What Am I Doing???

…One question which I pose to myself daily, but with no answer since a week. Getting released from a project and be idle in an IT company is like a hell and constantly reminds me of the old proverb “Idle man’s brain is devil’s workshop”. This is very apt in this context. I was never without work in my career till last week (Don’t be under illusion that I work complete 9 hours a day, but 7-8 hours and > 9 occasionally was more than enough to go back home thinking I did my job for today). Suddenly after 4.5 years, now sitting idle and spending time doing nothing entire day is making me feel sick, seriously sick.

I am not comfortable this way and the worst part is, me being pretty new to this city where I am put up now. Friends!!! No way … people here mostly speak only one language and don’t find time to spend with new folks. Apart from this, weather here is horrible and that sucks my energy to extreme when I am outside …

My daily activities since a week in office:
- Check emails.
- Breakfast
- Check emails
- Coffee
- Spend time in browsing (Most of the sites from which I can download eBooks in pdf are
blocked) :((. So, spend time in reading news online
- Lunch
- Check emails.
- Speak to managers for projects
- Coffee
- Get out of the office.

I wish, I could learn new things reading books (Subjects but not general stuff) but no library in this branch office … I got my own books for couple of days, in vain. I yawn immediately after reading 5 pages, close the book have some coffee to get fresh, read for 5 more pages then yawn again … decided this is not going to happen and now what? Books are back to the place where they belong to … Having worked in “finding faults” (not with humans, but with code n functionality) for most of the time, I am left with very little knowledge now to start developing my own projects to spend time … and finally, the last option I felt was to spend time in discussions with good looking girls :) :) … Again, could not find one in this branch office:):)…

Seems, it’s been already written that I had to be like this for some time till I am into the project … Feeling too difficult to be dreary …… One of the ways I think, to spend time is blogging to which I am fairly new …
