All's well that ends well ( A short story)

Rajesh goes to the gate of a company office and informs he has been called for interview. He is interviewed and informed that the recruitment process is on fast track. The fast track is the drive way between the gate and the reception. Rajesh is informed that if he is able to run across he will be considered medically fit and given the appointment letter. Once he is given the appointment letter he is told he has been allotted to a project. The seat allocated reads KZ-XY-TEMPN where Z, X, Y and N are variables. Rajesh is infomed that as the situation is dynamic the seat will change depending on requirement.Rajesh is told by his colleague Ramesh  "FYI Apply for seat using  Allocation System using UN and do any AOB before COB". Rajesh replies "Sorry I not know the Acronyms you will learn with time". He is informed Call 1234 for Helpdesk, call 5678 for office services send mail to hrhelpdesk for HR send XXXpayroll for payroll. Rajesh asks "Is there one number to call?". Rajesh is informed "Please go to KB1-P1 for a training". "Where is this?" Rajesh asks, he is politely informed "Currently since all meeting and training rooms are busy we decided to have the work Procedure training in the Basement 1 parking which is KB1, P stands for pillar no. 1. Rajesh is confused "Oh but I received a training invite from YGC and HR at the same time which one should I go to I accepted for both". "Offcourse work procedure". "I need a ASAP called ABCD installed ASAP". "what is ASAP?" Rajesh asked. Rohit informed "It's programs which are used here, I think its Always Be Silent and Patient because this is what you need to be to use them". On searching Rohit realised "There is no such program available looks like the program list was copied from some other project and forgot to remove ABCD. Anyway no problem."
Rajesh tried to talk to chief Ramesh but throughout the year Ramesh did not get time to meet him. Final scene Annual Review - Rajesh "I wanted to tell you something but we never got a chance to meet". "What is it?" asks Ramesh. "I had come for interview for the company which in adjacent building. I tried to tell you this many times but never got the opportunity. I went through work procedures, Instructions, software, .....participated in several club activities, I am gllad that I came to the wrong address. Ramesh exclaimed "Oh what a coincidence a candidate of the same was to come for interview but on a different day never got a chance to ask you why you came on a different date for the interview".
