Bizarre display of wit!!

Imagine you are all alone in your office in the eleventh floor of a 20-storey building. Your brand new Tag Heuer reads 01:45 AM. The office management personnel are very particular about electricity wastage. All lights are switched off except the one directly above your balding head, radiating the room with a faint brightness due to the reflection of the light off your head. You have not stayed so late in office ever before. After being here a full 8 years, the job stress has started taking its toll on you.

When you joined the firm, all pastures were green and nothing could have been better. A new job always has its store of advantages, outnumbering the disadvantages. The people at the new firm would never come to know how incapable you have been in the previous employer's firm and other information capable of keeping you unemployed for the rest of your life. But here you are, boasting a highly responsible position, earning enough to spend lavishly and still have money left to stuff all your orifices with gold. You have been happy all the time, except one nagging thought that has accompanied you all these 8 years.

And tonight will be Judgement Day. You are resolved to unravel the mystery tonight. At 6 PM, when the last few colleagues started to leave, they shot furtive glances back and forth, unable to find the reason for your unusual presence in the office. You have not told them yet. That can wait. This needs to be announced to those lesser mortals only by someone like you.

When the sun was retiring for the day, you started seeing the first signs. And as darkness was creeping in, it was happening!!! At this time of the night, it's normal. Everyone knows that. You decide to wait. You wait for the dust to settle down. As your Tag Heuer shows 10:00 PM, you know it is happening big time!! But still you decide to wait. It's not time yet.

Now its almost 02:00 AM. You have been witnessing it all. And then suddenly without any precaution, it hit you!!! YOU KNEW IT!!! You had the answer to why the adjacent 18-storey Citibank building never had any of its lights switched off, why their workforce was interchanged every 8 hours, why they had no dormitories for employees who stayed late and a host of other 'why's. The surge of relief you felt was fathomable, given that you have been pondering this for over 8 years.

Your heart beats faster. You are pleasantly surprised by your unusual wit in deciphering this. You had to write this down, in case your memory fails unpropitiously. You take the felt-tip pen and scribble down in the notepad.

" The Citi never sleeps."
