Project O2 and A Break From Blogging

17 05 2008

Mourn Identity:

So, turns out I didn’t make the ISRO test. That kinda hit me hard. I am still trying to come to terms with it. I don’t know about the job, but it would have felt nice just to have cleared the test. But that didn’t happen. So now, instead I have to feel like shit. I know I am no Electronics God, but I know my basics and I can work out problems. I sure was rusty when I attended the test, having put no preparation in and that’s my fault. (It can attributed to a few other reasons too, but that’s not nice. It’s better to just accept it that you failed yourself.) What this also means is that I might have to now take up my Software job. :( The one last straw of hope I was clinging on to, is gone. That’s depressing isn’t it ? :(

Project O2: (Which has nothing to do either with ISRO or O2 for that matter) 

Anyway, I have been given a project to work on. At least something to cheer about. It’s nothing great, but if I have to make it fully functional, I’ll have to work on it a bit. (Maybe not as much as my Final Year Project, but considerable amount of work.) The best thing is, I might get paid a token amount if I complete it properly and on time. So, I am trying to keep myself in better spirits.

Break (No, not the Big Break!!)

That means except for the IPL posts which I have time stamped (just one line dumb posts), I don’t plan to blog for a while now. I would like to kick myself instead for being an a-hole and not doing my test well. So much for my Rocket Scientist dreams. Damn it!!

Hey, join the club. I didn’t make ISI either. And I didn’t study either.

You know how it is with these things, there’s very few openings, so on that day if a few people are better than you it goes against you. It’s greatly to your credit that you got that far anyway.

I didn’t get into ISI either. It might be because I didn’t apply. So you’re not alone!

@George,

Thanks for the support. :) Statistically speaking, yes. :)

@Sivakumar,

Carry on with what ?

@Rachel,

I am scared of hurricanes. Even normal canes for that matter. :) I am honored that Sivakumar spelt my name right finally. He must have sympathised.

@Marc,

You wanted to be in ISI ? Seriously ?
