We’re shifting back to Cyber Towers. The offices are great this time, and we’re just five people in the whole quadrant – Peri, Raja, Gopi, Rajiv and me. In fact, we’re so small a number that we have to walk all the way to a different quadrant of the building to reach the pantry. Although we do have a water dispenser for drinking water, coffee is a hundred meters away.
As if that wasn’t enough, my room is right in front of Peri’s (that’s the bigshot manager), and Raja’s (he’s my mentor) rooms. And they both prefer to keep their cabin doors open and curtains drawn away. This means that no more “who can fool the boss best” contests.
In the meantime, we’ve got brand new machines out there (not that I’m complaining – run’s Aero, got a Core 2 Duo, 250 GB HDD, etc.). So gotta set them up. With the whole complex configurations it took us months to setup out here, it’s going to be a hell of a mess replicating that out there. Besides, all those network-drives, automounts, IE preferences, messenger preferences, startup programs, drivers, devices, etc. each of it is going to take ages.
After that, got those gigantic monsters – each of which takes a whole day to install and get working. IIS webserver, SQL server, Visual Studio Team System, etc.
I’d appreciate some quiet time if possible during this transition. Keep the phone calls low and keep the mails away.
