Mission Impossible !!

Gosh...I've got plethora of trainings to complete...u rem those mandatory ones ..don't u..???
Jeezzzzz!!!....1+ month on beach & I'm so lagging behind!!!!

This is the thought churning in the techie's head every day..rather each EOD ..so next morning after the traditional chores..

(u know rt..a day in techie's life involves ...abusing traffic, abusing oneself of being Goofy, GFN(good for nothing) ....vowing each day to become faster, smarter, fitter..... somehow reaching ofc..logging on to FB...(till outlook syncs all folders)...chking everyone's status....pics of ur long lost buddies who are settled in the US ...how thy seem to be enjoying every weekend of their lives...wen u r weekends look so messy n just fly by ...then there are some ppl who u hate so much but thy are still on ur friends' list..looking at their happy faces makes u feel oh so pathetic abt u r life...tht's wen u logout of FB to chk Outlook..only to lock it in less than 2 mins n rush out to grab a cup of coffee)

....the techie(referred to as "U" going forward) registers for some training after careful R&D(asking colleagues which one's easy to wrap up & has easy assessment Qs)
"Industry trainings ...Reforms , 101,202 bla bla bla..."

Okay..so the training page opens...YAWN!!!!!! couple of lines are read through fast,with an exclaimation "Big Deal" ..u move on....
10 lines down..."YAWN 2"...oh oh. u are stuck on the same line for 15 mins...login agn on FB...refresh it cpl of times...nothing worth ogling..
Open up IBNLIVE..."Mayavati to churn out 4 states outta UP...!!" hell yeah..this is the only way she can giv Chetan Bhagat a tough competition..."endless Aishwarya & Big Boss updates later..u flip back to the training page ..
Line 15 agn..for 5 mins "YAWN 3"..so u fall back on the age-old sleep bhagao formula..Music...!!
You queue up some latest songs on the media player & take a shot at the training agn..
"Firms will likely need more capital...........Kun Faya Kun..faya kun faya kun....."  "YAWN 4"
change the song...
"In the near future...Keh do my chammak challo....surely m gonna get u ..."
"YA YA YA.....oh YA YA YA ......Ohhh yay yayyy"....

Your mind totally off the training...u start a random topic of conversation with a colleague right next to u over instant messenger(IM) & then invite more colleagues on the same chat..pull someone's legs & then make a last attempt at the training ..

"Tougher standards linked to...Sadda Haq...etthe rakh ......tum logon ki iss duniya mein har kadam pe insaan galat...main sahi samajh ke jo bhi karun..tum kehte ho galat....!!! "

There u go ...u r so deeply engrossed in the song..everything in your life can be linked to it...this is the perfect song to describe ur life..so u go back listen to this song 4 times on high volume..start headbanging...and get carried away to some unknown destination...!!!

And then the IM flashes again...time for lunch..friends calling up...u shut down the song..rush off for lunch...& are elated that u only have to deal with half-a -day now..as goes for the training page::
"The page has expired due to prolonged inactivity.Please re-login to continue"

The Techie's life moves on..!!
