The Best week of my life (till now)!

The week of the interview was bad. I got the rejection and had no place else to go. Only thing that could make it worse was the requirement specs that I needed to write without knowing virtually anything. And what do you know, I got that also.
Sometimes you think what else can go wrong now! So optimistic! I got everything going against me.

But the week that followed was a lot easier to start. I had passed the ball back in the Co-coordinator’s court. Then there was some juggling but it was relatively easy.

Come Thursday and I got a call for HR interview and the day I was supposed to go attend was Friday. What more could one ask for? I went on and came to know that my rejection was because of my “easy-going” attitude. I need to fix that! Anyway the interview went well and I was told that results will be communicated to me by Monday. Well, as is usual for me I got the results on Thursday, the day I resigned and the day when the Parser Team got wiped out. Good for them (myself being one of them).

Since then many of our teammates are considering “Parser Team” to be the way out (in case the need one). I don’t know about the people but I know that it felt good. Knowing that I’d be free from this trap and I’d be working for a change.
Yeah I know how foolish it sounds, but that’s the truth. For the last 11 moths I have been in Wipro all I have done could have easily been done in a month and now I am supposed to do a “Knowledge Transfer”.

The first question that comes to my mind is what am I supposed do in these KT sessions? I groped around and found that I am supposed to tell my successor all I have learnt about the system so that he can continue without problems. Well if I had learned about the system or created anything new I would have told him, but as of now I don’t know shit about the system (actually I don’t think anyone knows)! All I did was to translate one linked list (tree actually) into anther kind and that’s what my successor will be expected to do. There is only one teeny weenie change. I used to dump the statements in file and he would have do make an in memory representation of the data. The later sounds easy.

Anyway I told him all I know, and he seems happy with it and is experimenting. Actually I know very less because all I know is because when I needed the information I dug or it and then use it. As it stands there is a lot of information inside and I don’t know anything abut it just because I never needed to know. But who cares! Those days are past and I can look forward to a better life away from the South and in Noida.

Looking forward to the day my PM relieves me.
