New Phase

So I have entered a new phase of my life. I resigned from my job at the publishers. My parents have supported me in this decision.

Yet I'm still confused to what I should be doing with my life. My cousin has also resigned. So at least I have company. But she had one thing which I don't have. Friends.

I find myself in a position with cousins and family friends, but no actual friends. How does an adult make friends? Where does one meet people? My school friends all have their social group and lives. I moved away for college, so I don't have friends here. 

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.

Real One

Today is my real birthday.  So here is my present from Google.  I just love it.

Also Happy Halloween from my side.

Rest in Peace Lily and James Potter. It's been 32 years but I still miss them.

Today was good and normal. No problems happened for me at work. Well, I did treat my colleagues to samosa.

Also nani had two of my favorite dishes at dinner, so I was extremely happy.  Except my dad is out of town. But it was either miss my birthday or miss my brother who is coming to visit us. It's ok since when I was in college, both my parents missed my birthday.

I'm so excited that my brother is coming. It's been at least a year since I last saw him.

So I'm having my quarter-life crisis very calmly. I like my job, but I'm not great at it. So either I take a class to improve my skills or change jobs. Oh well, let's take one day at a time with our best foot forward. At least my family supports me.

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
