Its has been quite hectic for the past two months, with very little time for myself, my wife, my folks or my friends. With a very tight work schedule, I have had to work on almost every Saturday and Sunday. Here are a few observations, though, which am sure, seem to be a common malaise among IT and IT-ES professionals:
Am more familiar with the security guard than some of my fellow employees; I have forgotten to dream (forgotten to count sheep as it is called) and instead dream of project deadlines; I fear the adverse comments of my client more than the adverse comments of my wife; My best friends are my office colleagues; I have never witnessed the sunset; Most of my information about my relatives and friends is outdated; By the time I decide to watch a good movie in a theater, it is telecast on the satellite TV channel.
I am more concerned with the office laptop than with my bike; I need reminders on my cellphone to remember my folks birthday; The last break I took was when I got married three months ago; I am so habituated to the use of swipe cards that I am absent-minded and try to use my swipe card to open the front door of my apartment.
These symptoms, I read, are common among IT professionals. Though I am trying to get a life outside the office, its tough balancing the hectic work schedule and my domestic life. Its not easy to get domesticated... Am trying hard :)
