New hire, a software program

Hours you put is not what you are paid for, what matters is the kind of work you get done in whatever number of hours you work. There are plenty of jobs that are instructional as hell, I mean whatever you do, you do it according to the instructions provided- How boring is that.

All your life, if all that you did was what someone else told you to or what a manual told you to do, then I'd say, your job sucked big time. For the years to come, make sure you do things without a manual or a freaking tutor (says the guy who prepares software manuals at work ;-)...ahem, I am a Tech Writer ;-)). Instructions are important, but they are not rules, they are just suggestions, and a lot of times these suggestions GO wrong. That said, what I suggest is that we should take up work where there is no mode of operation, no particular way of working, and has a lot of room for screw ups improvements.
If your job is instructional and all that you do is follow instructions (blindly), then it is very clear that you can be replaced by a software program.
So, ultimately, you got fired because of WHAT, a software program.

TV Channels ;-(

ohh these bloody TV channels are so damn getting into my nerves that its content has made me to write an article on my blog। There is absolutely no dilution of the channel content for weeks 2 go, I have been watching TV just coz I have all the time in this world till I get my joining date ;-) but again there is nothing left for me 2 watch as they broadcast the same thing again and again. WHATS THERE 2 CHANGE MUSIC- plz stop darde disco, ankhon mei teri, mauja mauja & move your body baby etc etc, Put some tracks which may date back 2 the 70s but not these again and again. If not the old list, start with some new movie albums and some tracks from strings or junoon which are nowhere 2 be seen. TV shows- start new seasons of the shows like friends, sienfeld or the OC, the desperate housewives or else change the show itself but plz dont torture with the same season again and again. The only best part of the channels- THE EVER CHANGING ADVERTISING SECTOR WHICH COMES UP WITH EXTREMELY CR...

Wipro- Reporting day

Image
Better late than never...a perfect beginning for my blog post. It's time to write about my unexpected event which certainly did come to reality today. I used to search google for a post like this in my final year/post placements/post engineering but I never found anything informative & straight to the point with regards to the reporting day ( not trying to boast, really!! )...So, I've put in a little effort to give you the exact picture of whats what on the reporting day!! Wipro Technologies did is for us, it was our reporting day today (27th April 2009). Our training starts on May 4th 2009 (one more week to go). Let me just rewind & play the whole day.
