Workoprofilic


its another normal day at work. I am quite done for the day at 3 in the afternoon and hence decided to blog. Today I decided to elaborate on my office colleagues. Some amount of gyaan to what happens in my entire day.

Anyhoo, I leave my place my 9 and reach Spenta (my current office) by 10.30 and then the say starts by answering mails. And then begins the daily grind of editing articles, writing some and editing more with occasional sutta breaks. Lunch happens at 2 followed by some more work interspersed by some surfing on Manga sites (thank god the IT dept. hasn't banned those) and then its time to leave. Hurray!!!!!

Now some gyaan on my office colleagues.

Talker- Very talkative but also gives good gyaan when in need. Helps when required and in short timpass. Reminds me of college guys Doesn't like jokes cracked on her though.
Smoke buddy- Not very talkative, smoking partner, travel freak, helpful, but very closed up.

Girl 3 - Extremely girly voice (not the kind that grates on your ear though) fun to work with, keeps an arms distance.

(in fact the 3 of them are a group and keep an arm's distance from everyone. We have regular bitching sessions with our cuppa of coffee in the evening along with a sutta. This is how I come to know about all the office politics considering I am new and do not speak much to people. [shy me :P])

Designer 1- Sits behind me. Extremely busy (gives me quite a complex. umm nothing more to say except I Don't interact with her all that much. (though I have heard people speaking about her when she isn't around)

Cranky- American accent. (sheesh someone tell her its not cool to use that accent everywhere) pretty ok writer, I have to edit most of her articles like a 100 times before they are ok to be sent to the client. However still have to use her as it saves the Company some money). Whines a lot. I did the mistake of listening to her once. bug big mistake, now she takes me as someone on who's shoulder she can cry on. sigh!!!

Harem

This is typical category which I learnt during one of the group meetings in the evenings. According to the group they are presided over by a mother.

Mother- extremely sweet. In fact saccharine sweet after a point. but gives work and expects it on time. Pretty good to work with. Liked by most people around here.

Daughter 1- Pretty ok. Haven't interacted more than a lot with her. But from the looks of it, is very close to mother and aloof/diplomatic with the rest.

Daughter 2- Very fragile to look at. but I feel that she is really nice and NOT part of the Harem. Though she always stays with them and is part of the Harem. I get along well with her.

Eyecatcher- Most guys in my class would fall in love with her. In the beginning I was under the opinion that she was beauty without brains, however I think I am wrong on that account. I dunno if she is part of the Harem. But somehow I do not want to work with her. Don't get good vibes. (Has a very irritating laugh)

Hyperactive- She is the most hyperactive females around here. My God! she has energy and a little too much of it. Sometimes gets on my nerves. Someone please tell her that she shouldn't be stuck to her phone all the time. But on the other hand, she gave me my first work here at the company. So in general I Do NOT have any problem with her.

The Goan- It was thanks to her that I got this job. She is not liked much by the group. IN fact they almost hate her and are extremely verbal about it. I haven;t worked with her to know her very well.

The chameleon- She changes her stand every time. I work with her and hence I know...ARGH!!! most annoying. Though she is nice and sweet and all those qualities which are present in most people around here, I have started disliking her little by little) One comment- she is efficient with her work.

Lady Boss- She is the BOSS when it comes to the work I am doing. umm...She is smart and knows when to speak what but somewhere I do not trust her. Though she has been helpful, my instincts are against trusting her. And I do not want to cross her at least not until I have figured her out.

Well I still don't speak much to the rest. Once I do I shall update the list and if I form opinions other than what I have mentioned. Also I guess I need to mix around more with these people else I won't have many people to speak to after college ends.
