Working Hard or Hardly Working!

Do you ever they an assignment which is Herculean? Well I got one. I have compare the text of two books. One is printed and one is a PDF. Both of them have the same stuff but in different order and language.

I kept trying but wasn't getting much success. Of course, my mind would wander and I would do other things. Today I tried another way and got some results except I'll be taking extra time. Hope my boss doesn't mind it. Because I know if I turn it in at this stage, I'll get a scolding for it. So better I take more time and do a better job of it.

                         

Next week is a workshop related to my field. Hope this helps me in the future. Maybe this will reinforce that I'm in the wrong field. Lets see what happens.

Coworkers: Hate or Love Them? Ok Maybe Not Love

I hate my coworkers. One is spineless. Three of them just look out for themselves only. One of the three refuses to do extra work. He'll make others do the work so that if something wrong, he's not at fault. He'll point the finger at that person and save his skin. He is one lazy ass person. most of the day, he iscplaying games on his phone and napping at the office. The next one is always looking for making a quick buck and claims bogus expenses to receieve money from the big boss. He is the big boss's pet. And the third one is the other two's friend and helps them in their schemes. Two helpers who talk way too much and loud. Two boss who don't explain everything at first and then scold for you for all the mistakes.

It's so political there. That's why I stay quiet and just focus on my work. Except I read the most boring books in the world. All academic and intellectual books. Which quite frankly I can't stand. No wonder my mind wanders off and I miss things when I'm reading them.

Maybe I have Attention Deficit Disorder. Note to self: Get my self tested.

Of Death and Benedict*

* Title from blog entry of Hunglish Girl.

I recently came across a blog entry about having a crush on Benedict Cumberbatch on Facebook. This woman wrote about having a crush while being older. I liked her perspective and read more of her entries.

Then I came across "Of Death and Benedict. Which made sense to me since I, too, have lost people in my life. Most recently my maternal grandfather. Then I heard my maternal grandmother's sister was admitted to the ICU. This morning, she died. I usually take control of my feelings, until I see the body. That's when it hits me. I'm never going to see that person ever again. I was very young when my paternal grandfather died. I do remember my uncle, paternal grandmother and maternal grandfather.

As soon as I saw the body of my grandfather or my grand aunt, tears just filled my eyes immediately. Why them? Why now? Doesn't the universe know that they are needed.

Etiquette and Common Sense

So I went and watched 2 States with my aunt. It was an awesome movie. I've read the book also.

Now in a movie theatre, your seats stick to other seats and you share the armrest with usually two people.

You can't hog the armrest. Other people also use it. Please put your phones on silent/vibrate or switch them off. I came to see Ananaya and Krish, not listen to your phone conversation or ringtone.

Standing in a line isn't very hard to. But alas, Indians can't seem to do this little task. Have patience. You will get your turn.

HIMYM

I was very impressed with the ending of the show How I Met Your Mother. Everybody is so mad at the creators for the finale.

*Spoilers*

The mother's death: poeple die in our lives. It's a part of life and nature. If we examine our own lives, we will find relatives who have died. Eventually everybody dies, so the mother dying is just another aspect of life.

Robin and Barney's divorce: Did that one really surprise anybody? Considering 2 out of 3 marriages end in divorce in the US alone. I mean Ross from Friends was divorced three times for god sakes.

The mother's limted time: Ted's whole point was to show his kids how much and how far he had to go in order to meet the mother. And now since she has been gone for six years, it's time to move on. He has always been in love with Robin. He wanted his children's' permission to date Robin since they both are the most important people in his life.

So that's why I liked the finale of How I Met Your Mother.

People Watching

So I've starting walking around my new housing complex. I see some interesting characters walking, playing, sitting and talking around the park.

Kids running around, and playing with their friends. I met the Pink Lady on my walk. Her dupatta and salawar were pink while her kurta was white. But her expression was anger or indifference, I couldn't tell. Maybe her face is just like that. I saw her today in a sari with sneakers. I would pass her several times since we were going the same path but in opposite directions. Oh well such is life.

I walk for thirty minutes and I have stopped eating street food, which is my favorite part. I'm saving my money and health. Except I love eating food but I need to exercise a lot then I can eat anything up to a point. Also I need to get rid of the pimples on my face. I mean, I have tried a lot of creams and scrubs. Plus I go to sleep late. So I am starting to make some changes. I have stopped street food, walking in the park and using some natural cream. Maybe stress is also playing a role.

So let's see what happens.

Book Fair

The book fair is finally over. Thank god because I need a break. I had to work both weekends at the book fair. I haven't had an off day since the Monday before the book fair. I am tired and in dire need of an off day which hopefully I will get soon. I did get to buy many books which I already have started reading. I would read them while I was on duty at the stall since there wasn't anything to be done until a customer came.

I was really bored but I shop for books with discounts, so I had a good time. Except it was cold and there was a eagle and a pigeon flying in the hall.

While sitting and reading, of course, my sub conscience is thinking of ideas and my favorite characters from a tv show. I can't think of full stories but small snippets or ideas keep popping up in my head. I'm no writer so I can't develop them. I try but I get blank.

Maybe someday I will develop them. Till then, happy reading to me.

Moved My Damn Cheese

So we moved into another government house. That meant no internet for a very long time unfortunately.  So I did most of everything on my phone except for blogging.

It was annoying but packing and moving was priority. Then was unpacking. I did some work in office.

I am now a permanent member of my company but I still haven't found my passion. I guess I should get some experience and venture out later when I'm better prepared.

Seriously why can't everybody have a five day working?

The weather is going from warm to cold everyday. And now rain has arrived. Rain is horrible in winter because of the cold. The roads are all muddy and sticky. My jeans gets muddy along with my shoes.

At least the book fair is starting and hopefully I will get some discounts.

New Year, New Life

So, it's a new year and I have decided to do things which need to be done.

 Like I got an appointment  with a career counselor for advice.  I did that and I discussed my qualities, likes and dislikes with my father. I hope they can help me for sake of my future. Also I need to get out of the house more and meet people. Right now, I have no time and energy but hopefully soon I will.

I need to be comfortable in my own skin. Also organizational skills are important for life.

So new tings for the new year. Let's hope it works and sticks.
