Either more or less but never even!

I was feeling like a 7th grader who wonders how to name his preci-writing passage in the exam. Well, I wanted to write something but the content that was in my mind was so diverse and digressed that coming up with a suitable title had become a Herculean task. But after careful analysis of the content, I figured out the central theme of this post and named it accordingly.

For the welfare of you guys who are wondering what this is going to be all about – it’s about my JOB!

There have been days when I’ve felt that 12 hours is really not enough to complete even 30 % of my work. I have sweated all through the night to finish it. On the other hand, there have been days (like today) when I have literally nothing to do. This drives me real crazy. Tell me, what would I do sitting before my computer all day long?

I can check my email. May be I could refresh it every 10 minutes to check for a new mail, which I know for sure wouldn’t have come. All my friends are super cool, they flood my box when I’m busy but leave it dry and desolate when I’m looking forward to mails. I can’t blame them because I know they are also experiencing the same problem.

The next thing that I could do is to check my blog and see, if any gracious soul has been kind enough to read my rantings and have left a comment, but for how long? I guess I would hurt my index finger by striking the F5 key very often!

I’m just wondering, is there not a way by which people can have work evenly distributed across the days? I’m not asking for more nor am I asking for less, all I’m asking is work for 8 hours. Well, if this happens, it would be a dream come true!!

I don’t know if this happens in other industries but this is what is happening in the s/w industry. God, bless the pour souls who call themselves IT professionals from going bonkers due to the lack and lakh of work.
