Percakapan bodoh suatu sore di sebuah cafe








The morning show producer - You know what we should do? We should leave, together.

The senior cameraperson - Leave? What do you mean leave?

The morning show producer - Leave this company, together, I mean all of us, the whole package, then come to other news station as a package. We are practically every single one you need to run a news channel, right? We’ve got you, the senior cameraperson, your portfolio will make any TV station drool over. We’ve got you, the talented news anchor who got his company won many awards in a year. We’ve got you, the young talkshow producer, who can get almost any important guest appeared in our show. We’ve got you, the assignment producer, who always accomplished any impossible or ridiculous assignment…

The graphic producer - And where do I fit in this?

The morning show producer - We’ve got the one workaholic bastard who’s so high on his job he would stay up at this office until 3 in the morning thinking of how the visual look of this channel.

Everyone - Hahahahaha!

The graphic producer - (still laughing his ass off) You’re funny.

The morning show producer - And we’re all funny.

The field producer - (coming over to the table) Hey, sorry I’m late. You know how that live report can go… Anyway, remind me, why are we meeting here again?

The morning show producer - exactly why we all should move to another TV station which - with all the things that we have to offer - will pay us at least twice.

The news anchor - That won’t help us, you know, spending-wise. As the number of your disposable income increase, your needs and spending habit will also multiply exponentially.

The morning show producer - We’re practically a dream team here on the table.

The field producer - (stirring her coffee) What is this thing about the dream team?

The talkshow producer - Our friend here thinks that we should form a team and leave the company together.

The field producer - Leave? Where?

The morning show producer - Anywhere. As a whole package. We deal - you know, the remuneration package, the whole shindig - as a team. It’s like pay up this much and you’ll get a whole package. The best talents nurtured by the best TV station.

The field producer - Is that even doable?

The news anchor - I think I’ve read about it somewhere. A whole team of engineers moving from one oil company to the next.

The assignment producer - Anyway, which TV station do you have in mind particularly?

The morning show producer - ****, ***, and *******

The field producer - The first two sound about right, but ******* treats people like shit.

The morning show producer - How do you know?

The field producer - I have a friend who’s a human resource specialist, he knows every HR practice in every TV company in this country.

The news anchor - As long as we’re talking about what kind remuneration package we want, I’m gonna throw in: better car.

The assignment producer - What? What is that gonna do you? You don’t even drive.

The news anchor: I don’t drive but I use the car, right?

The field producer - You know what I want? Fashion allowance.

The senior cameraperson - Here here!

The graphic producer - What the hell are you talking about? Fashion allowance?

The field producer - Extra allowance in our monthly salary to get the best fashion items, to maintain our looks, you know. Shoes, bags…

The graphic producer - Hahaha, that’s gonna kill the whole deal right there. No company is stupid enough to grant people like us something as extravagant as the so-called fashion allowance.

The field producer - I’m serious. The other day, I busted my high heels on Parliament building. I think I should deserve some kind of compensation, don’t you think?

The morning show producer - Yeah, good luck with that.

The senior cameraperson - Whatever, man, as long as there is no stupid uniform policy.

The assignment producer - Unlimited Blackberry and phone bill would be nice.

The talkshow producer - What’s wrong with the one you have now?

The assignment producer - The 300 a month crap? I spent at least three times as much each month!

The field producer - Maybe if you weren’t using it to sweet-talk every girl in our office …

The assignment producer - Getting jealous, are we?

The field producer - Hahaha, you wish!

The news anchor - (to the morning show producer) Why are you so quiet all of a sudden?

The talkshow producer - And what is that you’re writing on that stupid napkin?

The morning show producer - (smiling ear to ear) Our minutes of meeting. The list of remuneration package that we’re gonna ask from **** and *******.

The assignment producer: On that? You’re gonna hand our dealing points on a piece of napkin?

Everyone - Hahahahaha!
