Rambling on

Today begins with this song:



Come as you are
As you were
As I want you to be
As a friend
As a known memory

This week had to do some 'work from home' testing. Though this has become a very popular option, working from home has its pros and its cons.
Pro - you get to be @ home
Con - you have to work :)
Jokes apart, working from home is a pain because:
A) You never get to take a break - who do u go to have coffee with. You turn around and there's no one to speak to... just the 'study' table looking at you expectantly or the bed looking cozy and tempting.
B) You just can't get up and go away for a while - Just when you tell people brb, there's an urgent request that you have to handle immediately.
C) When you are at office, you can just turn around and ask people to do whatever it is that they've got to do. When you're at home... you patiently wait for them to do it. Patience! Its such a virtue...I've learned.

Another thing I've learned and seem to keep learning every single day is that you never really get what you want, you just have to learn to want what you get.
You get back home early, but its not the right day for it. When its the right day, you're in office working late. Finally its the right time, the right day and you're back, but it begins to rain... so disappointing! Then what you do is enjoy the sweet smell of the rain and the cool breeze, because complaining is not going to change a thing.,, so might as well enjoy the pitter-patter.

Watched two movies:
I am Sam : Sean Penn and Michelle Pfeiffer in what I consider their best performances. And Dakota Fanning, to play such a powerful role at that age. Amazing!

The Apartment: This is an old classic that I've been waiting to watch for a long time now. An insurance agent who rents out his apartment to the biggies in his office, such that they have a place to take their mistresses. A romantic comedy that makes you smile all through.

There, another week goes by. In a couple of weeks, it'll be June and we'll already be half way through the year. That's another thing I've learned, no matter what you're doing/thinking, the clock just keeps ticking. Might as well do things that you like and get past the time, than wait for the right time... if there ever is such a thing as that!

That's enough rambling for now. Ciao
