Private reporting for duty sir! - Sorry nothing much to do anyway

Heheh reporting to duty at 10 seems late but with nothing much to do U cannot complain... It does seem like it is getting on your nerves but with nerves of steel who needs to bother... except when those nerves start to rust from inaction.....
Things do seem to be coming up but at points I find the going uneasy and ill defined.. What structure it needs to be given is yet to be reavealed... Sometimes my role in this seems like an oracle trying to decipher things meant to be seen by the truly possesed and make shapes ut of nothing...
And as always Monday morning Blues and Data Models ahve come to roost for sure guess.
Until I meet any more interesting entities , thats all from me today!!! I think it is finally getting to me of being extremely work oriented or is it the new credit card I am going to get for the sake of a free bag!!!! Dirty shameful me!

Who said Normal is boring?

Normalization ... takes me a while to become normal after a bout of data modeling. Guess the feelings are mutual.. trying to learn for a while and teaching the same back in a shorter time frame... draining I would say... But that seems like the shape of things to come. Fuzzy definitions and a fuzzy data model. Looks like punching in the dark. But we are not supposed to hold any punches... guess what that means...???
Also recieve a lot of punches too , guess a lot of ppl are punching in the dark as well. Now some light emerges and a slight idea of ahwt we are supposed to do.. tough to think about it now and reflect on what has happened over the past 3 months...
If thins are the way they are gonna be.. Normal is definitely boring as best....

Entitied Life

All the worlds an Entity and all of us are attributes!!!!! Makes life that much easier in describing the world. Just Imagine.. A data model of the world...? Wait....... What have I become , three days of Data modelling and I have become a philosopher...!!! Seems easy... What lies in store I do not know , and things do excite me and not knowing what to do I remain....

Working by the seat of your pants....

A computer is a valuable resource including this one which has stood by me for 3 months, of course scouring the net... which is the definition of my work... Jobless..
In search of a Job Definition I have travelled the far and wide reaches of this place... I am left wondering .. What is it that makes me not have anything to do? I guess I have to keep wondering.
As long as I do not get to have anything to do .. Limits of frustration are breached and I am surprised at my own levels of creativity in finding methods to irritate and bug others. Not to mention the deviously wicked ways to target people. I guess me taking these extreme measures are not very far off. Whwn you hear about the guy who hits people with a dart gun menat for sedating wild animals in Office... You know where to look. Not to mention the use of 15 Ich Mortars in Office to shoot my mails to the person concerned instead of relying on Outlook ...

In search of more devious things , I remain.

When it rains , it pours

Like they said , when there was a drought in a sub saharan region , they were "blesses" with a flash flood which took away even the last vestiges of what was there.
Wish things would happen in a more co ordinated way and be a pleasant time. but as they say , The dry season gives way to spring when there is too much happening and then maybe summer of stabilization.
The sad part is me having to relate my life to that of a bear. No work for months and then suddenly heaps of it. Reminds be of Baloo the bear of Jungle book - " A bear in Necessity , be a bear in Necessity"!!!!
To put ones foot down and demand things to happen is soon hapening. Maybe this is what is called "ON" demand.
In light of things to come and work to do , I rest my case.

Waiting for my mountain

Heheh Another Day for me in Paradise!!! So said Phil COllins... But I would not vouch it... Seems like the ultimate reference to people resources being put to rest and people functioning?? Pun intended but in the frame of mind knowing that not many would come acposs this blog in the sea of similar feelings ... I write.

Mindless work and less mind at work too!!! what a coincidence and gives a kind of feeling that there is nothing in the world to do and no mountaind to conquer . This becomes hard to swallow when you have been taken in as a mountain climber and then you are told that you can oly see the mountains for some time. Sad but true.. The mountaineer feels out of place among the mountain goats who have something to climb and they seem to climb when they want to and all the mountaineer has to do is tend to them!!!

Mountaineer or herdsman I wonder! The end of the day spells the end of looking at the mountains and wondering on the statement.." If abu does not go to the mountain... the Mountain comes to Abu..." Seems so true for many. Waiting for My mountain...

Whenever you hear a cry on the slopes of the IT mountain that is to be passed you will find me somewhere stuck and trying to decide which way is mine , without a light and without a pick and others non existent I remain. Like when Alice asked.
Which road should I take...??
Rabbit: That depends on where you want to go..
Alice : I do not know where I have to go...
Rabbit: Then it does not matter which road you take...

The mailman cometh!!!

Outlook will have a fit when I come tomorrow to do what i did today. If it had a choice it would have hung itself rather than just send mails every second minute....
A fine thing it is Mail... but for it the world would stand still and I would die of boredom.
Kind of intrigues me seeing all the guys doing nothing across states and this proves that the joblesness bug is not limited to four walls.
Also new things learnt and new things done. Banking mystified and tensions put to rest. Work to do at home and boning up to be done in anticipation of things to come.
This sounds like a lot to do but actually it is just doing what I have been doing for the past 2 months stated in full.
Dunno why , happen to witness a lot of pshycological examinations theses days , maybe it is common to Bangalore. Crazy population I would say and generally feeling bored so that exercise becomes an outlet for pent up energy.
Lets see what the crystal ball holds for me...

Reminded of pink floyd every other moment.
And when the ground breaks open , Many years too soon
And there's no room upon the hill.
And when your head explodes with Dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

The warehouse keeper rules!!!!!

Warehouses and marts .. thats what I am supposed to be all about. Kind os obscures your job description. Varying shades of job desc.. from very tough to nothing much... do not know which side to take!!!
As for siding ... have to get aligned with products and three letter acronyms seem floating everywhere!! I know only one very trusted 4 letter word though and am pretty happy using it!!
As I put in time everyday and look forward to something to do , dunno whether I am doing what I want to do and am reduced to evaluate my options and build on my knowledge of things to be done and things that are coming up!!!!
