch !
