~~~Task Delivery~~~
Just two weeks in hand and you are pulled for some critical project in crucial timeline to develop late CR…tremendous pressure of completion of work in crunchy deadlines. Off-course when one is being pulled as a fire fighting resource there are always expectations of quality work and default thoughts –‘you will be meeting targets!’ At other end of life so many troublesome situations waiting for you…at work you cannot concentrate… and yet people keep on banking on you. Knowingly-unknowingly they ignore your initial unawareness of work and keep you moving saying next time this will be accomplished, and you can do it, we know that. In status meetings people hold you, set expectations about work ; revise timelines and off course remind - you’re IT professional (that says all-- what I meant!)
Yet, few things just don’t make you move ahead. The moment you ponder on work, you realized other complexities in the tasks involved, now there is a week ahead for delivering the work to client and you dig out some other pitfalls and start designing the solutions to catch up the targets. Again and again, incredible deadlines and in between your personal front demands you to take vacations in same timeline. What more could be more taxing while working at such vital point?
Yes, you have to compromise vacation nights to meet the deadlines and balance personal life, somehow you bring up the work in shape, and still few minute things turn entire code-show flop. In such cases, there are no other options but to spend weekends from your pocket and try giving Midas touch to the code. Not for your name, responsibility shown on you but for the time you have been pulled in and the zeal of working in a way to add meaning to your days.
Somehow you could not sleep for the days when things were not falling in place; you kept on getting dreams where some geeks give you tips of how one could be happy with work done. You cannot see any personal front nor could you make your face pale with any other difficulties. Although beloved once called you to check how you’re with rest other difficulties, but you keep on discussing about your work. The only thing in your life remained for a certain timeline is…accomplishing work with zero defects!
Finally after couple of nights and early mornings, day arrives; you have done almost everything possibly you could. Now it’s a time to relax and have coffee with soothing music but its already a late night... rather, early morning… The city is awake and getting engaged with daily routines but you are falling asleep…

Bureau jerky!
Although I have not change my working-firm till now. For sure I have changed enough work locations being in same office premises. My manager made sure, even if I don’t get change in terms of work that I may desire for, I definitely get to explore many desks along with new people, bay’s and get to travel all towers that my company posses! (I guess that is how he made sure, his every resource gets some or other kind of change in his/her career!)
I always find moving from one work-place to another is just fun and keeping me alive. (Now don’t say – this is what gypsy’s love about!!). This gives me some kind of new environ and colors to breathe for.
At least this time I was hoping to see some nice faces around. But look what my so called *** manger did to me? He put me in a place where he can see my face as and when he wants to and jeer at my every activity possibly he can, especially my cell phone and texting activities (when I am smiling the most at my work station and he is most envy about.) This is how he made sure to evaluate me in every review than reading my mails and judging my real work. Yet, I am v. sure he will read this blog and do some rational evaluation over coffee :).
So coming back to a point of shifting from one location to another, I was amused to see who my new neighbor is. The one with whom I fought (and fighting) the most since I had join the firm is gonna be my closest neighbor now onwards. This made me realize, I need to work (pretend) in very much workaholic mood to avoid all the fumes that will raise during office hours and should not expect like other S.E.’s- office could be my second home and I should be logging there for some life. Rather I should be treating this place like Kashmir and always be vigilant. What else worst can your boss do to you? When I asked him the explanation – the answer I got was very diplomatic from official front and I could smell the real reason – he wanted to have live entertainment and stop my non-sense creative activities. But this is not gonna stop my blogging ever! And this will disclose (mine and apparently all surrounding malaga’s) office life in public now on-words…

job - life!
Once the market is up most of the S.E.’s start switching the job and there are hundreds of convincing reasons to change the job. Few of them are -
i. The existing job is not providing you growth opportunities (in terms of mostly money but to mention it is role, working place, etc etc)
ii. Existing job is just su***** and manager too. No good work life
iii. No work –life balance
iv. Want to change the organization due to personal preference or looking for dream job with some other so called very good brand firm
v. Bla bla bla…
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I went over with all reasons while thinking the same as above – I added few more parameters to find so called dream job:
i. Job that pays you well and gives hike and incentives
ii. Job that never evaluates and provide you hike or bonuses in terms of your band but on your performance
iii. Job that gives you ample of time to relax, learn new things and do new things
iv. Job that gives you internet facility at good speed and do not demand to use just for job growth but for any other relevant purpose that you find it to be right!
v. Job that gives you time and fresh mind to blog :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then I sat back to find what my job should give me however it turn out to be a thought –
In every market boom I will try changing job since –
i. This is not at all a job that I ever think of working for
ii. This is not at all a company that will ever think of making me their stake holder
iii. I love my job till the time I get acquainted with problems and people
iv. I love my job the most when I get to explore new things which are totally out of scope w.r.t. job that I work for or get to blog
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With these, parameters remain – to change the existing job are:
i. “People along with problems” I want to know and form new network with
ii. Money that keep me a-live and pays me to keep some other alive..
