Some More Lessons of Life (At office )

O F F I C E - Most of the 86400 seconds in a day (except weekends and public Holidays) is spent here amidst the cubicles, Outlook, Manager, TL, Escalations, Appreciation, coffee breaks, Lunch time ,evening tea.

I remember my first salary ,was so excited to have it in my hand.Spent every single penny of that on buying gifts for mom, dad, sister and cousin brother ..one of the happiest moments ! That day and the day today, things have changed a lot. Met many kind people in the course of work ,some were inspiring some were just a 'pain in the neck' , made some great friends ,learnt lot of programming stuff in the office itself (rather than in college) , some challenges faced ,some difficult situations faced , some worth admiring ....

Some of Life's Little lessons i learnt At office ...

1. Some people in office are there just to make your life 'Hell' ,you have to just bear them .

2. Maskafication ( "The process of letting your manager know that you are a genius!" ) sometimes helps !!

3. There are people who are always trying to pull you down, you got to swim against the tide . (If you have seen the movie 'Finding Nemo' ,there is a very good example in that, There are a set of fishes who are caught in the Fisherman's net are being pulled up, meantime the hero of the movie 'Nemo' ( a small fish) comes and tells them to swim dowwards. All the fishes do that and finally the rope which was carrying the Net breaks and all the fishes are free again. )

4. Sincerity and Hardworking people are words often good only for quoting ,work well done without much of a loss to the company resources is what is much appreciated.

5. Customer Satisfaction is more important than Employee Satisfaction.

6. People who join later than you get salary grater than/equal to your salary . ( That's when we decide to leave the company or demand for more salary ;o) )

7. Until you go onsite ,you think the people who are onsite are really 'great' people . ( I used to always think so !!! )

8. Pound is greater than Dollar. (Converting Pound/Dollars into Rupees every time you buy something is injurious to health )
Any more gyaan is very much appreciated !!!!!
