Day 18 - 8 Dec' 10

12:26
reached at 11:40
(red mark for once - no feelings!)

surprise on seat - new sleak monitor
(i never asked for it. Did they come to know of my job hunting??)
(no idea! enjoy the luxury!)

bad luck - its a big monitor
magnifies all my past times!
its easy to get noticed now

reduced resolution - now looks same as my old monitor
(looks odd - 2 inch black borders at top n bottom!)
(but then better than getting noticed reading stuff! - twitter/random blogs!)

checked all mails
some major issue in phoren one
(need to resolve by today - or he'll grow whiskers again!)

opened - all closed applications
(pain in the ***!)

for a change filled in my weekly
(had huge data to fill - proud n conceited! smug smug :-| )

no song played as of now
(was trying to get adjusted with this new display for the moment.)

lets begin the day!

1:03
D pinged
light chit-chat on my current n her trip
asked her to check openings in her org

Cha pinged
angry as always - 'y I never say Hi'
(he remains offline - how would I know hes there?)

he had to rush for sm work

resolved lurking error issues
(feels like a winner already! :P )
lots more on plate

sharan padhe ka kije dhyaan - in BG

1:22
J pinged
discussed - job changing issues
got a lucrative offer - but not interested in change
current company - enable her juggle home/work well
new - time demanding, though better tech n money
priority - home/work balance (splly for newly-wed!)
J had in mind - to disclose the present employers bout the offer.
(gave golden suggestion - dont do it unless u may change and its near appraisal time.)
(no point disclosing u lookin out - when they cant do anythin bout it!)

pawansut binti barambaar - in BG

1:43
long discussion with J - on traits of true friends
discussed a long-separated friend
n also how we will welcome her - once shes back from her hiding

2:29
had lunch - front seat occupied
food - bland
finished with icon issue
(i fear i'll complete all tasks in 3-4 days, this way!)
(need to slow down!)

team-mates asked confirmation - on team outing
(some crap like pin(g)ball!)
said plain no - wont like to be a sour-face admist sycophancy

2:41
Pa pinged
(always feels nice to connect to her!)
some recent weddings visit - discussed
neither of us attended - any

2:49
in a dillema
(should I leave for the sojourn? or wait some more time)

3:37

not upto complete satisfaction - yet this was expected
(lets see how much this will work!)

3:45
read last post
n posted!
(content!)

4:16
still shaken with the after-effect
trying the link req
(seems small n yet complicating)
(am sure there are conflicting IDs)

other PM arrived
need to discuss - post release issue
(bad news! will have to attend a meet tonight or early morn tomorrow! :( )
(will try to identify issue - in today's session itself )
(am sure its the permission issue | or tar broke up)

6:26
internal meeting - done
release issue - resolved
(am a Bond! I always knew!!)
R guy - sent notice

Day 18 - 6 Dec' 10

12:28
reached at 11:35
but managed to sign in

got leave's mail again - nth time after resolution
was a little harsh - but I kept my cool
replied with all evidences and detailed step-by-step sorting

got a harsh reply - with confirmation

went to HR - to discuss
(they cant be rude when am correct!)

she was completely opposite to her email version
cool / smiling / considerate - explained me, maybe I applied by mistake
I denied - like a child (but complete honesty)
(after all I actually had NOT APPLIED for the discussed date!!)
she gave in sheepishly - and we mutually smiled

on way back to my floor - thought struck
(YES! indeed I had taken leave on that date AND had also applied too!!)
(S***!! how I myself got confused!! dint have the heart to go back n admit now!)
(after all mail had been circulating btw team seniors & HR seniors! moreover HR female was already quite pissed!)
(let it be. but I AM GUILTY :( )

cleaned desk + got warm water
met the newly-wed R on way back
(was all radiant :) n a lil tired too.)
congratulated her! (seemed relieved to be back in office)
(not sure why! I would have taken longest possible leaves even left my job. We'll see.)

dont know why he was walking almost in middle
(its a heavy traffic road!)
was wearing an expensive gray suit, slight knee problem
he kept walking single-mindedly. looking some 6 steps ahead of him.
(almost like I roam around in office)
(wish I knew where he was headed to!)
or maybe it was like his daily walk
(could be or he was under some sort of heavy thing.)
(though was nice to see him walking with such determination)

chair had a misplaced wheel second day in a row
wudnt dirty my hands first thing in the morning
called admin
1 call - what chair?? ok. (guess he dint understand)
2 call - chair? ok
3 call - chair! ok

went to take water + wash tea mug
finally they came
showed them the chair n moved to pantry to have tea n home brought toasts
prepared tea
repair guys comes n asks - 'I cleaned ur table in the morning, should I throw the boxes arranged on the table ??'
I told - its just the chair that needs to be fixed, rather.. just the wheel!

Am having tea n toast
hes back n asks should we change the chair?
Had to literally HOLLER - wheel got loose n dropped off. I fixed it yesterday. Today while cleaning it again dropped off, I guess. SO PLEASE JUST TIGHTEN THE SCREWS OF THE WHEEL TO THE CHAIR!!!! THATS IT!!!!!!!!!!
(seems now he understood. finally!)

came back n saw - the chair's missing
took another chair from an occupied cubicle
(should have done the first thing in the morning!)

2 mins later - can listen somebdy pulling a chair
(relieved - my chair is back!! :) )

its the same guy - offering me a different chair by the time they do something with mine!!!
I take it. Ask him to keep the current chair back to the empty cubicle.
(After all the guy would miss his own beloved chair, once hes back)

Finally comfortable in the alternate arrangement chair
