w-t-f?

September 6, 2006

My mouse was just replaced, without me even being asked, by a co-worker who had the same type as mine. Im thinking.. W-T-F?!

Now, im torn between what to do?! Should i report it, make it an issue? Should i let it go? Should i confront him? He’s already come up to me and casually remarked “mouse phir kharab hogaya?” on seeing i was having difficulty using it.

I make it a point to open up n clean my mouse every few weeks, just so its easier to use… and my original mouse was in very good condition :( Unfortunately, i’ve already opened and cleaned this one as well, destroying all ‘evidence’. But still im steamed!!! The nerve of that guy!!!!

aarggghh!! I miss my mouse :(

roasted

September 4, 2006

You know you cant work any longer when, even in this simmering heat, the temperature outside is cooler than inside!

Thanks to our ever efficient KESC, the powers out again, and has been so for the last 3 hours. That means the AC doesnt work, the office is still shut air tight because the generators outside would blast our ear drums, and with 7 people here, the temperature has just gone up n up! To the point that the fan is now more of an irritation than a blessing!!

Cant wait for quitting time!!!!!

*ofcourse, since i cant work, that doesnt mean i cant blog ;)

On a brighter note, ever since the attendence policy got implemented, today would be the first day i will actually clock my full working hours (maybe even go above a little). Yaayyy!!

Late for office……..

August 31, 2006

This morning, i woke up at 8 went through the usual routines, got ready by 8:45 and was about to leave when i remembered i had to take my brother with me. Tried waking him up, but he wouldnt… so waited…. n waited..

n guess what!! he woke up 20 minutes later saying, “bhai, you go, i’ll take the bus!” (aarggghh!!)

so i grab the keys, go down to my car, put the keys in the ignition, turned it, and….

nothing! :S

WTF?!? did some initial diagnostics, and learned that the battery had died over the night! which was pretty weird since, nothing was left open!!

two days ago, the car battery had died as well, the lights were left on by my brother. It started a while later though, but the battery water had depleted quite a bit. I did ask him to refill it, but being my brother he didnt and i also forgot about it.

Now im in a fix.. its 11:30, im still at home, and the car wont start…

Power Trip

August 26, 2006

Dont you just hate it when people in your workplace go on their petty power trips every so often?

There’s this guy in my office, he’s in an administrative role, and the daily attendence comes under him. This is the first month that we have the daily attendance being done in our office, which ofcourse means that this is the first month im not gonna get my full pay. If we miss more than 8 hours a month of work, we get fined one days pay. This month.. i’ve missed around 16 hours.

Coming back to power trips, this guy started stating
“If you dont fill the attendance every day, im going to mark you abset”

“If you dont fill out-time every day, im going to report you and deduct your pay”

and what not!! I just hate it when people get all power-y over such stuff!
