Do
you remember my post DOP Comedy Episode One? As I have promised earlier, now I
am presenting the second episode before you.
This is the apt time to release the second edition of DOP comedy, as
this is the most joyful time every one is passing through.
In
order to add more flavors to this celebration, Santa Claus is visiting your
office and says some comments after each answer. I have no intension to hurt any particular
person or persons through these episodes.
This is only the way of saying facts through comedy. Let us hear the
conversation and comment by Santa.
1.
Sir, We have received more than 2600 eMO’s as pension payment. Every eMO’s are more than Rs 4000 in
value. How can we able to pay the eMO
within a short time as 15 eMO’s if invoiced itself will count as 60,000
/-. We cannot entrust more than this to
Postman a day. This may take around 15
days to finish, with two beats, at least.
Ans. eMO’s are sent for a pension
payment. You have to payout the maximum
amount per day so that the maximum numbers of eMO’s are paid daily. We are regularly monitoring the progress in
the website, so that all eMO’s are paid within 7 days of booking. So entrust maximum eMO’s to Postman and make
the payments immediately. It is also
warned that office should not keep cash more than the authorized minimum and
the postman is given cash not more than as prescribed in the rules. Any deviation from rules will invite strict
action. Though you may strive hard to
pay maximum number of eMO’s so that it is totally paid over by 7 days.
(Comment by Santa: As if we read a prayer
“Lokakshema”: “loka samasta sukhino bhavantu…
ha . ha.”)
2.
Sir, Our building is not having proper toilet facilities. One problem is that our Toilet is situated at
a place distant from the office building.
The toilet itself is about 200 meters away, it is causing difficulty
while working to use the necessary facility.
Ans. It is not a problem, Office has to
function whole day, since facility of Toilet is only required sometimes during
a day, you need to manage the needs by using it during the lunch time or at the
closing hours only.
(Comment by Santa: Thank God, now god has
created species in the shape of postal officials who are given the boon to do
nature’s calls only at lunch time ha.
ha.)
3.
Sir, what is the actual nomenclature of the Post of Technical person in
our Department. We are been addressed
with several names of cadre in various memos and letters that we receive from
your end. Kindly clarify the same
please.
Ans.
Technical persons are called by various names depending on the
situation. When installations of
softwares, troubleshooting and TA bills submission are concerned, they are been
addressed as System Administrators, When there is assistance provided to
offices and Superintendents they are termed as System Assistants, When they
develop for our software’s they get the name as Software Developers, When the
Divisional level works they are called as Dy System Managers and so on. When it
comes to work they are bound by 24 Hours working rule. When it comes to paying salary and giving
Travel allowances only, they are treated as Postal Assistant. We, recon them as “work horse” of Department,
since they contribute our Department both by health and wealth by meeting the
travel expense from their pocket and also by working beyond office hours.
(Comment
by Santa: Good god they didn’t name them as Stupid Assistants or something like
that, for the assignments they undertake.
A new cadre can also be Shramdaan Assistant)
4.
Sir, lot number of systems has been reduced due to cleaning activities
and removal as e-waste. Kindly review
the available systems so that newer ones are supplied.
Ans.
You are hereby informed that you should see how good our offices are now
after the e-Waste and old systems were removed.
Eventhough systems are not available at offices for working purpose, the
customers will be very happy to note that our offices are looking good and
clean. Customers will be very happy to
see the how beautiful and neat, our postoffices are when they wait more time at
postoffices for getting their required works done.
(Comment
by Santa: As if we are maintaining monuments of beauty ha ha... Both work and tidiness should be in
coordination to each other, isn’t? )
5.
Sir, We are not able to work due to problem with the Server not getting
the network connectivity. SA’s have been
informed but they say that they still on the way, walking towards bus stop from
an office. Customers are waiting, Kindly
do the needful.
Ans.
You are directed to ensure that all customers may be kept waiting
without any complaints and in the meantime you can canvas the waiting customers
for opening of new Savings account and Philatelic Deposit schemes. If you get more time, then canvas about PLI
and RPLI schemes. If still time is
sufficient then you advertise the essence of “My stamps”, so that the customers
are kept entertained and not bored waiting like this. You can in between - ask how neat and clean
the office is from outside!
(Comment
by Santa: SPM will be a fortunate if he happens to escape from the “delight” of
customers. SPM can be trained for how to
escape from horrible situations like these ..ha. ha.
For
SA’s it is good that a proposal for a new training for walking fast and if
needed sprinting to offices through a new physical education program can be
introduced. Now, since they are going by
Bus, they have to practice not only walking fast, but jumping into Bus alsol,
so physical exercise is necessary to keep them fit ha. ha.)
6.
Sir, At our office, there are shortage of furniture, The SPM chair is
broken and two of the Postman chairs also requires re-caning. Kindly cause some remedial action so that the
seating arrangement is done normally.
Ans. There are no good chairs even in this
office of ours. No funds are allotted to purchase the furniture. You are directed to forward an explanation as
to why the SPM Chair has damaged. You
may also take explanations from Postman as to how the chairs got complaint and
not keeping it tidy, requiring the Department to spend for repairs for it.
(Comment
by Santa: Thank God, it was not asked to sit on a bench or floor itself
ha. Ha !!!)
7.
Sir, We are recently converted to remitting the cash surplus and
receipts to Bank. This is to inform you
that there is only limited number of bus, and in that, one goes at the morning and the same
bus arrives at the evening, which is having bus stops near to Bank, from this
office. Kindly allow to charge the auto
fare.
Ans. You are hereby instructed that the
remittance to Bank may be done during the time when Bus starts service at
morning. You may go at the morning to
remit the cash by bus and then after finishing your duty at the office, in the
evening you can bring cash from the Bank as during morning time bus is
available to Bank and at the evening time bus is available for return. Auto charge is disallowed.

position and momentum of a subatomic particle - Heisenberg uncertainty
principle” the idea is “you can never be sure of anything”)
8.
Sir, The recent supply of Papers and Stickers of MPCM and SB are of very
low quality. The stickers supplied are
not able to tear apart after one transaction and the Papers are so thin that it
is getting torn in the hands of Postman and even the Daily accounts are getting
torn at reaching the Head office.
Ans.
The Papers and stickers are purchased from Stores Depot, they are
purchasing as a bulk lot taking the lowest amount of quotation received. This time we got the appreciation from our
higher authorities that we could save a large amount, as this time the lowest
quoted amount was much below our expectations.
You are instructed to use the stickers and Papers mildly, so that it is
not torn in your hands or Postman. H.O
‘s are also instructed to use a mild approach with Daily Accounts so that it is
not torn there also.
(Comment
by Santa: Sometimes the roll paper which comes for spreading on top of the
table during lunch and dine is also very cheap, can be the next good choice for
printing paper needs ha .ha.)
