Monday. Mondaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy......
Do you understand what it is to pass a working monday out? Do you do you do you??
Yes, precisely. You bet! Its beeping tough. Especially when you have had an amazing weekend. But there is one solace. I work late into the night today (tonite). I am not used to working late in the nights, but I must say, I am realizing it is real fun.
I am an extrovert and all that now. NOW. I have not been this all along. Being such a sucker for solitude, its just natural that I am liking it now.
Imagine a typical cubicled software company's fourth floor, with all the lights except the one above your now-tiring head, switched off, with soft music of your volition, as soothing on your ears as when you are proposed to (you are wondering how I know, right? Right! But I am not telling you), with no one else except for those ever vigilant guards who sit here for nothing but to get your 'Out-Signature', a dark and uneventful night looming outside, temperatures not even in the teens, beer in your right hand and a fag in your left.
Imagined? Good. Now delete the beer and the fag. And that is exactly how it is right now. I am loving every moment of this.
Truth is, being a software professional is funnily interesting, and disappointingly stereotyping. You(I) become the seething mass of conditioned reflexes that you would hate seeing others as. You develop disgusting predictability, abnormal addictions, extremely fashionable jargons, interesting spellings and appealing lapsus lingae - like you want to say 'why dont you close your mouth and keep your barbs to yourself' and you end up saying "shutdown and stick it up your socket". But see the ease? Try software sometimes. It really helps.
Now coding can get on to your nerves. And you end up prattling like I did above. And I realize, a computer always does what you ask it to do, but seldom does what you want it to do! And right now, I am finding it difficult to pin the source of error down. Is it Moi or is it the system? And I almost always end up at only one solution when I get into critical situations like these which demand extreme efficiency is decision making and life-altering presence of mind - go home and sleep.
And that is precisely what I am going to do. Its early into Tuesday now, and I pray it brings me fame, fortune and Jenifer Lopez. Adios.
