I’ve always wanted job that’d make me travel a lot .. At least for the initial few years! Make me live out of my suitcase!! Few months here .. then somewhere else…you know, take me places. Well..err.. To an extent my wish was granted! I now travel 50kms every day (one way!) to work. Am out 14-15hrs a day practically every day of the week! Talk about being constantly being ‘on the move!’. Come to look at it what we do is almost slavery right!! We have almost fixed working hours! Get paid peanuts, are constantly being watched. Have our bags checked every time we get into the building.. wait in the queue for long hours for food. We’ve all become corporate whores! I recently had my appraisal! Well.. I got a band below what I deserved.. Why?? Coz I couldn’t live up to the ‘perception’ that I had created for myself. Means I may have worked the same way as the guy who got a band above me but then since I hadn’t performed to my ‘so called potential’ I lost out!! Hmm .. Shit happens I guess.. (Yea pangs .. u wipe it and move on! ) The last 2 weeks being hectic is an understatement! I slept for little over 5 hrs each day .. spend 15hrs in office…18 hrs outside my house! Its not like this all the time agreed.. But then in essence it’s the same!! Yes, I wanna get out alright but then my qualification would get me jus similar kinda jobs .. even if the pay increases!! I belong to the wild .. If u getting my drift!! I need to be let myself loose .. meet lotta people .. do something creative, may not necessarily be the arts.. In fact better not be the arts.. I suck at that!! I’m still searching for my calling. So its high time I get my ass off this chair and do some serious thinking..something radical. Out of the box!! Be more proactive .. take my destiny in my hands .. steer my own ship ..I NEED TO ACT .. NOW!!! Hmmm .. ah screw it .. got all the time in the world .. maybe tomorrow …

@ Sid: Dude, I’d suggest u make this a private post, owing to the fact that people are always reading more and more blogs and I know quite a few people who’ve had it work to their disadvantage coz their employers came across their blog.
!
Just a note that’s all.. Ranting is all good!!
!!
And haan baba, I understand whatcha mean
!! But, then take life chill man. Yes, u are working like a slave, however, are u getting the satisfaction of the job is the question?
If ya don’t well then buds, it’s time to move on I am realising that slowly

@Sid I for one know THIS JOB isnt my calling (that’s why I’m trying for this Business Analyst kinda post even though it’s gonna take me away from Hyderabad) but I’ve decided NOT to let my life revolve around work! I’ve decided to do stuff that I like…will letya know once I’m done!

Dude I too would advice you to make this a private post. It could come back to haunt you. pangs ur right, over here career advisors say that you shouldnt put anything up that even has a resemblence to bitching!!
But I know what you are going thru! Felt the same way while I was working too.
