I haven't had anything interesting to say, so I haven't said anything at all...

Yawn!!! I feel so terrible to start this post like this.. But (hmmm..There is always a but) my week has been very uninteresting and mainly frustrating… so I cant help it!! I am so bored of working.. (Or maybe not working??). I have been just reading documents or writing documents since the past two weeks... The problem with working in a big company is that you will have loads of documentation work to do.. like Specification Doc, Weekly report, Status of the report, Report of the status and what not !

There is another thing, which gets on my nerves apart from the darn documentation work.
For people like me who are really restless, It really gets irritating when people don’t just come to the point.. This happens a lot at workplaces..
I had this conversation two days back with my boss over the phone.. This is how it goes..

“As you know that Jan* wont be available till next year as she is going on leave for Christmas…If you have any doubts on blah blah blah.. to be clarified from blah blah blah. As I have already mentioned that you can mail/call her and get your doubts cleared. Blah blah… “. By the time she kept the receiver down, I was like… “Yawn!! Watching the movie "Tere Naam" was better off!!” She could have saved time and spared me by just saying “Get all your doubts cleared from Jan before she goes on a leave”. (Jan is not the month January dumbo.. Jan is my on-site project manager.. We all address her by her first name.. coz her name is Jan Lowe) Is it just me, or does everyone get annoyed with such people who don’t come to the point and repeat what has been already told?

How can you possibly tell such people to just come to the point? You can’t possibly tell them “Oh just cut the crap and come to the point will you?”
How about this one: “Umm.. Err could you come to the point please?” This would still sound rude.

Aaarrrrgh!! I guess I’ll just have to live with it!!
