I had been toying with the idea of writing a blog since I wrote the first one.

But much like following up on new year's resolutions, we very often need to be nudged to actually get started. For me the nudge came in the form of free time till I start my job, offering to help in setting up everything. So short on excuses to procrastinate any longer, here I am! Here goes my work life...

My first job out of college was at an Aluminum industry.

I partly loved it,partly hated it. Every day was a perfect combination of boredom, excitement ,back pain, rigor to work and complaints from our seniors. The plant was hot in the winter and hotter in the summer. My coworkers were of all ages and my boss was a grumpy old jerk(everybody fondly calls him Ike).Ike was the personality who made my job worthless and boring.Fortunately, the pay sucked and there were no benefits,which were enough to chuck the job. Nevertheless, I needed money and I needed experience. Fast. So, I sucked it up and did the best I could.I spent a year there. And although I didn’t realize it at the time, I actually learned a lot about business, sales, service and life. Miss those times with Pandi,Saranya,Sathish,Jinil, lots of other people and also Goli and UB ;)

Little did i know that I would work at a McDonalds after coming to the ' STATES ', though I had ideas of eating there . A short time at the MD , seemed an eon to me, was actually fun filled with little embarrassment calling out the orders .I got a shift to another food place , AVI and I was so happy. I did miss a few fun times with the people I worked with at the Mc Donalds ( vin n ram) but for the most part was glad to be out of there. Plus it was really nice not to be calling out orders. I learnt a lot about food and now I miss happy lunches with Abhi and Dhee.Then came my stint at my Professor's lab .I didn't feel sick everytime I had to go into work anymore. I wanted to be at work and it had been a long time since I felt like that.

Meanwhile I did some payless jobs like waking up DADDY , reminding people of birthdays , giving some ideas to Anu, cleaning up sinks wherever I go and cooking !!

I am out of school with a Masters degree and no job.Months passed by .... no job . Weeks went by...no job yet . Days rolled over....couldn't I find a job? Yes , found one at SUBWAY and almost started work , then came my INTEL offer kingsize . Looking forward to work in the chippy,processory environment.
Young ladies my age would be on the course of being somebody's wife,So, how could I, a small girl, go all the way to live & work in an alien environment? :)
