Night shifts in P.S.U's


In PSU’s (public sector units) though every jack and ace encash their sleep only but still we can divide them into three groups.

Group A - All bachelor young guns who carry cigarettes, novel and electronic gadgets charged up to last electron level during night shifts.
Group B – Married people with their kids as kids, carrying magazines with weekly sex columns and a 30 pages pocket diary to make a note of “how to improve sex life”
Group C - Rusty and sleepy senior-most carrying drugs (medicines dimwits), blanket, eye cushion pad and a big alarm clock big enough to wake the community up at 5 o’clock.

THE SHIFT BEGINS:
People head towards their respective departments discussing daily soaps and about their wives along with the equipments to survive the darkness.
Normally shift starts at 10 if every unit is working in as desired manner (a bit of failure is also acceptable)
At 10:30 shift head yawns first with the look ‘people I am done with my smoking and sex I am thinking of sleeping now the unit is yours’ This is the signal that I am going to sleep you may follow if you want to but according to seniority level only.
Midnight scenario:
Plant looks like haunted with only few lights in the office and rest in darkness
Half of the shift is over and people under 33% reservations are left as trainees and junior engineers with few workaholics. Irrespective of the running condition the sex gurus call every Sharma ji and mishra ji and treat their sex problems in every possible manner and after an hour of vigorous discussion they fall asleep with their mouth open inviting any bee left in the plant accidently, to inspect their internal organs and give a percent damage report at the end of shift.
One more hour later
Smokers become friend first at a new place so its ruling time for group A people they are feel a bit sleepy now so they find a blackout room, a new room every time. They smoke with sips of tea and spent few more mins in discussing and calculating cigarettes and in planning when to smoke.
3 hours left for the shift to over
Everybody else is dead and fell like drunk wizards at their table with only group A people left and it’s time for them to search for recently opened documents and other explicit materials hidden in the 80 gigabyte diskette.
For the next two hours people fire in the hole (CS & DELTA-FORCE), destroy police vehicles(NFSMW) and build their dynasty(AOE) with tea biscuits and a pity ‘draupadi’ cigarette.

Last but not the least hour
People based on their seniority starts arriving, rubbing their eyes and managing hairstyles. Shift head arrives at the last with the question in his eye ‘You guys didn’t sleep at all’ and give ‘my young guns are very hard-working’ look.
Last precious 30 minutes
People wait for the clock to strike the last minute and match the time with them as they feel the clock is also sleepy.
BONG!! the wait is over now.
Next shift people landed they hug each other as they successfully managed the plant for the past eight hrs and wish them all the best for the next shift.
Finally one more nightmare ends.
