stopping by the office on a sunday afternoon..

for the people who dint get that..i wanted to make it sound like the "stopping by the woods on a snowy evening" by robert frost...

anyways... i finally took my turn at supporting our 24*7 applications this weekend... my mom thot i was going on some sorta camping thingy..she packed me an apple and a banana and a huge 1 litre bottle of water..she offered to pack in curd rice,chips and chocolates also..i put my foot down..

so day one (18th March)

i get to office at 2 pm to see a whole bunch of ppl outside office..(walk ins are on) look at them and think...poooooooooooor souls..donno wat they in for..wanted to tell them..puhlease think twice before u accept.. anyways get to cubicle to find a whole bunch of ppl there..wow i thot it wud be empty on saturdays..so socialize with a couple of them..bitch abt the boss and then check my batch.. one job in error..had no clue wat to do and hence re-start the job..it completed successfully even b4 i cud check..well anyways wat do i have to loose..wait for the other batch to start.. then at 3 40 the link(network conn btn india and london) goes kaput!!!!! vanish..lost..i had a mini heart attack..shit had i screwed something up.???.. looked up to see that the other folks were also streching..then come the party words..."planned outage" in case u wondering what this means..it means they decided to cut the link... so wat is my poa..call the ocs(onsite co-ordinators) and tell them tat i cant check anything from here.. one guy says"have a nice weekend,go home", the other guy is all grumpy and makes it sound like my fault!!!!!!!!
sit around for a bit..get a cup of coffee..bond with co-worker (who if i met outside work wud call aunty..).she discusses her marital problems with me..heck i dont even have a boy frnd!!!(wud she listen to mine :D) then pack and decide to go home..hit the gym and call office every half an hour to find out if by any crude twist of fate the link had "come up"...no news till 7 so head back home instead..
