this place is elixir..heaven..couldnt have imagined a better place for myself..seriously when i passed out of university and i thought where do i see myself one year down the line, i never even imagined this would be the answer. i mean, come on, its me. i was never the career minded, ambitious, over achiever and to get this place for office was the last thing i expected to happen to me. it beats your corner-cubicle-with-windows-overlooking-marine-drive any day.
dont even know how to begin describing the beauty of this place and its location. i guess the first thing to mention is that when we send out an ad next time to recruit new people, "wanted brilliant ppl with excellent academics and interested in..blah blah" we should add a criteria "please dont be tall..er..our top guys are short and we dont want then straining their necks to speak to you..so if you are above 5'10", go take a hike. we are not interested."
yeah..how would the guy stand with his held high if he goes beyond that height..the total height of the office is just that plus a couple of inches. go walk on the ramp dude.
and just for our convenience, the AC is so close..its in our face...and im not saying this for effect..its actually in our face..maybe they thought when we are bored or in the dumps, we could just look right in to the air vents of our AC and whisper our thoughts to the cold-air-spitting beast..ACs that double up as shrinks..who could have thought of that...the brain work of my boss..am i impressed or am i impressed?
coming here is like some adventure sport...climb steep, dingy terrains..slippery floors..make your way through a maze of obstacles...manouver through animals of dangerous species and finally come to this office which can easily classify as a venue for holding world rock climbing championship. and even after this if you havent satiated your adventure thirst, start using a computer..that normally very dull and boring looking task suddenly takes on the avatar of this exciting and adrenalin pumping adventure, when you know there is no earthing in the office and every PC is a dare...not just a routine machine where till yesterday you spoke to your friends and socialised..and ofcourse worked occasionally.
and then (yeah here come the topping on the dessert) hunt for water..yes hunt! and if you arent the skilled hunter, then for you we have the pond from where all the animals drink but im sure your pet dog would refuse that water. (come on, being a dog doesnt take away the right to hygiene...working here does). (and yes..i brought all this upon myself..thank you!)
and i dont even want to start on the net access...i have tears welling up in my eyes right now...sob sob..stop laughing..friends are very important in life..never under estimate the importance or necessity of a good social life and true friends..(the friends in need types)..how should i connect to the world? the global being that i am..
so, at the cost of repetition, when i thought last year, where i see myself in one year's time..i couldnt have asked for a more thrilling job place..(i still dont know about my job..im trying to figure out what im supposed to do..really i am..and ive figured out that surfing the net is not in my profile...a good start..the rest too will come about).
till then im very happy with the place..im basking in the glory of the results of my own decisions. and the latest decision is that i need to out source the decision making..any takers?
P.S.: if a person is known by his work place, im the meanest, lowliest labourer. :(
