A forward I liked
07.28.05 (3:54 pm)   [edit]

Signs that you've been in the IT industry too Long...


1.) U use phrases like "No issues" and "Value addition" in everyday parlance. For e.g. When talking about your doodhwalla, U say, "His
milk does zero value addition to my health but he is the only guy around so no issues"
2.) Ur prime source of entertainment is the forwards send to U by friends whose faces U cant remember.
3.) U drink more tea or coffee than water. :)
4.) When a half-day at work means leaving at 7:30 in the evening (and U actually feel guilty about it).
5.) U keep trying to shut down ur home computer by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del (used to lock office comps)
6.) After U switch on your TV, U spend some time looking for a mouse.
7.) U send Microsoft Office mails with voting buttons to fix the time for a meeting with friends. :)
8.) When ur mobile rings at home, U rush outside to receive the call.
9.) When U make calls at home, U accidentally dial "0" to get an outside line.
10.) U havent played Solitaire with real cards in years.
11.) U tell everyone your favourite book is "Who Moved my Cheese?" when in reality U couldnt even finish that. Ur real favourite book is
the Oracle manual for PL/SQL.
12.) Ur last crush was a girl in HR, ur current crush is the new girl in HR and all ur crushes in the future will be girls in HR.
13.) U secretly visit sites like jeevansathi.com and shaadi.com and hope no one is watching, especially that girl in HR.
14.) U dont go abroad anymore, but go 'on site'. And when U go 'on site' your mama, chacha and l'il cousin Chintu come to see u off.
15.) U spend the entire day reading forwards, smoking cigarettes, drinking tea/coffee and playing T.T. and then complain about the late
working hours.
16.) Ur important 'meetings' usually comprise two or three people max, including yourself.
17.) U keep pressing Ctrl+Enter wondering why your gmail is not going.
18.) U substitute bad words like MC, BC with ML & PL (Module Leader & Project Leader).
19.) U secretly prepare for CAT only to find ur PL sitting behind you at the exam.
20.) Ur criteria for visiting a restaurant is whether it accepts 'Ticket restaurant' coupons or 'Sodhexo' passes.
21.) U email ur mate who works at the desk next to U.


22.) U read this list and kept nodding & smiling. :)
23.) As U read this list, U r thinking of sending it to ur friends who are also in IT. ;)


For lack of a better post... :D
