Deja Vu

Long Rant  - And very self-involved.

 

This is probably the second time that i am using such a title or something close to it. But the occasions are very different.

 

Why Deja Vu now ? Well, its because I am feeling exactly like how I was feeling last year around, when I was about to quit my previous job. I was extremely frustrated, even more dis-contented with everything going on around me in the office and a general feeling of utter confustion and horrible disgust at myself. All this, repeated all over again right now.. every minute of it!! GoD!!!

 

I dont understand how I manage to get myself so damn frustrated in these jobs. I have hardly completed a year in my latest stint, and i can hardly bear it any longer. I just cant seem to understand.

 

I also am beginning to understand more about the work life in general. Fact is, there is a lot of shitty work that needs to be done in every organization and the guy lowest in the food chain always does it. Thats why, he is the lowest in the chain. Thats his purpose in the company. Only problem is that i get very easily tired of all that and soon reach a stage where I can no longer handle it and want to get out. Also, learning in most of the routine jobs, falls expenonentially, you learn maximum in your first couple of weeks and the learning goes downhill from there-on, unless you are really lucky.

 

Work should have a considerable amount of projects of different types and should not be extensions of one another. So, basically we are talking about a role, that has considerable variety to offer in terms of area of work. These projects should not be repetative or extensions - i.e. each project should be holding on its own, and solving one should not imply that you have already solved 95% of the others (these are just applications/customisations, not really independent projects)
