You are my cup of Tea!
I burnt my tongue over a hot cup of tea this morning! Ouch did that hurt! A very big deal for me, cause now my taste buds are numb and darn! I can’t taste those Christmas cookies today. I don’t think you care do you? Well, never mind… what I was going to actually say is… before you take the risk of burning your tongues by reading the rest of the lengthy Gyaans below, I would like to take a minute to thank each one of you for taking a moment from your 9:15 minutes of work, break from work and pretending to work, to read this! I have received complaints from fellow bloggers that my blogs are lengthy and I need to cut short, which however, is impossible for me. Every time I end the article by thanking the reader for reading, this time I take immense pleasure in thanking you before you read! I was sitting in a workshop this morning and one of the phrases the coordinator mentioned motivated me to write this article. Although a very bad thing to do, my mind slipped away from the workshop and I quickly took a pen and jotted down few pointers which I thought I should use for this article later. Something she mentioned was her CUP OF TEA. I am sure we have all used this phrase somewhere in our life, and I am sure all of us consider something to be our cup of tea! In most of the cases, our career and what we want and what we are doing in life is considered to be our cup of tea! I did not take any effort to realize what my cup of tea is!!! Within minutes I had an article all ready in my head and all I needed was to come back to desk and type it down. Unfortunately folks, my puny head do not have enough memory to store that much data! Well, I have all the dates stored in there for now, the day I first met him, the day I first kissed, the wedding, the day we first fought and the birthdays and others anniversaries and what not! Never mind. I am back at desk, opened the word document to start off and there I go again! I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY WIPED CLEAN OF ALL THAT I WANTED TO TYPE DOWN. Shoot! I need to start thinking all over again. I hate this. The most important criteria of being a writer, is to be able to take a pen and write down in a book. That’s how all great writers have become great writers especially Shakespeare. Mrs. Rose here ladies and gentlemen however is of the special kind or breed! There are many like me, who hate the paper work, who think writing is too much effort, compared to typing. Well, while typing, in a word document we know where we are grammatically wrong!!! I love to type along and I proudly announce I am a great typist! And all great writers, stick to the point or the subject, I on the other hand talk of all the nonsense like above before I get to the point which of course attracts more emails to my inbox on “Rose, please shorten your blogs”!!! ( I am working on it guys, not happening) Let me start now. I dedicate this article to my cup of tea. Which is…..? Too bad guys, you will have to read on to find out!
Being a HR is my cup of tea I thought couple of months ago when I became a Human Resource person. Being a HR means to be Human in the first place and to be resourceful which is the most important criteria! Both of which I feel I suck at! I mean can I even spend one day at work without goofing up with employee records??? Or can I spend one day by not yelling at someone?? Of course NO!!! My non HR folks here kept the full form of HR as Highly Romantic! Ah! How NOT true! But nice full form for HR I must say. I thoroughly enjoy my work though it involves criticality. Anyway, I feel I want to be doing something with myself and others without being questioned as to why I did it and I don’t even want to talk about the implications of the goof ups! If you ask me, I DEMAND right now a resource specially allocated only to me, by Infosys, with whom I can yell at, mess with, lie to, probably land a slap or two when I am angry, be my stress ball, use a profanity with, give a hug once in a while, and take a tea break anytime I want to, someone to accompany me to the rest room even if she/he does not have to answer the natures call, I mean for whatever the reasons, I DEMAND I need one resource all to myself WITHOUT BEING QUESTIONED AS TO WHY I AM DOING THE ABOVE. Sigh! If only we all had that one resource to display the above mentioned mentally inappropriate projections of ourselves right guys? Well, I am sure we all have that resource with us, right here, in our very own company Infosys! A resource who we own but the company pays them! That’s right they come free! Trust me when I say this, I have more than one of such resources, who tolerate all my crap throughout the day and who tolerated all of it throughout my career here and I lovingly call that resource MY FRIEND/FRIENDS. As I am typing this article, I am also on my life guard (the communicator) with a friend who is sitting buildings apart from where I am (Who is also warning me to go home soon as it is getting dark) and communicator is a true life saver for people like me who has my friends sitting so far from where I sit, and I just cannot find the time to go meet them personally to throw my tantrums at, or to share my problems and to spend the drowsy afternoons with ease. Life saver also has emoticons to show exactly how I feel to my friend. Thanks to technology. Though the status of my life shows “Busy” they ping to ask me if I am really busy or “What madam, enough drama, what full busy eh? Or just like showing off with busy status” I hate it when they are right! Though the statuses of my life shows “do not disturb” they ping to ask me “hey, got 5 minutes, quick question” and the conversation would go on for hours. I just love it when I do not realize the pressure of work because of the “quick question” chat. I truly love these people, who care to ask for an autograph though I haven’t yet become a writer. These people who no matter how long the distance is they care to make my walk shorter and come all the way to just have lunch/breakfast with me. These people, who no matter how busy they are, are ready to just take a walk with me, when I am sad, they do not give me any solutions to my always existing problems but they are there to listen, to laugh at a stupid joke, to appreciate a good for nothing blog, and to be ready to chat even though they are
on the DO NOT DISTURB MODE of their own life! I truly love these people who consider me important, who think office is no fun without me around, who treat me like their world, though I feel I am the least important person in this world.
I must add these are those same people who eat up all my snacks which I have bought shamelessly without caring if they have left at least a piece for me. Who check my PMU’s to see if I have some chocolates in hiding, who treat me with sweets and pizzas for “no reason” occasions and at the end of it, do not forget to mention the amount of calorie intake that has gone into my already blown up body, who without fail on a daily basis goggles’ for new insults to use on me, and claims they are his own, who panic about their average login hours and at the same time calm me down by saying “come on, don’t bother about your average, end of day your getting salary na??” and there is one, who is my wallet guard, who ensures I do not spend more than what is required, really I don’t think I need a savings account cause I have that too in my circle of friends!! There is one, who appreciates the way I look and often mentions that I have lost weight (thought I haven’t lost a gram) just to make me feel happy!
Most important ones are those whose comments I earn for on each of my blog, and every time I write, I crave for their comments without which I just cannot judge my writing. However, shameless and annoying they might be, I truly must admit that I cannot imagine spending one single day in this organization or life without these resources beside me. Be it on phone, communicator or in person I realized that MY FRIENDS are MY CUP OF TEA. All these days I thought cup of tea meant what one does for a living, well, in a way, yes it is true, for my living, I need my daily cup of really sweet, lovable, at the same time shameless and annoying brats. Sometimes, they have the right amount of sweetness, sometimes I add a little, some days they are extremely hot and I blow them down, some days I feel AHHHH PUUURRRFECT on my first sip of gossip. They make a wonderful tea in the cup of my life. As the year ends, I am feeling top of the world to state that I stretched today (Yippeee my average will increase by 0.2 hours) just to let you guys know I Rose Pais personally take the pride to own each one of you, given to me free of cost to be called as friends and guys, be aware that you are my daily dose of tea which I cannot exist without! I would not have passed through this horrible year from moving from single status to married, from a solution design to Highly Romantic I mean a Human Resource person and I could solely not complete my insane day with a smile on my face without you around. THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE. MAY YOU BE WITH ME IN ALL THE YEARS TO COME IN MY CUP OF LIFE! LOVE YOU GUYS! Again, thanks for reading
