im gonna quit my job soon .. I’ve had enough of working in night , I want to live a standard life of working all day and sleeping through the night. well to be honest its pretty annoying to sleep in the day, it is difficult to adjust and my parents are supportive from the very start. but after losing 3 kilo’s in two months they are beginning to worry about me, my mom started blaming the night shift. i told her its got nothing to do with working in the night.
she has already told everyone in our area about working in the night., and every uncle and aunty keep asking me to take care of my health. i reach home by 7 am and its the perfect time for all the oldish and greyish people of my area to come back from their morning walk. everyday i pray that i don’t bump into them.( i have asked a billion times to my cab driver to drop me right in front of my gate, but he doesn’t do that .. i have to walk my way home, may be i shud bribe him a little for the drop til my place!!!?) it’s doesn’t stop there .. i just came down after my 6 hr peaceful nap and suddenly i heard a voice which said, “okay so ur the one who works in night ?? take care of ur health kano, working in night is really difficult ??”
Whoa where did that come from? i scan for people ..g8 my mom’s colleagues are home !! nice !! hello aunty !! (smiles or trying to smile)“u work in which company?” I work for IBM, near kormangala ! “thats a good company, whats ur job like ?” well i’m a remote support specialist aunty,“sounds cool” (ya remote support specialist does sound complicated and cool :P.)
i’m a VTU engineering student. if there is anything i learn’t under VTU, it’s 100 ways to twist the words around so that it sounds complicated, confusing and cool :P)
“night shift are difficult pa? take care?” and she went back to discuss it with my mom.
hmm mayyyyy be … i am working real hard !! may be !! when i think about it, i don’t remember working hard though. all i remember doing in office is watch movies, play games, tweeeeet, poke a few on facebook. LOL – I even take a nap for 3 hrs everyday in office, well these are some of the added advantage when ur manager is not around. he leaves @ 3 in the morning. and rite after that the whole office is mine(*evil grin*). i do have a personal semi sleeper class chair, which i can push back entirely and take nap, i sleep more peacefully in office compared to my home. even watching movies is much better in office than at home, u can watch movies with ur colleagues and its a lot better than watching it alone at home. so i’ve made my own list of best/worst movies @ office, here it goes.
the best horror movie in office goes to :- Paranormal activity
the best action movie in office goes to :-The Hurt locker
the best Hindi movie in office goes to :- Wake up sid
the best Tamil movie in office:- Goa
the worst movie in office :- Pyaar Impossible
the worst action movie in office:-Armored
WTF thing about working in my company:- NO holidays for Indian festivals.
I was so very proud of the cultural diversity in India only because i used to get holidays for all festival. now no holiday for Diwali, not even for Republic day, what’s happening to india ?? when i quit this place, which i will very soon. Im gonna join an Indian company which gives holiday for all the festivals, my first question to HR is “ do we have to work on govt holidays too ???”
Or im gonna start a brand new company .. if i start a company what am i gonna name it. here are a few names. i hope im not in trouble for using popular companies name.
Prashtree, Praspro, Prashosys, Prata consultancy services and my personal favourite since i love apple .. i can very well name my company as Prapple !! Prapple sounds cool !! isn’t it ??
PRAPPLE
