Last but one day.......

Ahhh... the last but one day here at work......Need to get all the no-dues signed.. unfortunately my project manager hasnt turned in yet.... he has to sign it first...so while he comes.. here is me blogging away....

Joined here on 10th July 2003. I still remember the day when I came here for an interview....(i dont remember the date though..;-). The place looked so nice in comparison to my earlier office. The reception area is well made with a beautiful kuthuvilakku... a nice desk and two lovely couches (you could cosily sleep on them...hehehe). Flower pots at the entrance, well made conference rooms... and I could go on.....

Wondered if I would get in this place.....and I did.....joined here on 10th as mentioned above...Lots of imposition on the first day itself...(joining formalities....) and yea, I had only half day office (hehe school madhiri....)

First two months was vetti@office.com. We came in at 9, self learning till 12, lunch, then self learning till 6, snacks and then home was the routine...We were 6 of us who joined initially.

Then came training sessions by Harshini Mahanama (we all had our own doubts if she was related to cricketer Roshan Mahanama, and :-( she wasnt....), she had come down from USA to train us in the process and the product. Two weeks of rigorous (??!!) training and then came the day when we actually started work....

Work was tiring but we did enjoy it in the beginning. Later we were in different shifts.. and my first night shift...wow.. and I was alone.. That idiot Balaji who was supposed to be with me, was on leave for a week and imagine, I was the only person on floor....scary...... urupadiyaa veedu poi seruvomaanu irundhudhu.... But I managed and later started enjoying my night shifts (until it started screwing my health....;-)

Life went on.. and we recruited more people into our team.. the team strength increased and so did the work load.

To be continued......(My project manager has come....)
