Top Ten Signs that You love your Job!

or as my clever close friend Santa calls me, WORKAHOLIC!

1. You leave a mattress and pillow in your office but never get around to use it. Because you are busy, you know... working.
2. You leave a set of clothes in your office. Or like in my case 3. What?? a set of formal, casuals and an Evening dress just in case I get invited to a party (umm ok, that is never happening)
3. You leave matching shoes for the above said clothes. Heh!! I just proved I am a girl, yes!! pumps fist in air
4. Opening a desk drawer will lead you to find enough junk food stash to survive an apocalypse.
5. Restaurant door delivery guys get confused when you ask them to deliver to your home address. I got a "But Madam, you are never there. Are you sure, you are there??" #facepalm.
6. You give your office address to your friends when they want to send you something, just because the courier guys can never find you at your home no matter what the delivery time is. #truestory.
7. You remember all your work passwords but can't remember your home WiFi's password, even if your life depends on it.
8. Your desk drawer is a mini-library of legal and work procedure books.
9. Your coffee-maker-turned-tea-steeper breaks down every two weeks and the service guy asks you to stop abusing it.
10. You breakdown and have to get medicated for depression when you take a "voluntary" work break of a 3 days. SOMEBODY-KILL-ME-KNOW!!!

Feels Hard but have to....

If u wanna be with me, Baby, there's price to pay...

Hey u there... Listen!

I am in action...

Enough of your rules!

I have got my own Tools...

:-) had a tough week.. u wud have very well realized that given my lame posts during last 2-3 days... was handling two Training programs not to mention various business meetings and review programs... went into a sort of depression and realized that only when tears started rolling without my knowledge...
its not yet completely over but that's life....

 :-D but wats fun was, i had to attend a training program today instead of conducting one.. it was on NLP... don't ask me wat... a trainer to say u that u need to do stuff, which u are probably doing already in ur life... Lolz... but the best part was ___________(Drum Rolls Plz)_______ the Trainer himself... Jay was completely yumm...

a total eye candy he was, i was drooling over him all along.. not to mention the heavy interaction from my side during the session, given i play the mute Rat usually in such programs... wat added spice was the fact he is a Tamil... Wah!! i was conversing personally in Tamil and others had no clue wat we were talking abt...

He He He... i am so so so  much in love with this guy... Google baba ki Jai.. now i got all details abt him including his Mobile no., address and such there-of...

but Somebody please get him a divorce, first.. you can have his wife, no issues with that... :-D

I will be okay coz I feel fine....

thanks for d calls, comments and mails, amigos... but seriously i am fine...

was overwhelmed with the support.. Wookie and Shesha insisted that i continue my dance classes, when i was all for bunking it till i felt better... M called up and insisted that i leave for home immediately ( he sent home the point by mailing the same in next half hour)... R and MJ for trouping into my cabin, giving me a warm hug and sitting there silently while i ranted out everything... YA for numerous gtalk pings.. JD for calling up even though he was busy with his wedding preparations, which is tomm... PK for dragging me into her shopping spree and make me buy a couple of Khadi Handloom stuff...  Rosh, Anki, Saim and Ash for their prayers... Ravi for shaking a finger at me and warning no more cry posts..

Pop is lot better now and is back to work... he has been scheduled with further treatment on my birthday.... Great, just great... but thats ok.. the treatment is lot more important..Shesha has promised to travel down to be with my parents... i am going down home btw Christmas holidays, coz thats the earliest i can avail my leave...

Mom is worried about me now.. getting constant calls and texts.. think, i shudnt have cried over phone.. they are stunned to hear me cry after 6 yrs...last time i cried, i think, was when i was stupidly involved in an accident during my 12th class and ended up in hospital for months... :-) he he he..its funny to think abt it now...

_________________________________________________________________________________

in all this juncture K and L haven't yet bothered to ask wats wrong... not that i care anymore...the drift btw me n K is getting wider day after day.... dunno how we are still sharing the same roof over our heads... its always  iPod over my ears and L by her side... we don't even discuss stuff related to house now...

_________________________________________________________________________________

i have put hold on all plans for the party... i may go on a simple get-together-over-coffee rather than a full lunch bash i had planned for... Wookie and his friends are having a party @ Chennai on the D-Day... but Wookie will take care of that.. so no frills there.... R went bang-bin-bang wen i said, i had canceled the party... i may end up beaten.. save me ppl... :-P

Wishes for B'day have started coming.. but i really don't have the idea why this early.. is there a hidden agenda???? Beats me... 

_________________________________________________________________________________

 Quality months come to an end this 30th.. i have to judge a couple of Essays, Slogans and Posters, all on quality... the Quiz competition went fine.. but not as good as it used to be in college... my Compering skills didnt help either coz the response was very poor from Colleagues... only a handful turned up... Daang...

The winners are getting ludicrously beautiful gifts that i wish i had been a participant instead of playing the host.. but thinking again, i was the one who chose the gifts rite?... he he he

_________________________________________________________________________________

Missed d company Vehicle yday morning.. actually over slept.. tot will come in private bus... heck i forgot its Election season and inter-district transport is not allowed... Daang.. i, anyhow waited for an hour and got one... a mini van posing as Bus... my dear sweet poor knees.. throbbed with pain all day.. doc warned not to stress it, as d ligaments are still weak and i have stopped my steroids... :-( and above this a fellow commuter and the driver tried to act fresh with me.. i played dumb and kept quite.. it was me against a whole van of guys.. Scary.. i am not repeating this again... Daang...

And yeah.. its d election day tomm...  ppl have warned me not to be out my room... it will be real Show tomm with all the party agents and stuff... Daang again....

_________________________________________________________________________________

 i have two deadlines and a week long training program in the offing.. don't ask me, then wat i am doing online.. i am taking hours to complete this post.. the power of multi-tasking... this will be the third training i ll be organizing.. that too on my fav subject, Business Models.. i am all excited..

_________________________________________________________________________________

i have been asked to be off Chocolates by my Doc... Choc is my migraine trigger and as winter has started, Doc has advised to go slow and strict on my diet... i have two boxes of dark chocolates and a box each of Nestle Milk chocolates and Dairymilks.. is anyone ready to take it off my hands.. its really tempting and the stock is not exhausting even after giving away most of them to random colleagues... they are suspicious that how can a Choc addict like me can willingly give away chocs... Daang.... like i am willing to do it.. i am being Pushed ppl....

_________________________________________________________________________________

i am not writing for NANOWRIMO even though i started... why?? coz i killed away my Heroine and made d romantic story into a murder thriller.. and i don't like wat i have written even a bit... Daang Daang Daang...

_________________________________________________________________________________

and yeah.... i got my Bday dress... purchased it from Fabindia.. the collection was named  as Teen India... as PK pointed out i am no more a teen, passed that period years ago.. yet i like to thrive in d teen feeling, so got it... He he he... and the other two are the handloom material i got at a local Handicrafts exhibition...

 Talking about dresses, i got a silk bandhini material as Diwali gift from a cousin... had got it stitched into a suit... now i am working with some brocade, glitters and beads on it.. was reminded of the days wen i designed whole Saris with thread, bead and embroidery work while in college... hope my creativity hasn't died out yet... will upload a pic wen i am done... _________________________________________________________________________________

 Will end here i think.. this bar of Milk chocolate near my key board is tempting me at large...blas·phe·mous...

Ouch that was a very long post..... :-P

and yeah, Wookie threatened that if i mention him anymore he will take over my blog.. so i expect some hacking in next few hours... :-P   and of course... have u given a thought about this....

_______________________________________________________________________________

Lunchtime conversations...

d Rat: Talli hua talli hua... yaaron dekhon talli hua... (i got drunk i got drunk.. see friends, i got drunk) (random Hindi song)
M : D was only there for 15 min with u and i can see d effects...
D : Why are u pulling me into Rat's madness...
d Rat: (looking at D) Bewda tumi ho...(you are the drunkard)  (another random Hindi song with my own lyrics)


Everyone burst out laughing.... :-P  yeah yeah Rat is trying to sharpen her funny bone.... Failing miserably most of the times...

de baba.. de de baba...

a month back i broke my glasses... i didnt think much about it then as i was sure i will get a similar piece... it was a mettalic-pink one... but much to my chagrin i am not able to find a similar one... the shop keeper's argument Mam "that was custom made for you, as u demanded that exact shade".. WTF if it was custom made on my demand request why can't they make it again.. its me demanding requesting again rite???

Wat more... having a tough time at work and while driving... its a real pain to read smaller fonts and pages with bright backgrounds... no siree, i am completely unable to see wat u are projecting on that overhead projector.. sorry my glasses quit working for me right at this time...

Driving is more fun as hardly a day goes without me getting into a tiff with some random guy.. all i can guess is bright lights approaching from opposite direction.. d vehicle is to be assessed only wen it comes very near me and by that time either of us wud have bumped into each other... no matter who bumps the other person is subjected to my colorful language damaging all his assets... yes siree, wat?? oh u say dont you have left and right side at my place?? no siree traffic rules are something that is gone with the wind here... :-|

to rub in more salt R quips in daily, "its a good thing that now u dont see the world with your pink glasses..."

Grrrrrrrrrrrr... i am gonna get him back for this sometime soon...

somebody save this poor blind girl...

My first Glass - i broke this too..

 

My second, Pink glasses - met the same end...

 

Now u say.. which one suits me better....

i got the ground under my feet... atlast...

Atlast...... we have this monthly business presentations and i started giving my Dept's since Feb.... eventhough i am strong footed while presenting i always got jelly legged when the confrontation part came up...

This time i let a colleague present and i found myself confidently answering the management's questions.... Whoa!! Self Patting.... now i think i can confidently face both presentation and confrontation part...

Answer this Multiple choice..

When this being event is going on at your company, u r excluded from it, and obviously some one else is taking up credit for d work you toiled for last 7 months..is it wise to...

• take d day off??
• be at office when d event is held and face d situation bravely?
• be at your cabin and sulk around with sullen faces???

its not gonna help given the conference hall, venue for the event is stark opposite to your glass cabin...

Great.. next 2 days are gonna be my hell...

Me and my Boss....

╔ ★ ॐ ♀ ♪ ☆ ╗
This happened a year back, When i had just joined my company...
The President of the company called me, to change my division and i was supposed to report directly to him starting then...

OKK : Chalo, You have to give me a detailed report every second day.. Give me your Mobile Number...
Yours truly had forgot her phone at home...
Rat: (Sheepish Grin) I don't Know, Sir...
OKK: What? you don't know your own number??
Rat: (Wider Sheepish grin) Actually, i remember others number not mine.. i give them missed call...
OKK: (Bewildered looking..) You are the funniest girl i have ever met... (Obviously thinking, if he made mistakes in recruiting me..)
Rat: (Even Wider Sheepish grin)

╔ ★ ॐ ♀ ♪ ☆ ╗
One Late Evening... I was running to catch the conveyance to home...Suddenly a car stops by and i hear...

"Hope in, Baby!"

I turn around to see my Pres grinning at my predicament... Ouch...

╔ ★ ॐ ♀ ♪ ☆ ╗

I got a personal invite from him for his son's marriage...So i land up in a smart denim skirt, turtleneck tee and matching jacket...

OKK: Hi.. Straight From Office???

Yours Truly was not introduced to the eternal skills of dressing up for party , Make-up art and connected skills... Come to think of it, i still am a non-starter in that field...

╔ ★ ॐ ♀ ♪ ☆ ╗

This is wat happened today...

What exactly will u do...

• When u come really late just in time to get the bus to office and are said" BS, You came very early today.."
• When your best friend calls up screeming "my Idiot room-mate locked me inside and went off.. i have a meeting in office in another 10 min..."
• When your colleague comes to discuss something and goes point blank just looking at you...
• When u came to know that your dear room-mate of 4 years in coll, who you tot as child calls u up and says she is in LOVE and even advises u on Love issues...
• When suddenly at 4 57 pm you realise its weekend tommorrow...

Yippppppppppeeeeeeeee.... me signing offfff....

Om Shanthi Shanthi Shanthi he he he he....??

Some of the aasanas i'll like to do....

• When my boss is blasting me off , that too in front of the whole committee - i feel like doing Pranayama .. but all i end up doing is Uttanasana..
• The one i do when the Deadline date was one week back.. Yogamudra..
• I end up doing Bhagaritasana when my Appraisal form is on my boss table...
• The one i do when my boss gives me job like get the ice cube from Thaar Desert and/or build a Camp fire at Serbia - Ado-muka-shvanasana
• Would like to do this asana at Droning Lectures and training Sessions- Stress Yogasana.. Alas! the Faculty are more tactful than us..
• And my favourite - at the end of the day, actually everyday... Savasana...

Om Shanthi Shanthi he he he he....

Topsy turvy...

As MJ said sumtime ago "I killed 5 House-flies.. 3 Female and 2 male... 3 were on phone and 2...."

But is that true.... Come break/Lunch time or any free time i get to see MJ , SG and N number of other guys on phone @ my office.. talking to their girlfriends, fiancee, wives, mistresses etc etc..
They even give me a complex and make me seriously think about my social life...

Now i stare at my mobile trying to find what exactly is the prob..

Network... Full
Balance... Rs. 700+
Friend list... Hanuman's Tail

Then What EXACTLY is the PROBLEM.....
@#$%^&*!

BS: OOps... Dont do that.. burnt my fingers making sandwich today morning...
NS: Oh OH... Clumsy Girl... How will you manage after marriage??
