My Monday....LOL

Dear bloggers, as was brought to my notice by my love, this isn’t my 100th post. I am really sorry for having said it was in my last post. I always considered the count which the blogger dashboard shows. But it isn’t in sync with the number which I see on the right navigation of my previous posts which marks it as my 94th one. I think if I edit my post and republish it; the dashboard increases the count by one. Nez…partly my fault….spare me……I am humane.

Today I was busy filling up my exit form. My organization needs to get things done ten days before my last working day. So it is time for me to go to every door and ask for a clearance signature. I am done with only two sections and tomorrow I need to complete it. So I would be using a lot of stairs tomorrow and that sucks to me. I hate stairs. It is against a Garfield-ish morale to do so. But I can’t help people who having spent almost twenty five years of their lives in this world fail to understand and comprehend the lift symbols and its movements. More than often, you can see people pressing the up-button when they want to go downstairs…..And then when the door opens, you can see that enlightened blank face with curios eyes prompting you the text “Going Down?”……..I would love to be rude but then, I have the other category of people around me, who have compassion and are kind at soul and answer with an equally logical tone “No, it’s moving up”….WOW….how helpful and informative people are. Believe me, I don’t know about you, but for me, this has been a real pain. It happens for 80% of the times I take the lifts.

As I say, that was me at work with no work. On the other side, I called the HR and he didn’t pick up. Tomorrow I shall be trying a combination of calls and messages. No offence meant….I shouldn’t expect much from a human resource. They aren’t humane…they are just a resource.

Do you believe that was what sums up today for me? It does. Life is suddenly a frozen river, waiting to melt and flow into the new lanes unaware of where it would have to go………

TT day :)

Dear bloggers and all of those who wished me luck, today was a dumb day. I was expecting the HR on the wire but today, not even a friend called me…LOL

Tomorrow is a holiday here and to make myself a little comfortable and seem like an opportunist, I take it that they would do so on Wednesday. I am not scared to lose it. If not they, someone would, someday get me what I want. It would mean a bit more of slog and I am here to do that. No point in fearing it…..some things are supposed to be hard earned….so…I wait….will update you all. I owe you that one………:)

The main event of today was Table Tennis. Yes, I love the game and I am learning it for the last two years. It is all about physics and concentration. It surprises me that back at engineering college I used to see fellows playing and always felt it was lame. And then, when I started my IT career, a senior colleague asked me if I knew the game as we were having coffee together overlooking people play. And he said “If you wanna stay in here and survive, learn that game…..it is as important as work”….and believe me, he was damn right. It is by a huge margin the only game you can play while at work, every organization has it, it is a great tool for networking too, it increases your focus and is all about adrenaline and guile. It certainly adds some action to a developer life and there are guys like me who look forward to it when they start a day. So, back to point, I played for six hours today. I don’t want to work and I guess my lead also feels the same now. I kept expecting the call and had a rough patch with my love yesterday too. Now these would justify my day today...and here it goes...three hours of TT during lunch and three in the late evenings….one hour for my lunch and one for my necessary coffee and smoking breaks...…ooppss I forgot…..add one hour for my mails and online habits…...seems I scored nine hours. Hmmm……nez…thats it about today......to Indians a very happy republic day ahead and to others, happy end-of-Monday… :)

No More Mondays

There was nothing great about today. It was a dull routine start of the week and minus the work load for me (as I have already resigned). I gave my first presentation today at work but the way it went, it seems i didn't give it at all. There were more morons than I had thought. It has been thirty days today since I resigned and till date, every day when I leave from my work place, I thank to GOD that I have resigned. They aren’t just interested in anything that has the promise of learning something new. If you push in a piece of code out of thin air to make them understand, it comes up onto their ego and you get blamed for being a show-off....how lame is that? So, I just spoke through my slides with as much detail I could. Claps always are normal I guess after a presentation. That was all about my work place today.

I came back and watched HIMYM (How I met Your Mother). I have finally reached Season 5….bad news for me. A few more episodes and I would be done and will have to wait with other fans for the next one to get aired. I am saving them as much as i can and presently am going an episode a day...thats the most i can do being a big fan. But if you haven’t watched it ever, just give an episode from season 1 a try…..my friend did and he watched all the 24 episodes yesterday……and to add on…his ringtone now matches the starting rhythm. Well, that was it…dear Monday……i am right when i say that I am no more scared of you on a Sunday……:)
