Life as it is

Life comes in various shades for different people.... or does it?
Can we say different people take life in different shades.
A common shade ..... software Engineer!
Wake up at six , get ready in the crammed space shared by 4 others, dress tiptoed,
run to catch the bus ( company bus ofcourse!), reach the office and swipe in on time!......... phew!
Now you can relax - an hour of breakfast, check mails, forward them meticulously to others, 2 hours of lunch, back to mailing again!... lucky few may have to prepare some documents, attend a meeting or even luckier teeny weeny group might have to add a few lines of code to the trash already written by others....OOPS I forgot the half an hour of tea-breaks in the mornings and afternoons, meticulously lock you computer( it has the nations security policy in it).. or it does so by itself! and waah way home after a day's hard work!

But human mind must be appreciated, it does finds enjoyable reasons to carry on: forward- mails which make you laugh,think, some peice of work which might add up to your resume, trying to please your supervisor hoping that he might find a GOOD CHALLENGING JOB for you some day ( far ahead), free phone calls, free 24 hrs internet( for a lucky few), a good lunch with your friends which reminds college days(as a matter of fact we were transported as a group from college!- so we'll not miss friends).

So smile when you are trouble!
Software engineers smile all the time!
