So Finally the long awaited rains in Bangalore are here..and so are the not so awaited power cuts. Funny aint it how our system works. Rains or no rains power cuts have become an integral part of our lives. Jut like our daily meals. The power goes off daily 3 times. Once for Breakfast, then for luch and then for dinner, and if at all it does night shift, it goes off for a midnight snack. And I thought it just survives on Water.
While it had been raining outside this week, it had been raining inside our office as well. Rain of a different sort. The one which nobody enjoys. Well its been competitive everywhere with all the economic downturn and all. But when it starts taking the juice out of you then it means it time to halt, look back and start all over again....nah.It means its time change jobs. So , anybody with a good offer with a special clause stating "ONLY 8 hours of work", please please let me know.
Remember the ad where the sun just sucks the juice out of the kid while playing cricket and comes back home all worn out, I feel the same when the folks in US and a few people back here take the juice out of me with their requests which even they cant comprehend and i ultimately end up home good for nothing.And i dont have my mom here who can prepare a glass of Glucon D for me like in the ad. I consider Preparing a glass of juice cooking and i dont cook. So i dont venture into the Kitchen area much. And finally at the end of the request they have these 4 most dreaded words..."ASAP". In our office it just does not mean "As soon as possible " but "As soon as possible Yesterday".
And yea, amidst all this work they also give us long weekends once in 3-4 months. This time being Memorial Day in US . Friday is given off so that we can bug other people by blogging and Monday, which is when the Memorial Day is observed ,is given a holiday in India to fill yourself with enough juice for the next round of juice sucking.
Anyways I have exams coming up in next 2 weeks. I have been stuck with CA since the time i remember. Its kind of become a hobby for me to collect the Income tax books every year with the latest amendments. I have lost count of the the number of IT books i have.And the best part is they are still all brand new.....Damn!!!

Well i can picture ur bosses sucking work outta u jus like in tht ad.....seems like ur having a real tough time at work.....when u say this i wonder what will happen when i take up a job....As of now CA itself has become a huge hurdle....n to think tht after ur done with the studies...its gonna get worse when u work.....the thot is not so appealing....better to be a kid....hmmmm
Hey Ayshu.. true its always better to be a kid..Wish the life cycle could be the other way around.like in Benjamin Button..that way we could enjoy all the money we earn when we are kids..and also you wouldnt have to worry about being a CA.. You would already be born a CA..what say?
oh yeaaa......that would be real nice
Thanks for stopping by my Blog...My ex boss was a @#$%^&..True once u start working life totally takes a huge turn..
**And I thought it just survives on WaterThats goes more for UPS batteries ;-) tho i share the same grief of constant power shut downs here. To top it all theres a 42 degree outside and obvsly no sign of rain. i hope u feel better now :-p
Tabitha..Thanks so much for stopping by. hope you are enjoying your current job. and dont forget to keep me posted on any good offer you come across and yea of course with the 8 hr clause in it ;-)
@Zainab... 42 degrees?? Whew.. You'ld be saving a lot of energy back there by not using heating appliances. You would just have to keep everything outside for heating;-)...thanks for stopping by and do visit again.
