Your the best soul one could possibly find. The epitome of patience and grace. The best child , the best friend , the best student and the like.One who is ever ready to volunteer and lead. The true companion and lone crusader.But one fine day the person lands himself his/her dream job and all hell breaks loose.
The qualities described above seem to pack their bags and leave on a long vacation.Before you pat yourself Im'nt talking about the dedication and other stuff. The moment when there is a 'boss' to boss over the prince and princess, that is the moment science fiction movies are inspired off.Rockets are launched, sky is filled with a bright hue of red, meteorites seem to char through each other and if it was our Thalaiva's movie even a mini whirlpool is created. After all this is also launch of our superstar 'The Big Bad Ego '.
People, we are not angels and saints so its acceptable. The second we receive orders, that is when we realize that we could be that mean.The spoilt brat wakes up with a jolt.The numerous 'May I Help U"columns, the endless advice received and the gyaan which we once gave to others all seem as a distant dream.It all boils down to " Who is he to gimme orders???"
Its ok !!! Now I know how it feels. So, NO Miss. Goodie Twoshoes advice this time.We are hurt and it is not at all motivating to go and see that person's face again.That doesn't mean we are this bunch of lazy boys and girls who need an excuse not to work.We are this young adults in this transition phase of life and will come out with brighter colours than our predecessors.
Our poor EGO though big and bad is hurt and definitely needs mending. A bitching party with friends may be helpful in a big way.But a word of caution here,stay away from your office colleagues they can be badder than your boss.Then there is our constant friend with lots of love and lot more calories"Chocolate".And the sun definitely will smile on us.
P.S :Writing a blog on absolutely nothing helps too....
For my friends in their first job
Its awful .................... but we are too good for the boss :P
It's a reflection of what goes on in my life. I remember the advice I'd been giving my friends.
ReplyDeleteAm getting a preview of the sufferings (that are to follow when in a job) in the recent days.
1. Your superiors and/or colleagues will have cold wars. One will order to do something which cannot be done without permission from the other.
2. Someone will hint you about 'not to do' things. If you risk it with 'lets face it' attitude, you'll get an "I told you so" look.
3. People will use you up in front of a superior (or hot) figure to showcase themselves powerful and commanding.
P.S.: I feel like a worm and cannot co-exist with these HUMANs. But, am confident that I'll grow up Someday. :-P
I totally get it! :D
