Office Office!!!

I am sure readers would be wondering why such a name??? Let me tell you all it’s got nothing to do with the Pankaj Kapur serial which use to be telecasted on SAB TV. The reason why I thought about this is bcoz in my opinion OFFICE is a “HOME AWAY FROM HOME” I know some would not agree to this newly made quote by me but the reason I write so is bcoz I believe every working employee at least spends minimum of 8 hrs @ work and that’s how it’s also @ my office…and I spend most of time here apart from home…I don’t have the exclusive weekend off privilege like those working in IT Sector …I even work on Saturdays and if my employer is in a really generous mood he even gives me a Sunday to work…which I uprightly say I HATE!!! :-(But then your employers are here to suck each and every drop of blood in your body..I don’t want to make my employer look like a blood sucking vampire…but then I am sure the entire working class in this country would have at least once in their professional life would have cursed their employers :-) 

But I thought to write about this topic not to sound like one of those frustrated employee but to keep up the positivity that to spend time at office can also be fun if the ambience, colleagues are good…more importantly if you are flourishing professionally and your work is being appreciated and recognized you would love your work….for me fortunately it has been so in the past as well as in the present. In fact I have always been part of organization in their initial days of making it BIG and maybe that could be the reason why I have connected with people and assertively say MY OFFICE IS A HOME AWAY FROM HOME.

My first job as a recruitment consultant @ a manpower consultancy firm actually has made me a better employee…as a child in fact until my post graduation I use to be an introvert person…I would talk less and talking to the opposite gender was always a little of a problem with me but after having spent 5 years in a government women’s college I guess you lose the charm ;-).…my post graduation phase however helped me deal with this problem in a fair bit of way but the first job made it even finer…bcoz I had to interact with lots of people trying to figure out their career aspirations!!!

Interacting with so many different people throughout the 1 year I worked in this firm made me a better, confident and if I may have to say I even know some of the readers would also agree it’s made me a lot more extrovert ,talkative…after this 1 year of job I switched to this private engineering college…and then  

I realize that my earlier job I had to seek good candidates for employers…and now responsibility reversed I had competent students and had to search employers…still wonder which responsibility would be graded tougher??? He he…I guess both have their pros and cons….my director while handing me the appointment letter in this college made it very clear ”You almost look like a student yourself wonder how you would be able to manage some brattish engineering students but I think you should be able to manage bcoz your interpersonal skills are good!!!” I have to thank all those people I met during the tenure of my first job who actually made that happen for me.

Now putting a full stop to the thanksgiving passages written above ;-) I need to move on with the other aspect I intend to write in this blog….I totally agree you should have fun @ work as when we were growing up we have always heard ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY!!! But having all the fun will definitely make my employer throw me out…lol…I totally believe that it has to be the inner self which has to take a call on deciding whether your time being spent @ office is time you would want to fondly remember or always be cribbing about…with me thankfully until now it’s been fond memories…I would be lying though if I told that it’s been always good…there have quite a good bad memories too…but no point getting to discuss them on the blog as now things are sorted with them…and I can proudly say in these colleagues I have found that rare category which I mentioned in my maiden blog “GOOD FRIENDS”
