Running up and down.. Running around.. "Not so merry" go round!

Well...He did not want to complain really...After having "stumbled upon" the concept of "Victim mentality", complaining is the last thing he wanted to do...
But then, when one is made to run around, run up and down, challenged to cut through red tape, the feeling is no more akin to "Victim mentality"..It is more on the lines of anti-establishment.
"Isn't it counter intuitive? " is the one question that kept crossing his mind today.
After a point, rules don't make sense any more. May be this was all designed to test his patience.
While rules, patience tests are all very well, the one point he wanted to make was that life could be so much simpler without the red tape. Ideally, he should be the last person to complain. Some of his friends have cut through "redder tapes" ;-)
But then, he is not exactly "complaining". He very patiently did the running around and the running up and down.
And he wasn't alone. Two others for company; they were exchanging smiles amongst themselves, each one of them knowing that a B-school should ideally be the last place where one has to cut through red-tape.
But then, he was not complaining as I told you earlier.

He was only saying that it was "not so merry".

And before others thought that he was running out of "running", there he was, running up and down for a good part of the day, and that is when he thought about how he hadn't given up on running. "Running" was not to let go of him that easily either! ;-)
