The Surge of Urge
Its been that kind of a day. Just seems like nothing went right through the day. The frustration is accentuated when you realize that people around you and who claim to have your best interests at heart are all 'put-ons' of the first rate and wouldn’t think twice before stabbing you in the back.
To find people moving up the ladder just because of an inanity called the 'Gift of the Gab', while you know that your little finger can probably think better than all their brains put together, just puts you off.
The thought of putting in my papers has crossed my mind several times the past few days, yet the sense of almost obligatory jubilation that I have to endure at my company’s extremely good results is also, in small way, ensuring that I hang on!
The frequent holidays in the last week or so have seemed like sheer drudgery between this ‘surge of urge’. But how could that be? I am not particularly enjoying my job and yet, my days off from office seem difficult to get by (should have listened to Vishal and got a more interesting social life earlier!!). An Oxymoron if ever there was one....'moronish' it certainly is....or is this a symptom of turning into a workaholic? I checked with my brother and luckily it’s not yet a medical condition that the docs deem they need to work on (no pun intended).
I have been trying to get over this drudgery by planning a trip to my B-School to work out opportunities to spend some time with juniors. But like the proverbial rock, I have been steady enough not to get out of my cocooned haven on holidays, thus postponing it week after week, even though the thought of having wasted an entire day at home keeps coming back to haunt me at the end of every day off that I have ‘enjoyed’.
I shall do this 'back to school' business very shortly, even if it calls for a trip down to the ol' a lma mater on a Sunday.
The silver lining in all this is the fact that I am off next week on a week long jaunt across Maharashtra. Irrespective of however honest your intentions are and even with the leitmotif being 'work, official travel is fun, especially given that very little work, albeit the official kind, actually gets done when you are out of office!!!!

Thanks for your comments da, I too suffer from this chronic gift that others bestow upon me for working hard being honest..its called the " backstab policy" which though is not in the policies, but prevails more often than not.I am planning to put down papers too some time in jan...obviously hoping that my CAT and GMAT go well.I plan to go around on a 1 month trekking tour across India and take up a photography course/meditation course to cool my overwoked heels before i join a prospective B school next year in june/july.
Which B school?
A very good one, apparently..though I dont think it matters at all in the scheme of things...
