Friends with rich tastes
Dec 14,
That was a senti plea requesting you all to pleeeeeeeeeeeease fill up my inbox.
Having made the point loud and clear lets move ahead and concentrate on the other things in life. The last one month has been hectic. We had a lot of work to do but more than that there was a lot of confusion. As soon as you enter a place you feel that this is the toughest job in the world and things become more interesting if you have a completely undefined work process and comprehensive self study trainings.
The worst part of the last one month was the confusion and fear of not doing well. Add to it the feeling that perhaps support is not the best thing to do.
Anyway things have stabilised quite a lot in the last one week. Firstly it now seems possible. In support if you want to do a good job you need to be smart and know a lot of things. And the weblogic is something whose documentation spans over 5000 pages and J2EE specs involves a similar amount of data. So reading all this is just the first step, as the guys who come to you have already done so. Often the prob involves things that you hear for the first time and often you have to replicate the prob at your place.
Well well enough of work. Let me tell you about something that happened one day when I went to the reception. Even before I entered the foyer I heard a loud female voice. Lots of ahs uhs and so on. How do I describe it. Let me say that the person seemed to be exerting a lot of pressure. As soon as i reached the reception I felt as if a storm passed by me. Then I caught the glimpse of a huge fatso. The lady in question was running around the place and kind of woofing. I actually felt that she was running after me and this made me run for my life. And i did do that without an idea of what was happening. The experience actually shook me and I took some time to recover. So I will let you have some time to let the whole thing sink in.
So let me take a break and tell you about some interesting characters staying over at my place. These fellas have some very rich tastes. They just like to hog and hog and hog. Sometimes even I feel slighted in front of their appetite. But a few days back they crossed all limits. Their dinner cost me two grands. They wanted more and actually went ahead to have things worth another grand but thankfully I intervened at the nick of time to restrict my losses. The chaps did not want things that cost anything less than a 500. Even the hundreds did not match up to their sophisticated taste buds.
Right in front of the RBI building there is a statue of Kuber and Laxmi. I saw it thanks to the efforts of my dear friends. Had to go there to replace the remains of my dear 500 notes. Somehow I felt that there was something missing so spend forty more bucks and bought some desserts for these guys. Kept the bait all around the place. The guys really enjoyed it. There was foul odor around my place to prove my point.
Oh the fatso who was running around the place. This person actually happens to be the receptionist who is very conscious of her figure. And so has decided to exercise right out there right before the HCL T reception.
And then yours truly has graduated to a higher level. He has started sucking blooding at a much wider scale. All India Radio guys had me speak for ten minutes. Though I spoke about economic issues believe me I was no less irritating.
Then HCL obliged by my presence has decided to give me a raise. They have given me a raise of close of close to five grands. But obviously that's too less for the services I render. So I refused to take it. So guys there Trade Unionism cooking up at HCL technologies and I am a part of it. Will keep you updated with the latest.
Take care
