The Preview

12:30 Am AEST. It is mid night but I am there in front my Laptop Gtalking, gmailing and orkutting. That's me as jobless as ever.Nothing much has changed in that aspect. Perhaps I havent changed much in the last 6 months , it was just that the circumstances made me spend more time in the office and do something that turned out to be called as "work" . At the end of it all, I am still the same old irresponsible brat all set to come back home after 1 and half at this Bindaaaaaaaaaas place called Melbourne.

Sometimes I do feel some things have changed . Now that's Me...my typical confused self.A few months ago, not too long ago I had this idea of blogging about my feelings when I chided a pretty female in my office who happened to be my first junior at the work place. I haven't had a chance to blog since then so I have a zillion of my feelings stacked up in my heart and many things have changed since then. ( I might contradict this again). I never imagined that I would work for such a long period in the Technical domain. Neither did I have this thought of playing the role of TL.( I am still not sure if it stands for a Tech Lead or a Team Lead). It all started with that project when one of my Managers decided to end my 2 year honeymoon and made me work. Silly me ( or smart me ) !!! I have had the tendency of taking up the responsibility and giving my best to complete it when assigned a task. Best shot meant staying for 18-24 hrs in the office continously ( the bloody damn Night out included). I was never smart at work but I usually made sure that I hung around till everything went fine. After a few days, this hanging around habit of mine was given the name "commitment" and I was soon crowned as a TL to in charge of a team of 2 ( me and the pretty junior lass ) that would soon be a team of 4.

The crown turned out to full of thorns. It was a struggle and has been a struggle since then. Life was no more Eat sleep and enjoy. Instead it was Document, Code and Deliver. I am not the technically passionate person so I wasn't sound neither technically nor functionally. But I had the fight it out attitude ( euphemism for "hanging around" attitude) that helped me deliver my tasks even if I was a couple of days late. Anyways I "had to" since I was the one responsible for doing that. I was hoping that I would take a few days off from work in Decemeber to attend my friend's wedding . I really didn't want to miss Maddy's wedding. But fate always finds a way of making a fool of me. There was an onsite poistion available in the project and I was all set to travel to Melbourne. ( and miss the wedding). I was excited that I would be travelling abroad for the first time and responsibility of the role had me all fired up. So that is how this trip happened. I intend to blog all those interesting things that have happened in the last one month. Will I ? I am after all such a lazy bum. Hmmm... but I also happen to be an Optimist to the core. Moral of the story: Wait and see.
