Ten Things @ IDF

I did not come to office on Thursday and Friday. I was at the IDF. I am tempted to write down the 10 things that I did / saw over there.

1. At the coffee queue, I saw that people loved to stand at the counter where there was a long queue.
2. At the registration desk, I was handed over a name tag. I found people wearing name tags having different coloured bands. My name tag had a dark green coloured band. I asked the girl at the registration desk, what the green coloured band was for, to which she replied that it was for the Delegates. Later I noticed someone in some other coloured band, who to had delegate written in bold on his card.
3. Intel was giving away IDF dollars which could be redeemed against T shirts, bags, watches and other stuff like that. I got two hundred IDF Dollars for a stupid question that I asked.
4. It was not long before I realised that most other people were asking even more stupid questions just for the sake of getting those IDF Dollars. My colleague told me that he even found one man begging for more IDF dollars.
5. I was attending a product demo with hands on experience and there was this guy who came and started sharing the computer that I was using. He asked me what the product was and I gave him a brief introduction to which he kept nodding his head even though he did not understand anything that I was saying. I wonder if people realise the same about me, when I keep nodding my head.
6. When it was time to redeem the IDF Dollars, there was a long queue. I waited till it became shorter. Finally, when my turn was a few people away, a beautiful girl draped in a saree, barged into the queue, right in front of me. When the guy behind me protested, I told him that I allowed her to do so because she was beautiful. He smiled at me and kept quite.
7. When another guy tried to barge into the queue, possibly after seeing that I allowed the girl to break the queue, I told him that he cannot do so because he is not beautiful. He did not look at me and jumped into some different queue.
8. I found people walking away with tens of T shirts. There were many people doing this and there were many people laughing at such people. These must have been the people who were expert at asking stupid questions or begging for IDF Dollars. I carried home 2 T Shirts. One for me and one for Keyur. Keyur gets this for talking to me all the time over phone while I stood in the long(relatively) queue .
9. It was too chilly in the halls. The ACs that they had put up, freezed me to death. I listened to all the speakers, most of whom, I guess, had boring me to death as the sole purpose of their talk, with my hands folded in such a way that my fingers found warmth in the region just below my arm pits. Finally, when a feedback form arrived, I wrote this in the suggestion section : I would appreciate if you would make arrangements for some good rum the next time. It is too chilly in here :-)
10. I found that the event managers had employed underage kids who walked barefoot collecting trash on the carpets with their bare hands.
