An unwanted transmogrification

I really couldn't believe this..i actually managed to find some time out to post something here cuz lately I've been as busy as a one legged bloke in an arse kicking contest & a diversion like blogging is real back breakin..should rather say hellish..
Its been two n a half months that they have literally held me captive in this heavily guarded hidey hole secluded from the city but the respite is im not alone..there are other hapless folks as well accompanying me here..I wouldn't like to do any delay in clarifying that here 'they' implies a software company n their hidey hole is nothin but their technology center n im nothin but a white collared software Er.

So finally here I am..fluky or not so fluky enough..to get metamorphosed from a not so inept electrical engineer to a total klutzy software engineer (read Tester ).. but what's even more tragic is the fact that what they call a world class professional training is nothing but a sadistic approach of the companies to develop humans into dummies & bots..expecting them to act, work & behave more like their automated softwares and demanding to get accomplished in an alien domain in a stipulated time which is just one tenth or even lesser than what it normally takes to get a hold of it...This is just one facet of it all. Add to it their gruelling schedule which forced me many times to realize that NDA really wasn't any option at all for me & not going for it was actually a good decision;-)..

Then there is the all so new n intense work pressure environment which is made to feel even worse by the presence of some commanders who I think are a hired lot by the company for the 'SCARE FACTOR'..to instil fear among the new joinees so as to squeeze the best out of them.I honestly feel they are better suited for the border side army recon..There is also an operations team to monitor our activities headed by a savage looking creature who does the unfinished tasks of such commanders..

In pursuit of customer satisfaction & delighting the customers strategy they miss out the basic fact that their employees are equally important as their customers.

To tell the truth life has been real tough in more than one ways here n im still on my way to get used to of the changes..For instance the no. of hours im sleeping a day nowadays is close to my noon siesta at home..Im eating the kinda food which I'd have given to Jimmy had I been home..

Nevertheless I shouldn't forget to acknowledge the fact that the rapport I've developed here with a bunch of guys who have gradually turned up to be real good buds has eased off many of the problems..

Earlier I used to hit life hard n now its the other way round ..life is hitting back at me from all the possible angles n wid twice the ferocity & the company n the job are cooperating as much as it can in that but im glad that its the same unaffected me, the same non chalant person which I ever have been..I really won't like to give a darn to anybody..
