I cannot believe I've actually joined a company named after an insect!!!! So it's a start up. So I had nothing to do with the brand name. But when I heard the name, I kind of gagged and wished I were dead! DON'T ask me what it is. Just trust me that it's named after an insect (sob sob sob sob)
Problem no 2 of course is the physical proximity with the heavens above (read 10th floor). And it doesn't help when the guard confirms in the affirmitive that the lifts are known to break down and be stuck for hours.
Problem 3 is that I have no clue what a peepal tree looks like. So yesterday when I was looking for parking, I asked the attendant where my office parking was. His answer was next to the "peepal" tree. I turned around and saw like a forest of trees and couldn't distinguish one from the other. I pointed in some vague direction and said "That one?" "Peepal peepal". Not a people's person is he!!! Didn't want to do a bimbo act so didn't pursue the topic. Went ahead and asked the other attendant. "Next to the peepal tree". Now am googling peepal images!
Problem 4 is that my office hasn't given me a parking sticker. So if I even do manage parking it's costing me 100 bucks a day. So the entire salary jump basically benefits the government parking pockets and I'm still taking home the same money
Problem 5 is that the new office believes in a 6 day working though officially is a 5 day week. They fix up daily meetings at 6pm and start at a god forsaken 9am. If you know me, you'll know I'm not a morning person in the mornings and not an evening person in the evenings. Hence am grumpy through the day
But you know what....I'm just a big fat (and becoming fatter) crib so ignore my whining...... Had to let the steam out....
Shit! They're making me travel this weekend! :'(

just 100 bucks !!!
wow.. I am going to love India even more when I'll be there. Everything is so cheaper in India :)
and rahi baat of your problems... well... give them sometime ... they will find sme new murga(murgi) :P
BTW u can now read the final mssg
hope your office has good ergonomical chairs. we have to park the most important part of our body for a long time in those ;)
Solution 1 - "Namaskar, I am Zee and I'm calling from Keeda Enterprises. We squish your troubles away !!" ... see, convert the name to a catchy tagline! BTW, why'd you join a company without knowing its name ?
Solution 2 - Take the stairs, which will in turn take care of exercising. Waah, whoever thought they would pay you to lose weight !!
Solution 3 - http://photos3.flickr.com/3749858_92c859e898_m.jpg
Solution 4 - Give the guard a tenner each day. The car will remain safe and sound where-ever you leave it. Money saved per month = 2700 rupees. Treat me with it when I'm back.
Solution 5 - Do not, repeat, NOT .. buy any firearms.
You're welcome!
u r company is going on the lines of "caterpillar" i guess :)
BUG?! I thought you told me its something else?! Or is it a new division of the company you're talking about?
My sympathies to you for paying a bomb for parking! CP is like that only.. ask Ank for sound advice...
Buyer's remorse, is what it is. Problem 5 would be a huge problem for me as well.
BPSK

Where do they ask you to travel that displeases you so much? Even if it's free? LOL!
Good luck with the insect company! Could be worse. It could be named after some body organ that no one really likes to know about :) Hey, just putting things in perspective :P
10th floor would be great..esp when u forget ur mobile in ur car..and u come to know about it after reachin ur room..and if everythin goes per plan the lift wont work either when u get back..nice cheering up..eh..;-P

You park your car either in the morning or in the evening. You are not a morning person nor an evening person; the attendant is not a people's person.. So which one is true...?
