B.O.R.E.D

Got a call from an HR consultant last evening (these calls happen to me ONLY when I am NOT job hunting). For open positions in some Analytics KPO. I said I wasn't exactly looking for a change. And definitely not to a KPO. The consultant was shocked (Bangalore.. Outsourcing.. KPO.. Get?). You ask why? Because an Analytics KPO is for two types - the extremely bright ones and complete fools. Where do I belong? Bang in the middle. Worth it? Totally!

On that note, I also went FB trolling (Errr.. Now that I am back on Facebook and all) after very long today. Oh and the exhibitions continue. So does Facebook PDA. Get a room! Why am I back on FB? Because I missed a few friends and random nonsense conversation with people I share parts of my history with - school mates and college mates and ex colleagues. Some kindred souls. People's travel albums. People's kiddie pictures. My kiddie pictures. Worth it? Totally!

There are so many totally faltu blogs around these days. What are people thinking? It wasn't the same in the good ol' days. Worth it? Not so much! (That's why I used to have a blogroll!)

So. Note to self: Should make better plans for tomorrow so I don't go internet crawling all over again like a loser. On some days, it can get quite annoying.

Orkut got phased out. When will the same happen to FB? And why on earth am I still addicted?

Ok so here's an FB photo caption that TRULY deserves a "WHY????" - 'My hubby with our second car'

Also, women who go live in these gloomy cold countries, thanks to their onsites (and more often than not, their husband's onsites)... How is it that they come back to India after 2 years abroad and seem to have forgotten everything about what they call "the Indian summers"? The dust and heat and all that blaaaah! Ladies, weren't you born and brought up in India and survived Indian summers for 20+x years? Then why on earth are you talking like a firang?

People I tell you! Ma says FB will be a cause for social disaster. Now I don't disagree. It's like everyone has found a platform to showcase something or the other. And most often, it's stupidity/ the money they earn/ both. LOL!

Subtle is where

To start with, why are wedding invitation websites ALWAYS so SUPREMELY tacky? And why on earth would a wedding invitation website have a link that says "Wedding gift ideas" with ideas like Diamond earrings?

The Curiosity Diaries, Part 1

Why do people mention their LinkedIn profile link in the Website field of their Facebook profile? Why why why?

And while we are at it, please go read this NOW. This article is everything I have ever wanted to say about a lot of things :P

?

... How did the world survive before the glorious days of Excel? :-|
... Why is there such a the thin line between making the client happy, if only in the beginning, and client servicing, that so many of us refuse to see it? (It's really not that thin!)

... Why is common sense so uncommon that it lies unheard and uncared for somewhere on the brink of turning into a superpower? (I can actually imagine poor common sense feeling so left out - thanks to an acquaintance's FB status update for this weird imagery!)

I am going to feed my curiousity (yeah, sure!) on (or with? Too tired to frame this sentence correctly, but I am obsessive and I will still blog, whether my 2 and a half readers bother to read or not) some nice hot Bong dinner followed by Bong rasagullas.

P.S. - Just realised that 2 of the 2 and a half readers are me. At this rate, soon I will have a full 3 people reading the blog. No, I promise. I'm not on anything!
