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.

Birthday and Relatives

According to the lunar calendar, Oct 26, 2013 was my birthday. So my grandmother did pooja that morning and I got to eat my eggs with bacon and a side of suji ka halwa.

I had to go to the parlour for my haircut as my mother pointed out that I was due for one. I arrived late to my job as I had previously informed them about it.

It was a slow day for me since I didn't have any major work that day. Why do we have a six day work week? What's wrong with the five day work week? Everybody had stuff to do on the weekends. I can't do any of those errands because I only get Sunday off. It's very annoying.

I wish I had a job that only required a five day work week. I don't mind working late as a compensation for two days off.

I wish I knew what job makes me happy and where I can excel. These days everybody has so many options for a career. Previous generations didn't and so they picked and worked. I have too many choices and I still can't figure it out.

My parents say it's ok to be confused but I think I'm too confused. Maybe I don't' work as hard. Maybe I'm lazy. Maybe I still haven't found what I'm suppose to do. Let's see what happens at the end of my probation which got extended to another three months. Of course there were projects in progress so that's why it got extended. Otherwise the projects would get stuck in limbo and my boss wouldn't like that.

Today some relatives came over for lunch and my mother's colleague and his family. I was very happy to see my cousin and his wife. There currently since this city since my cousin's job has posted him here for two months. I am also looking forward to meeting my brother who is coming next month for a very short visit due to his visa expiring. He can't take a longer vacation since his company is laying people off and they are short staffed. I wish teleportation or appariting or using a portkey was possible in this day of age. 

Beam me up, Scotty
