Short story from a daily internal update OJT call...

Participants: Eastern Europeans, Western Asians

After all the pleasantries have been exchanged between the Europeans in their own language ("Ce faci tu, cum e acolo?") and because the Asians did not join the call, a small update was presented that lasted shorter than the pleasantries. In less than 5 minutes the Europeans concluded that everything was going according to plan and no risks are to be mitigated.
Just before the call was to be concluded, the Asians logged in the call. And there we go:

Salmankan: "Hello, dis is Salmankan and Sandokan here. Sorry for being late"
Transition Manager: "It's Ok, we were just wrapping up"
Sandokan: "Quick question. Are you traveling tomorrow to "some Country"?
TM: " Yes, we are. As mentioned in the OJT Agenda. Nothing has changed."
Salmankan: " Have the SOP's bean updated so far?"
TM: "Yes, the analyst have updated all the SOP's. Every information was captured as agreed."
Salmankan: "And tomorrow are you boing to travel to "some Country?"
TM: "Yes indeed we are. Tomorrow as per the OJT Agenda."
Sandokan: "We need to update the SOP's. We have to bake sure everything is being documented."
TM: "Sorry, who's asking this?"
Sandokan: "This is Sandokan speaking"
TM: "Sandokan, what are you doing in this call? Aren't you supposed to be in the other call?"
Sandokan: "What call?"
TM: " The TG2 sign off call?"
Sandokan: "..."
TM: "Sandokan?!?"
Sandokan: "... No, I just wanted to know if the SOP's were updated as discussed. We need to make sure that everything..."


Marvelous... just marvelous!
