I knew I hadn't written all these days and when M brought up the statistics to highlight my absence, I was embarrassed. I really can't define what had kept me occupied all these days. May be just that my mind was a plain mess, may be it was lethargy, may be it was just the lack of time...anyway, I want to pull myself back a little bit at a time.
I told you that my old boss was leaving and he offered to take me along and I refused, right? This was way back in January. After that a whole lot of things happened and I've not come home before 8 o'clock after that. :-) Does it define everything that entailed? I don't know, but that summarizes a lot of things as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, for the next two months I got a new boss, a guy who knew nothing about what we were doing and whose boss didn't think greatly of him. So for some time, we were under the dual pressure of teaching him things and delivering 'better' because he wanted to gain his boss's confidence back. But before he settled down, we got another new boss, this time a guy from the 'other side', the guy with who my peers and I had quite few differences in the past. But for some reason, the same peers and also some of my seniors thought I was going to be singled out for some bad treatment by this new guy. People spoke to me and said I should be careful what I talk to this guy and disagree with him as less as possible, knowing my reputation of not always agreeing with my bosses. Some of them even called up and laughed at me and asked what I was going to do now. I didn't know what to think.
Now, after about three months, I still don't know what to think of him. He was very nice to me to start off with, we had or rather I had a couple of rounds of fights subsequently, we get along splendidly most times but I'm still not happy. I'm feeling like the proverbial donkey with a thankless job. My personal life is almost zero and I'm becoming a workaholic but with no satisfaction by the end of the day. So, now is the time to do something about it, right?
