RANDOM THOUGHTS - 2

Since I haven’t written for a while I thought I’d drop in a few points about some things that run through my mind but which in effect make no sense or are just not worth bothering …

P.S - this is my worst post ever

1. If I were in your shoes/place : Now we’ve all come across this situation where you are in a predicament or in the middle of a problem. In more informally “formal words” you have got yourself stuck in depth in some fecal remains. So there we are… Wondering what to do..whats next, when someone comes over and says (please read in a deep voice) “Hey..if I were in your place.. “.. Here you are trying to solve some issues of your own and you have to add to that someone’s imaginary problems??? Comon..think about it.. All these “if”s are just a whole lot of imaginary scenarios which gives the speaker never dreamt of powers.. But never tone it down.. If I guy is looking for a chance to boost his ego, let him do it..poor soul… And then pray that he never does be in your place.. Or if you’re a sadist pray that he does.. Look at it this way. If the “if” made any sense I’d just walk over to my boss right now and say “Hey, if I were in your place I’d give myself a raise”.. But funnily enough doesn’t work that way..

2. Assumptions: People are born with these.. The baby assumes he’s giving us a fun time.after a while he doesn’t realize we are thinking “if I were in your place I wouldn’t be so mean”. The lower primary kid thinks he’s the smartest guys around and all those people who are older are just too dumb to understand that. The high school kid thinks he’s the coolest guy around and assumes he understand what’s happening in class.. The college guy thinks pretty much the same thing along with that funny idea that he knows what he wants in life (and wife).. I haven’t gotten very far past that point…So if I update this in 40 years or so, I’ll fill in the rest of a human cycle. So people assume.. Just like I assume I have readers.. So there’s no point being bothered about assumptions. Positive assumptions are always great.. Keeps u boosted for no particular reasons. But then again negative assumptions are fine until it becomes a surety.. coz then it isn’t an assumption anymore… A fact is harder to handle… And I’m just assuming all this made any sense..

3. Selflessness : ah! Yes..this is something I consider very funny.. Let me put it straight. There’s not one person in this world who has done anything without having their own interest in mind. Not me, not you and not Edward of Twilight fame! :P.. I know you can quote hundreds of instances of selfless acts by people, by famous personalities but for each instance I can break it down so that it shows the selfish nature of humanity. Even leaders of mass organizations are in effect working for personal gains. Agreed, others gain by it too.. But that’s where I draw the line between the word definition of selfishness and my definition of selfishness.

SOME QUOTES :

1. "Its not about what you do its about what you say."

2. Please generalise this one to your comfort : "They think everything is about them and when it actually is, they just don't get it"

3. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"

Ok..Frankly I’m totally out of ideas..!! If I were in your place I’d just read all my older posts but then again……… :)

My Regular Day

My next planned blog was supposed to be something serious. But I couldn’t help writing this one!!

A day at work (where I currently am)..

A day at my work(which excludes Thu-Fri) can be defined in a very logical manner and a perfect algorithm. Funnily enough coz the work I do requires neither logic nor an IQ for that matter. So here’s how it is

Step 1 : Access Client system
Step 2: Check number of tickets
Step 3 : Detect processible ticket while wondering about all the other ones which are just lying in your bucket for days…
Step 4: Open ticket
Step 5 : Open authorization form
Step 6: Check signature
//The most complex part comes here at which point my brain creaks into motion//
If form has all necessary signature create/change/remove/do something! to user ID
ELSE reassign to respective people.
Step 7 : Goto Step 1 until we have only non-processible tickets to sit and wonder about
Step 8 : Sit simply
Step 9 : Check time.sit simply
Step 10 : Loop step 8 and 9 till time = 8:00pm.
Step 11 : Leave to die of boredom another day.
Its fun… :)

The argument you may have here is that all work have this. Well I wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t for the fact that in a 7-day week (as all weeks are) I am stuck 3 days(MTW) with a floor full of similarly pissed people, 2 days(TF) with a laptop and no people and the last 2 days(Sat,Sun) with laptop and 2 people both of whom occasionally go into a volley of “enti”, “ante” and “cheppandi”! The only word catching my attention in the exchange being “Lunch” which is just the same without the laptop. Ironical is the fact that although I was taken for my analytical and communicating skills , I aint analyzing nor am I even remotely communicating!!

Imagine that! ME! Silent!! With that unbelievably pleasant thought to think about I bade you farewell.
