Insanity at the office

Insane office again...

2007-05-15T01:22:00.000-07:00

Hellooo People.... this blog is coming back alive! I had to leave 9213(where myname?, Rancidspeak, Crimson Warrior and I was posting this blog earlier) and joined another company 31. We never knew that we all will be working together again!!!

Yes, all of us are again working together again! A friend of ours called us all to join the company he was working for and the offer was indeed good for us all to agree and join up. So we all did. What we did not expect was the amount of insanity at this place as well... and this explains why this blog has come back live. Rancid speak has already written about that today. Today's insanity is about salary. Its actually not a news that we knew only today, but I finally decided to write about it today. We aren't paid for this month yet. Well, that's not the insane part. Its about the concerned team which does not seem to be courteous. Well, Its not new that in small companies salaries and other expenses always depends on incoming revenue. And sometimes its natural that some deals doesn't come in time and salary will be delayed. This is absolutely normal. But what I expect is at least an email communication on the day prior to the salary day stating that salary will be delayed due to so-and-so reason and might take another week or 10 days.
That would have at least got the employees prepared for the delay. At least 3 out of 10 employees would have done something to survive this month. But nothing like that happened. If I call the finance guys and ask when the salary would be credited, "I'll let you know" is the answer but till now I don't know. And the funniest part is that the finance guy does not even seem to be concerned about it. With a very cool voice he says "Don't worry its not going to come tomorrow". Well then when??? If its not going to come tomorrow, its OK man.. at least don't sound irresponsible.

Well after all this I still hope that it will all change very soon(as long as I can survive till then).

Err....

2007-05-15T01:07:00.001-07:00

I have a fucking small fucking feeling that this fucking blog is fucking up again!!

Bitching

2006-04-21T04:05:00.000-07:00

Well, men bitch - period. Women normally do. Nothing wrong.

But there is a fucking limit!!

Stop bitching - men atleast - please!!

Latest news!!!!

2006-03-30T05:58:00.000-08:00

Well, you asked for it Neo.......you really did......

But its true, its been a very long time since we put in an update on the InsaneOffice blog. A lot of water has flown under the bridge since then. We have all grown older, not wiser. Guess that never will be anyways...

EnlightenedRogue seems to be bored of his work.

Me, RancidSpeak am pretty well mightily bored and want to take a break from work. Feel like going back home, taking a leave for a week, do nothing other than watch TV, listen to music and eat some home-cooked food.

FlamingCyanide is working in a different process and is kinda the only busy person now in our gang.

And for a bit o sad news, MyName? has left us all. Not to worry, he's not dead as yet, but will be joining a different job soon and will be working in a technical profile. Guess he is pretty happy on that note.....

On a smaller note, though these next are not members of this blog, they deserve special mention for their support and also for understanding what we are going through......

Playing the guitar

2005-12-13T07:09:00.000-08:00

Well, this is a pretty rancid post...but what can more can u expect from RancidSpeak...so here goes....

EnglightenedRogue and me got to talking today about guitars.....and he said he wanted one to learn how to play. Me being the most prolific player in our team after Cyanide, said that I can help him get one. The topic moved on to other things and finally ended up with EnglightenedRogue saying that he talked to Cyanide about playing the guitar on somebody.

I stop there....the rest is up to your imagination - if you have one, use it!!

War song

2005-09-29T07:34:00.000-07:00

Well I wanted to post this a couple of weeks back. Forgot all abt it. All credit to Enlightened Rogue for starting this off...and yeah please give more suggestions...Coz I can't think toooooo much more....

Addendum: And with Rancid and Rogue's inputs the last but one stanza has been changed.

Due to unpopular demand this post has been removed. Pls leave a comment to have this post to be emailed to you.

Team Outing... Another One!

2005-09-28T01:36:00.000-07:00

Well, Long time no post... Here comes another one.

After a long time, there is another plan of Team outing. 2 teams together. Well, I can say 1 team was divided into 2 and few more added to it. This is time the same crowd will go minus Neo. Rancid, Flaming and myname? will be there and along with them... I. Not sure when thats going to be. But expecting it this weekend. Will describe how it was, once back.

So long Neo!!

2005-09-15T07:03:00.000-07:00

Well, the time has come for one of us to leave this hell-hole. Well, it isnt exactly that or it is not exactly not that either......

But friends do make the place at least quite liveable....it was good fun to be on the same workplace with you, dude. The other good times out of office, having a drink, sharing a joke, talking about the Matrix...

Rock on......good luck..........

Caution on cigarette cartons....

2005-08-23T08:02:00.000-07:00

The subject is a misnomer in a way......

Well, well, had a chat with "brunettie" today on stimeame (acronym). I make a corny joke and she replies to that with a line you usually find on cigarette cartons. There is some conversation I forget just after this, but it then continues like this:

brunettie: You should not make jokes, cause joking is injurious to health...
------------
------------
brunettie: u think how?
brunettie: y should i tell u?
ME: cause u invented it......make labels, pass them around to people saying - "CAUTION: JOKING IS INURIOUS TO HEALTH!"
brunettie: y should i do it?
brunettie: im not so jobless like u
brunettie: u can do it if u wish
ME: yup, i am doing that on insane office right now
ME: thanks
brunettie: see how jobless u r
brunettie: im right
ME: yes u are right
ME: thanks again
brunettie: ur not welccome

Birth and Death of a "Mommy"

2005-08-12T04:44:00.000-07:00

All you guys know that I call the now "brunette", and who formerly was NOT a brunette, Mommy sometimes. I used to call her by this name to make fun of her because she looks more and more like a grown up woman as days go by. Anyway, the news today is... I am thinking of quitting the use of this nickname.

You know why?

Well, she calls me son now.

Human mind...

2005-08-10T04:33:00.000-07:00

Hi Guys, Appears that only I'm blogging in this for a long time now. Hmmm...., Have you guys started working or something? Any way here comes another post, about the typical (so called)humans in the office. This can also be called a Girls mind-Part 2.

These girls have a habit of complaining about others. They will never grow up. The irony is even you could be a victim. Today, one of my colleague, hmm... lets call her Monica.

Info abt the woman whom we are talking about:
Type: Typical woman
Likes: complaints(about others)
Dislikes: Complaints (about thyself)
Mind: feminine
Mental growth: Don't ask me...

Today, her victim was Kareena. "When ever she asks for a doubt she puts herself in Aux6"... Oh man... she is new... leave her alone for sometime atleast... "Oh god she is very Chalu(cunning)", "This woman is stubborn, she has learnt things even before she has come in", All these are very difficult to digest sitting in the same place. What I would say is "if she is chalu and learnt things fast, then she is intelligent than you are" and bla bla bla..... If I put the entire log.. it wont fit the blog!!!

"These woman can/will/would NEVER change"

A Girl's mind...

2005-07-29T00:55:00.000-07:00

Hi everybody, After a pretty long time I again have some interesting thing to share.

In an office, in a proffessional atmosphere, do you accept a fact of hanging your saree or dhuppatta(a towel that girls were with their salwar). Oh man, its hapening in my ofice. On top of that they call it a Blue day. "Everyone gave to come in Blue", comeon give me a break. Do we see this in any development atmosphere. Only in a typical call centre where people have no other job to do. This is not a call centre(yawk). Your thaughts have to ne matured. Can go around hanging sarees and dhuppatas allover the work place.
If thats what is is happening in my team, there is another team working hard with "blue" baloons and papers. My heart skipped a beat when I saw Myname? involved in it. He is bloody standing on a chair to fix a colour paper on the ceiling, poor dude. I pray to god that these people come back to senses very soon, Hopefully.

Moved out....

2005-07-25T07:56:00.000-07:00

Well, finally me and EnlightenedRogue have been shifted into a new building with MyName? and CrimsonWarrior.....nothing different in the work tho....same ol' crap!!

Smelly place dude.....stinks of paint and reminds me of Ramarajan.....

For those of you who do not know the above mentioned person, please contact a friend of yours from Tamilnadu, he will be able to help!!

Long time no see

2005-07-19T07:55:00.000-07:00

Seems like no ones posted on this blog for a really long time.....seems that we are actually too damn busy to do so anyway....but well, here goes....

Me, EnlightenedRogue are in the same team and getting pissed off....again!!! Life seems to pass by so damn slowly as soon as we get to work...

CrimsonWarrior and MyName? have been moved to a new building and its pretty much a nicer place tho we are not too keen in moving in there....

Yeah I know, this is a friggin lame and boring post.....but what the hell, if you dont wanna read it, dont!!!!

Screw 1 level up!!!

2005-06-24T04:05:00.000-07:00

Hi guys, Here comes another question but no rewards to the answer as it is Obvious.

What did we do to someone yesterday to straighten few things up?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Do you guys agree?

Can you buy this?

2005-06-21T04:39:00.000-07:00

Guys tell me if you can buy this for peanuts?

Pea nuts!!!

2005-06-16T04:35:00.000-07:00

Hi Guys, As you all know that we have lot of opportunities to get inspired and pen those details in this blog. Here comes another one.
As you all know I work for 9213. I have got the so called Hike. Not only me my co-workers as well. But I don't understand the motive of it. Generally in any company hikes are given as an employee retension program. But here hikes are given to boot people out of the company. I came to know that hikes are going to happen this month end. And as expected, it is happening this month but difference is instead of us its the government that's getting benefited. 9213 has given us all huge pack of what we call Peanuts. The problem is that we don't have enough bags to carry all the pea nuts. The hike amount is so much that it will push you to choose 1 among the 3 options below.

a) Leave the company
b) Leave the company
c) Leave the company

You can choose anything in this option and you will be benefited. That's for sure. I have chosen all the 3 options. Guys now its your turn. Please let me know your option in the comment that you would add.

IS THIS OUR DREAM LIFE???

2005-06-07T07:08:00.000-07:00

Before you guys start reading... Get to know a fact This blog is written by Neo.
.
.
Are we all getting a li'l sick n tired of taking calls from morons? I
certainly am......n to top it all the much awaited sip is becomin a
mirage!!!! with no respite in sight!!!! how long is this gonna
continue...........day in n day out v answer these stupid, nonsensical
callers.....with peabrains, (maybe i'm exaggerating!!! the size i mean)
Well.....now I've got something to talk about...today.....the situation in
the office today (been like this from the beginning actually) makes me wonder
about the limits of exploitation an organisation can go to..........I mean
how much can u squeeze a human being? I used to think that there's only so
much work you can squeeze out of someone....but no sir you'll be thoroughly
mistaken if you think so..........jes meet some of our top people n you'll
realize....like the story of a taxman who squeezes out a couple of drops of
lime thats fully squeezed and almost dead........our management guys can beat
them hollow a zillion times.......
For a team that requires atleast 15 our genius managers are making do with a
team of 6.........not even half the required staffing!!! can you beat that?
our plight'd put even bonded labors to shame.....
N for all this screwing......r v gettin paid enuff????? no sir...you are
grossly mistaken again, coz our company believes in taking away the perks n
privileges they give you coz its not "IN TUNE" with the market trends but
when it comes to paying they set a trend, of being one of the lowest in the
market.........of course there are a lot more companies vying for the top
slot I mean the bottom slot....n our organisation is fast approaching the
peak...oops again....fast approaching the nadir.......
n today our boss invites us to a mtng n says our figures r not showing
good!!!! not showing good......hey baby...u r showing good in ur red thongs
right??? then what will show good? v breathin our last while takin calls?
cant u f***in see that v all r bustin our asses answerin the calls from these
morons!!!?? r u so blinded by ur newfound top post!!! beware lady....u've
already stepped on ur way down by not valuing people who are working n instead takin
care of ass-kissers.........well if thats what u want....v may have to learn
new tricks, coz v aint ass-kissers....

Get Back to work...

2005-06-07T06:20:00.000-07:00

Hi Guys, How are you people? Hope things are fine with atleast you guys. I just got another inspiration to add a number to this blog. As you all know I'm a hard Worker. I work the B#$%^ out of my A$$. Not only me everyone in the team are doing something most productive for which we are paid, 'We are all on Calls'. I think it just takes a open Eye to see that everyone are on call and not dancing or fooling around. But still we have some one in the team call Tanya who just cannot see that. Her favorite little words are, "Guys there are 5 calls in the Queue". I go mad when I here that. Am I dancing or f$%^#$% around??? Am I not working?? Not Only me the entire team will be caught up with calls but still I don't understand what shuts her eyes from seeing it.
Let GOD make her understand that we guys are really working and not just walking in and out. Tanya has no better job than walking in and out or sending messages on sametime. But we are not like that. When we are damn busy with the calls where we don't even have tine to go to lunch at the right time, she comes up with S&!#. On top of al that she will invite us all on conference in sametime and expect us to reply immediately. "Cant You see that I'm on call?" I seriously want to fix this up straight. Just waiting for some things to come in handy so that my a$$ will not burn.

No comments...none at all!!!

2005-06-06T09:04:00.000-07:00

Office.....depression!!

2005-06-02T07:28:00.000-07:00

Office seems to be the reason for depression nowadays....wonder why!! I think I am on the verge of a great big depression that will wash away my will to live or come to office!!!

I was so pissed off that I was sending messages to one of my colleagues - 11thy that she should not hesitate to shoot down some people or waste them off - preferably with cyanide. Hmm, seems like they deserve a more painful death actually!! So how about letting them slowly bleed to death.

I am having daily chats with another friend of mine on depression and the art of getting through the day... Somebody give me a break and give me a month of leave!!! I NEED A FRIGGIN BREAK!!!!!!!

Or I swear, someone will face my wrath one of these days!!!!

Cucumber and secrets...

2005-05-25T07:37:00.000-07:00

I was sitting in my chair and minding my own work. My colleague behind me, lets call him northie1, called me. He had this mischievous smile about him. With some misgivings as to what might be going on his mind I asked him "what?". He said he wanted me to show me something, before anybody takes any wild guesses, related to some girl.

So we went down the aisle towards a corner on the other side of our office where one of the senior managers sits. Then he showed me something on her table.

Yes, you get full points for guessing. It was a CUCUMBER. I had to try damn hard to stifle my laughter. I was wondering what kind of a lday would keep a cucumber, in office, and in plain view of others???

What do I call this???- Part 2

2005-05-25T06:49:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone, Sorry, was not able to update this blog immediately after I had a talk. Here it is... I went and spoke to Tanya, but there is nothing much to say about it. As day by day this blog is getting famous, I actually dont want to take any chances. And the truth is the same expected insanity and nothing new. "if there is any thing wrong, just tell me straingaway and dont have to pul me to this distance" she said. But only I know that, since she was pulled this long the issue was taken seriously. therwise this is going to be just another time killer.

What do I call this???

2005-05-24T02:25:00.000-07:00

Hi Everybody, I actually wanted to pen this blog only after I spoke with Tanya, But I couldn't resist what she has done to my scorecard. Its not the score that drives me wild, its just the way she have given scores. As everyone knows scorecard are made of different parameters. And whoever is the scorer he/she has to go by the parameters at any point in time. (that's what I call what a RULE is). But nothing goes like that here. I don't understand why did Tanya, mark me down for something and has not done the same for Lechery where even she has done a similar mistake. Either I should gain or she should loose. I don't bother if she gains or not.
I'm just bothered about my performance. Its only me and Rancidspeak are marked down. I'm sure there should be some discrepancies in Rancid's scores as well.
I'm going to talk to her about this today. Is it my star or is it the reality that I hmm.. rather we have problem with every @#$%ger. One did not know what to do, and this does not know how to do. What an irony. I'm going to talk to Tanya today. Lets see what happens. What ever happens, will come on the part 2 of this blog. I'm not partial to anyone and would not like to be a victim as well. Lets wait till I talk......

Office bitching - Part 2

2005-05-20T07:48:00.000-07:00

This is another intelligent piece of conversation I had with one of "hard-wroking" colleagues. To her credit, she is really hard working unlike some other people.

Me: Hi, How many times have I asked you to check work log before assigning?
Me: "ref no xxxxxx"
Preeti: i acnnot go thru all the updates
Preetit: if u feel something is wrong with the case
Preetit: y dont u assign it to proper team
Me: you dont have to go thru all the updates
Preeti: it wont take much off ur time
Me: just hover over wl will do to find last update
Me: and it wont take much of yourt time either
Me: we will be losing out on sla for parts ordering. thats why I said that
Me: for other calls who cares?
Preeti: hello this is not the only thing which i am doing
Me: I know that.
Preeti: and it is not possible 4 me
Me: but everybody else does that when they are doing q management
Me: just ask nana how she does it
Me: and she does around 80 cases just like you
Preeti: well 2 diff. people cannot b compared
Preeti: she has diff. style and i have my own
Me: see I am not comparing
Me: I am telling you a small thing which everyone can do. Very easy if you just think abt it and does not take much time. But once assigned any agent will take some time to see it and before that SLA is lost
Me: cool, forget it

But my point is, why can't people understand simple concepts and they are asked to do somethings a particular way?

"The whole human race was damned from day one."

I think someone already said the above statement, but I take credit for the above version, unless challenged by original author. In such a case, I will NOT pay royalty.

Office bitching - Part 1

2005-05-19T04:04:00.000-07:00

Now it is time for me to bitch about the insane office. Let me call mine the insane team I work with.

"If you can't lead be happy to be led". This is a very famous saying that I just coined. (Oooohh ain't I bright and intelligent?).

There are some people in this team who are average (looks and upper rooms put together). So if you are not singled out for something you think you deserve to get what do you do? You either detach yourself and think with your head and not your heart. As simple as that, I suppose. So you should work towards achieving the goal. But there are some people here who just bitch about any extra work given ( and more often that not the daily reponsibilities and not extra work). And the excuses given. Oh my Gawd! The stupidest excuses you will ever hear.

Me: Hey Sonali, can you go inbound for 10 minutes? I need to check on an update.
Sonali: Noooo (wails). I have looooots of work to do. I've been doing mailboxes and there are lots more to do. I have not even had a single break today.

(Ok, wtf does taking a break to do with just going inbound for 10 minutes? This is just a small example).

Me: Hey, where are you going? There are only 4 people on the floor. Take a break after someone comes back.
Sonali: You know, I haven't taken a single break all day. I've been working non-stop for 5 hours now. I HAVE to take a break NOW.
Me: I understand that you have not taken a break. Why are you picking up this moment to take a break there are very few people here to take the flow of calls? Can't you wait 10 minutes.
Sonali: I haven.t had a single break all day. I am going.
Me: Duh???

As you can see reason fails... all the time and every time.

I will continue this with more juicy examples later. Have to get back to work now.

Life goes on!!

2005-05-18T07:02:00.000-07:00

Seems like a good day to post on this Insanity In the Office blogspot!!!

Me and EnligtenedRogue are in a different process as you all know and it is getting hectic!! I remember that last monday, I got close to 20 calls back to back!! And ended the day with 44 inbound calls!!

And there is the usual hiccups in getting a new process off the ground.....sometimes it is scary when you are SUPPOSED to know everything and also that when you ask someone for a doubt, you can be given a fiery stare meaning that you should have known that. And it is certainly harder for some people!! I quote, here, word for word, something that one of my colleagues mentioned to me on chat about these "persons"....

**@: HI DO U KNOW WHICH GRP DOES PROBLEM WITH "MKSDFMSN" GO TO
ME: no idea, ask *****
**@: no yaar i found out... when i got a cal and asked the same question to ???, ??? said do u guys close u'r ears when i talk n close u'r eyes when i send a mail search have sent

a mail
**@: neither did she nor ???? listen to wht the problem was......they were all red
**@: ??? said i think i need to be here all the time to help u gys
ME: yeah...forget it....dont worry
ME: they dont know....
**@: not tht problem is they don't understand what we r talking abt
**@: all they know is they are managers
ME: yeah
ME: so cool...forget it.....do what we have to do....
ME: i remember, she told us to close tickets of it was logged with KLJLSDKJK...
ME: or if we send a KJDKFJD request....
ME: now today, she was telling *%*** differently
**@: wht we don't close KJSDK tickets or what ?
ME: i dont think so.....
**@: nonsense
ME: i am not too sure
**@: these people r only fit to gossip, do theirs claims, giggle n hog n put on xtra fat
ME: haha...man, that one line makes me want to roll on the floor laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ME: yeah
ME: life goes on.....
**@: i know

And most certainly, life goes on...............

SPAM....SPAM....SPAM!!!!!

2005-05-13T06:17:00.000-07:00

Here we go. Yet another insanity at the office. Everyday once I come in to the office, I would have atleast 9 to 10 unread mails. Out of which 7 will be SPAM mails sent by my co-workers. I dont want to tell their names, as some you guys might know. All sorts of SPAMS that can irritaye you. One will be a chain mail which willl say " If you dont send this to 1 million people in 10 seconds you will go to grave in 5 secs and if you do so your dream will come true" the moment you read it you'll stop dreaming thereafter.

Come dont understans when they get time to do this. Do they do it as soon as they come in as their prior job? or make it a point to SPAM as many people as possible before they leave for the day? And also inbetween the day there will few mails that will which will a speedbreaker when you are working and trying to get some job done. If I ask them "Why do you keep sending SPAM?" their simple answer is "DON'T READ". (Does'nt it simoply mean that though you read or not I'm not going to stop spaming). Ahaaaaaaaaaaaa..... Cant stop few things in life. May be SPAM and mails can never be seperated. What do you say??????

Team Party!!!

2005-05-02T00:19:00.000-07:00

Hi guys, Its me again. I just wanted to share the experience of the team party that we had yesterday. It was my new manager who started the topic of going out somwwhere. Then we decided to have one in a place called "censored". Its was SHOES and ALCOHOLICS together. Myname?, Crimson Warrior, RancidSpeak and I were together, yet again. Had good Boose and some food. Though the music was funky, we all danced for it. Before that we played a game which really did not turn out the way wee wanted. We all hoped that we could get a day off today after the party. But this time we were among the unfortunates. With all the drowsiness I had to walk into the office. RancidSpeak was also with me in the office. Crimson Warrior and Myname? are happily sitting, in fact sleeping in the house. Thats what is not tolerable. Noooooooooooooooooooooo.... I cant digest the fact that these animals are sleeping at home when Ransid and I are working here.

Friday Blast.........

2005-04-22T06:46:00.000-07:00

Seems like tonight, me - RancidSpeak, Enlightened Rogue, Crimson Warrior and Myname? will be joining up at our place for a "small" drink. This is the first time that Myname? will be joining us for a drink. I remember the last few times when RancidSpeak, Enlightened Rogue and Crimson Warrior had a drink together.....it was awesome...we tripped so much that we went to places like OuterSpace, talked about friendhsip and what not....let us see how it goes this time around....

Will post tomorrow on the happenings of tonight...

Life....vodka....office!!!

2005-04-19T11:21:00.000-07:00

Well, this week has been a F***ing MESS!!!! Last week was even more so!!!!!! Damn, not just that I was bored to death in the weekend, but also that me and Enlightened Rogue have been put into another process. To say the truth, this is a pretty good process in the sense that it concerns more technical stuff, but the process training is f***ing BORING!!!!.

The trainer is a pretty good person, but I am sick and tired of her treating us like kids and she not being specifically trained to train us!!! And even more sickening is that a certain contract that I was supposed to continue after this month has run into some S***!!!. So much so that I feel like tearing apart the people that started this mess off in the first place!!

Well, to end matters on a good note, me and a friend of mine who is on training with me, went on a small trip when we had a break of an hour...and we had a shot of vodka and came back into office....life seems much better after a drink you know.....

I am feeling a little woozy...life is great!!!

Training even MORE so....

IS IT REALLY noname?

2005-04-05T06:32:00.000-07:00

What is Holi for?

2005-03-23T09:44:00.000-08:00

Hi there, Here I have yet another incident to explain why my office is insane. We all know this friday is a good friday. And Holi.. its actually a festival celebrated in India as welcome festival for spring. Everyone celebrate it by splashing colors on each others. GOD... trust me ..... you can not enter your house the same way you came out. But, its defenitely not celebrated by splashing colors on each other inside the office. Understandable.... Instead of that what if we come in different colored dress.

Every morning only after I see the wardrobe, I decide what dress to wear. But I would not like some one say "wear this dress and come tomorrow". Boss.. there are more productive job to do.....And the best part is if we dont do that, we are considered to be an insane, a workaholic.
Oh god.... Today, a team is working on this mission of asking everyone to come in different colors. Man I can't stand it. Lets grow up to be mature.

But in my office, most of the people are very far from maturity. It takes more than a ladder to get there. What guys what do you say?

Some pessimistic sayings that I can speak out....

Some pessimistic sayings that I can speak out loud in office

It is always today. Tomorrow never comes.

The rules really ARE stricter for me.

Am I the only person on Earth who must reach his destination before he will be allowed to begin his journey to get there?

Anything I want can wait until tomorrow.
Tomorrow never comes.

Everything is designed to break an hour before you really need it.

When my ship comes in, I'll be waiting at the airport.

Every opportunity spontaneously expires 30 seconds before I take it.

What it means when you tell me to be "responsible" or say that I'm "responsible":

Being "responsible" means it's my fault.

Being "responible" means if I don't do it, it doesn't get done.

Being "responsible" means I do the work and you get the credit.

Being "responsible" means you get the credit and I get the blame.

Being "responsible" means you control what happens but I pay the consequences.

Being "responsible" means I must delegate tasks to others and bear the cost when they fail.

These are all pessimistic stuff that I have taken off another site....cool

Girls girls girls everywhere

2005-03-17T12:49:00.000-08:00

There used to be a time when I wished there were more girls around me in office in my own process. That was quite a long time ago and now I wish that wasn't true ( all apologies to the really sweet ones that sit near to me). There are reasons behind this sudden switch over that I will try and explain.

The one behind me and to my right is one girl I liked right from the start - and no apologies either. The one right behind me is a nice enough girl who I really like, but mind you she needs to grow up to realize how much a person can take harmless enough sounding cutting remarks. The one next to me on my left is great too. ( People people, I am not talking about girls as in GIRLS. I am talking about girls as a person as a friend. This is just so that nobody gets any wrong ideas). Then the girl next to the girl next to me. All great people. But that doesn't cut ice when you are talking abt the ones siting in the next bay. A couple of them are ok. But the rest of them seem to have issues all the time - be it the shift or work related questions or for want of confidence. So may girls in the midst of just 5 guys ( there are 2 more guys but I cant consider them outright as true guys, maybe because the way they act).

You have truly be in the midst of all them and listen them to talk when you will want to run away from office to some secluded place for some peace and quiet. As long as they talk in bits and pieces I am fine but not when they go on yapping... Am I whining? Guess not. What do you say people?

If there is a problem...

Hi fellow insanes.... just wanted to share an instance that I've come across in my office. Yet another reason to prove that this office is insane.

Let me ask this Question. Why do we sit and take few man hours in a meeting? According to me that is again for productivity. But its 100% productive only if its implemented. If we decide that this is a standard method, then we need to implement them. But you know what, its not the same here. It just means that we need to implement it for 2 weeks and then come back to the same old CRAP!!! That's what is happening now. With me my !@#$%^& decided that, a particular job will be done by 2 people at any point in time so that lot of man efforts are not put in the same SHIT. But again, 3 people are made to work on the SHIT now.

Don't you think that 2 hours spent on the meeting has gone for a big time 6! Yes... it has. On top of that we have few tumble heads sitting behind us to eat our brains. AS soon as you come to the office, you get reminded that you have not done your job(But actually its someone else's job).

Its yet another day in this insanity.

Excuses at the office!!

2005-03-15T08:35:00.000-08:00

Here I am, RancidSpeak again...commenting on some of the absolutely, incredibly STUPID things that go on in office.

We are working in a place that employs people in shifts. So what is the normal routine? We all work in shifts, dodo!!! And these shifts are "shifted" around and all shifted people have equal oppurtunity to get into any damn shift.

Here today, we had three stupid girls from our team, come up to the spock who deals with the shift schedules and literally beg him, to put them all into the same shift!!! Whatever for, I ask?? Do they all have some really interesting thing to do together?? Together as in happy, together??

Damn it, I can be really MEAN sometimes. But seriously, one of these girls comes up and gives this really stupid excuse, saying that her mom does not like her to come in so late to work and to leave so late!!!! And by late, they mean leaving at 12:30 AM. Is that late?? Morons, why dont you try working in a night shift, get another job or simpler yet - GET MARRIED. Now, dont put ideas into my head, but seriously, will your mom complain then?? Or what shift are you in, then??

I am just starting something here....guys, can u come with some SILLY explanations that we GUYS can give to escape all these crazy shifts??
