Yet another 'first day at work'..

And..with a twist of fate, am not going to work where i thought i would be.. instead was surprised with a work place nearer to the house and the one that has 'good market value'.
In fact, all the tests and interviews i gave, thinking it will a good timepass and i will finally get a chance to wear my 'formals' has borne overwhelmingly good responses from the employers..!(are they nuts?)
So i am again in two minds...God is having plenty of fun playing around with my life..! Hey Bhagwan I say!!
Its almost like first day at school... as sad or as lonely or maybe as intimidating. Have had so many 'first-day-at-school's and 'first-day-at-work's!!
And still nothing can prepare me for all the stares, sly jokes, questions, etc... That is why maybe of all the places, i have enjoyed joining NIIT the most.. i joined with a group of 5 girls, however managed to attract enough attention to spread the news till the Singapore ofc!! For all the wrong reasons though...and it was long after the joining that i got to know about the 'powerpuff girls' and the 'viva girls' thingy.. :) .
So the first day actually started with no work..not even going to the office for that matter.. first day and was postponed to what was supposed to be my second day.
The first day was more of waiting around in offices for 45 min to 1 hour for a 5 minute brief without any apology..!! Bloody snobs!! Then, as usual, running around for 'drawer keys' and 'configuring the workstation'. Had to call the so called 'helpdesk' 101 times..!!
result: comp set up by 5:45 pm and
sill no sign of the keys. (WOW... helping the world sitting on the roads, dont care about their own employees!! )%*)%&)%&$)@#!@$$!)
Place seems to be okay.. lots of women around... and not really very interesting. No moozik :(
(someone played 'Californication' for like 10 seconds..and then stopped.. i think it was a mistake!!) *sigh* I guess ppl generally not fond of music..! so no share ware happenin! SAD!!
For tea there are two pantry rooms on this floor and ppl stand in the pantry room itself to have tea.. i mean, how sad is that?? small sqaure room with a coffee/tea machine as a break from your workstation...how relaxing! And just forget about sutta breaks.. i will be stared to death...!! Already a lot of staring happening..which is not-so-happening! But no sutta is maybe a blessing in diguise or something like that! Coz that way i hardly get to smoke one ciggy a day.

the work which i am told i will be doing is more on the lines of something very complicated called 'copy paste'. So, really looking forward to that! It also includes drawing 'flow charts' (which the client calls 'swimlanes' for some weird reason) in a ppt slide. WOW.. am dying of excitement. Copy paste and drawing.. too much!
And there is a canteen which is could not get jazzier.. has quite a variety from 'momos' to 'boiled corn' and 'chana bhatura' etc....even fresh fruit juice. Canteen is on the 8th floor and I am on the 1st floor.. and thus people spend most of the time waiting for the lift..( lazy buggers).

Access cards everywhere.. even the printer is kept in the room which can be accessed only by authorized employees. And here is the worst part: 'formal dressing' from monday to thursday.. cheeeeeeeeeeeee!! :(( Am not so much of a 'trouser' person..!!
So there is a lot of jazz..but unjazzy ppl.
Not expecting too much. Its wokay da!

Till next time!
