The experienced hot shot: climate change is essential!
Its going to ruin the entire future! (AND MY STOCK EXCHANGE MONEY)
The lowly subordinate: yeah sure sir you bet we agree on that-climate change is going to have a diverse impact on livelihoods.
The experienced hot shot: (irritated) ah well do whatever you were asked to do this morning and don’t forget to book my flight by business class and don’t forget to mention that airconditioned luxury car in our UNDP budget for climate change project.
The lowly subordinate: Well if I may ask……why do ‘we’ want an AC car sir?
The experienced hot shot: arrrrrrrrrrrrrrh growls, scowls and many ageing frowns later—have you ever understood the term; using for future investment {from a funder’s money}? Do you want to take that expense of the Mercedes C class from your salary?
The lowly subordinate: ah well! (Gulp) now that you have made crystal clear I don’t think Sir there is anything left in the grey area but definitely what you said makes sense- buying a car right now for the project can be used later………(please don’t ask me for what coz I don’t give a shit)
The experienced hot shot: One more thing – (almost shouting): Don’t try to show your confusion to other people its very annoying to see what’s so confusing when I am talking to you!
Do you think I talk greek?
The lowly subordinate: No not that I am cofused but just wanted to know how we can afford a guy who asks for 50k while our work cost comes to just 20k. (feeling that another dumb question was just let out unintentionally!)
The experienced hot shot: environment conservation is something which involves moving people out of their houses where they sit smugly tilling their meager plots of land so that we can plant eucalyptus trees on those plots. Now you are not capable of doing this are you? ……paused for a few milliseconds fiddling into his comp,
Just put the 50k, will you?
These matters I can take care of!
The lowly subordinate: (Thinking- eucalyptus in a drought affected area- wooooow!). Yes will just make the changes you asked for and sh*** it to you!
