Office Office :)

.
.
Hmm...Finally It has happened!! I have moved from the vella chunk of the society to the 'Respectable', 'Earning' and the 'KaamKaaji' lot!!
And for all those who r suspecting my case...hey m prepared wid all proof!! Ive got my first Pay check to effectively Validate that! :)

The lucky company that I gave the opportunity to have my name in its employee database happens to be Hughes Systique ... I shall try my best not to dubaao the company ;)

The joinin date was 15th sept...full 4 months after my Engg exams...so I had ample time to laze around..ghoomo phiro..get bored..n get terribly out of touch of my non existant programming skills :P

Anyways..finally the D Day came..N I was all set to join the great bandwagon of IT professionals! As expected, I was a lil nervous the day before..I feared the geeks (the NSITians,IIITians n the lot!)that I would have to jhelo in the coming days!

I reached the office premises before time..thats coz I started early considering the office is 40 kms from my place. The first impression of the office building was lyk...well..ohhh..ok..is this the one! This Dhinchakly painted piece ;). Jst kidding..the place is nyc, small n comfy..The interiors are nicely done..n the best part of the setup is the Cafetaria..where we are served free lunch n ofcourse the yummy mouth freshner after it :).Now after 3 weeks of joinin..the place seems lyk it was forever mine!

The first day was largely occupied with completin the joinin formalities,gettin to know the 'Geeks'..ohh well a thought about the geeks...They all are good,normal,warm people...they may be phodu types..but they know how to have fun too!!

So from the next day onwards our sessions for the Training began..they were a mix of Orientation programmes in the first week...HR,IT,the MD of the company,Company Policies,The Renu Mattoo session...while we slept through the sessions..we made 'judicious' use of the free time by indulging in endless rounds of Dumb Charades, Cows n Bulls, The Teela sessions n ya ofcourse the Adda Talks! :) Also thr wer Bdday parties n the frisbee gaming championships!

The next week came n it introduced us to certain technical sessions n we continued with the 'judicious' use of time... Though this time the sessions seemed longer than before and various new 'Jargons' were introduced to us which made lil sense ;)!!

Then there was the third week...was the week when the Sine wave went to bottom peak!
This week was damn tiring! The batch(29 ppl) were devided into 2 grps..protocols n applications..n now seperate sessions were held. The hours became longer, the schedule tighter, the technical details grew messier,the 'Jargons' heavier...no syncronised breaks meant less masti too :(!! But then the gr8 respite came for us! Yes then came The Pay Day :) n seeing the first Pay made us feel worthy of something.. :) n happier too!! :)

Now jst another week of trainin is left..n then would come the real test..Ohh test reminds me that we actually had to go though the Test Saga as well..but the engineering experience came in handy this tym..n we managed well :P

So..thats the story so far..I actually loving the office experience...N I luv to say that m not following Mrs Mattoo's theory ;) for Ive made some fantab frens here :)

Thats it for now! More later :)
