Today morning I get some unusual free time that I thought would make use for meditating. I dragged a Chair to the portico and made myself comfortable. The birds were chirping. I felt totally different. Well, wow! I almost forgot... It's not just the computers and me. Yes, there are other beings too. It's just that trying to communicate better with the computers for 8 hours almost made me forget about the other living beings. I saw a tiny black frog and pushed a dry leaf towards it. It tried it's best to blend itself in the dirt and leaves.
Yesterday, I happened to be reading an article about computer myths stating that any profession could get boring after a while. It also stated that any profession involves computer. Yes , an accountant might use a computer to fill the forms, a doctor might use it to access patient's records, but a software engineer lives with it.
It's been a long time since I could sit on the portico and listened to the sounds. And I feel strange and it reminded me that there are other things in my life that could make me feel better even if this damn box gives up on me one day completely after all these 40 hours a week - 20 days a month- for endless years of attempting to make it understand what I want it to do or rather much of it trying to stop it from doing what it should not do :p
I stick my eyes to the computer
40 hours a week
I don't get a hug, there's always a bug
Though I curse It never reacts
I feel that I am almost there
But then,
I don't get a hug , there's always a bug
I fix the issue and there is the wonderful piece
Wonderful until something cracks up due to the fix
I don't get a hug, there's always a bug.....
Let me get out from infront of this computer before I freak out...:p
