how things got better..

Next day was equally horrid…. Bad bad bad! Just sat at a desk having nothing to do and no one to talk to. Amit turned up the next day, he was also into our account but we were in different applications.

During the initial days of training, we had a 2 day session called ‘college to corporate’. Back then it was just another boring session, but the actual transition from college to corporate happened during the first week after training. We realized we had to snap out of it and accept the fact that we had to grow up and adapt to the “work culture” now.

And work culture is sumthing like this:

 realizing the fact that everybody will be busy all the time!
 Learning everything by yourself
 Attending loads of meetings without having a clue about what’s happening. ( I tried to hang on to every word in the first few meetings, but now I just let my mind go on its wandering sprees!)
 Sametime connect ( IBM’s internal chat) which was overused during the training days, now lies silently in the corner of the desktop, waiting in vain for a double click..

But after a few days, it all gets better. Once the work actually starts, it feels great! Yeah we do miss each other and life ain’t one big party anymore, but still.. thr’s sumthing really gud about being busy. Sumthing gud about working in a team, meeting deadlines, figuring out stuff we don’t know.. something gud about belonging to IBM ,being an IBMER.. and of course something really really gud about seeing our bank accounts getting credited every month!


And a few days back, all of this almost came to an END!! (or so we thought)
Wanna know how?
Wait for the next post!!!!.
