It has been a while since I blogged. If you think I am one of those show offs who claims to have limited time on her hands, you are right! How is it that people have to go to the parlor and spend hours there, they have time to call their boyfriends and spend hours on the phone, they have time to go shopping, but, yet they have no time for that ten minute call even once in a month. Well, I am sure there are multiple people out there asking the same question about me, but, I really don't have the time! (psst psst: my best friend has been asking me this question for the last 4 weeks!)
Well, I have gone from being a student for the last ten months back to being employed now! Feels good. The 12 AM on the 25th of every month henceforth, and for the last 3 months, I have been getting an SMS from HDFC bank which says my salary has been credited. And this has to be THE best thing that has come out of me going back to being employed. The work is good, hectic as it is. It's matter for another blog entry about how my month-end now begins on the 15th of the month!
This is my first job at a "big corporate" and for people from the previous generation, having a 5 day work weeks and the concept of work-from-home was unheard of, they can be quite confusing. My first 3 days of my working-from-home, my dad called me every hour to find out if I was still working or if I had actually told people at office that I am and I had taken off on a shopping trip with my sister! There have been a couple of Saturdays when I had to go to work for one reason or the other, my mom in all her innocence asks me, will they pay you for this. Being from the era of industrialization, she thinks my logging in from home also deserves extra pay! I wish!!

Nice article :)
ReplyDeleteWell, it's one thing working from home being comfortable to you and another for the people at the human network sighing (another day without that nutcase, what a relief!!!)... kiddin :P
But, getting paid extra for the work from home actually makes sense. Especially in the case of a corporate like Cisco. It would be good brand advertising for them and having people come in on scheduled three days a week would mean more productivity with a lesser number of workstation docks. A greener company also, by many standards I suppose. What do you think?
