Resignation ;)

Today i wrote in one more resignation to HPCL I have been jumping jobs for the past 3-4 months and finally feel i am somewhere where i will stabilize.

It started coz of some stupid thoughts and the main reason was The Green Grass on the Other Side Syndrome. When i was in samsung i would hate that job, coz of reasons which feel so stupid now, and their was this rush of getting to know how it feels to put forward a resignation. It feels good actually when you do it, you feel powerful, free. The last few days in the office after you have resigned, you walk like a king, with no one able to say anything to you, everyone being in their bestest form in front of you, and then when the last day comes you feel so aweful and wonder if you can revert back.

I joined HPCL only to find out that PSU's suck big time. Their was this feeling inside of me, that if an organization takes out such a massive written test all over india followed by interviews scheduled in every corner of the country , it must be good, But the only thing good about that job, was the Money, respect & security. I was made the Retail up gradation Officer in Ahmedabad Region and job was to look after all the 180 petrol pumps in the region take care of their maintenance and modernization and construction of all new pumps in the region and to look after all the purchase activities of the Ahmedabad region.
I was initially awestruck by the amount of respect these public dealing jobs have, people double my age will come to me and talk to me like i am some politician. Every one will call me 'Sahab', the contractors licking my butt every time. In my office there were people who will are there just to move files from one table to another, there were clerks and others just to look after file work. The pantry boy will come to my desk for tea 3-4 times a day. When i will have to go for a site visit the guy will pick me up from my house and drop me back to my house. I had to look for a place to stay there and a contractor even offered me his house which was vacant.
But there was not much work to do, all i had to do was release Purchase orders, Sign Bills, and keep a track of construction activities to make sure they are completed in time. Their was nothing technical where i will have to apply my mind, It was all in all a managerial Job so i decided to leave it. Now i work at Fluor Daniel India. Its an american company, so i have alternate friday's Off ! :D that's the best part, finally settled in Gurgaon. (The place is shit!!). Company is good lots of scope for learning.

Their was a time i used to wish to get into a PSU and this year i cleared all PSU exams i sat for and suddenly it lost its charm. ;)

And just read the paper, today is the 9/11. it says 3000 people died in Attacks and after that 1,37,000 civilians have been killed in Afghanistan, Pakistan & Iraq and nearly 360 Lakh Crores INR have been spent in the war against terror.
