Job Life

--Job Life gives you (almost) zero time to blog.
--Mornings on the job are most productive. After lunch, drowsiness takes over. (The sumptuous free lunch at office is to blame.)
--Flexi Timings are a boon. Sleep till 9:30 am and reach the office at 10:30.am. You are still in 30 mins before your boss. ;)
--Lunch at 1:30 pm daily. Now look at the previous two statements and decide for yourself.
--Job Life isn't totally disconnected from College life.
a) The college lingo stays. You get to hear 'seriously', 'obviously', 'actually' and the ilk very very frequently.
b) People still need just the slightest excuse to demand (and take) treats and parties.
c) Sex Ratio is as skewed as it is at IIT's.
--Job Motto : Work Hard, Party Harder.
--You cannot chat that frequently with friends. But you itch to do so.
--Job gives you a reason to talk to just people you want to. If you don't feel like, you can always tell them you are busy.
--Company's laptop has a zillion apps running on it at the same time - Secure Vaults, Backup Softies, Encryptors... What not!!! Damn irritating....
--The worst part about it are the Hazaar passwords.
--Listening to songs on the job is a great way to relax.
a) Your boss will think twice before he disturbs you.
b) You get to make people believe you are actually seriously working.
--It's hard to make friends in your team. It's everybody for him/herself.
--You ought to smile/laugh for some dumb (Dumb as Dumb can get) jokes. Must be careful not to hurt anybody's feelings. Mind you, It's real Hard.
--Etiquette, Decorum, Team Ethics..... Aaahhh!!! So many formalities. Well at least I get to dress up informal.
--8.5 (8 + .5 for lunch) hours of Office daily. 8 hours of Sleep. That's my Weekday.
--5 days of office. 2 days of Rest/Lazing around at home. Week goes by pretty fast. Weekend moves even faster. Life's picked up a great deal of pace, it feels. It's quite nice working and earning and being self sufficient.
--Am I satisfied??? For now, YES. But I got to study further and the plans need to be made and executed. Wish me Luck........

Dude... gotta see ya blog after so many days !!.. nice.

Except for "SUMPTUOUS FREE" lunch and sleep till "9:30", much of the job life is almost similar...
But ..
Though not completely disconnected to college life, yet very different from the same...

Wish you good luck for success..
