When i finalized this blog it was 3AM in the early morning(or 2 past midnight), Nothing surprising in my late nights as I’ve had much last few weeks.

Even in my extreme of my dreams I never thought Ill reach this point in my life, which off late which has become a laughing for me.  Flexible office timings (many days I opened my eyes in front of my cubicle). Late nights and early morning logins can worsens one’s life and along with routinely tempo tantrums can ruin further.  I was a guy who used to laugh at people when someone said Techies lose their personal life with increase in work intensity.  As a result, more usage of F words at workplaces, avoiding meeting people and I was trying to corner myself with all this shit. Suddenly realized I’m disturbing someone by raining texts and pinging on FB from last few days, which was going on even without my attention (I have promised myself I won’t do it from today).  I would like to ask her sorry for everything I did.

I stopped enjoying my work and life. There were certainly times when I enjoyed myself, but most of those times were when my computer talents were still developing. Once I stopped learning new things on the job, I would become fidgety and want to move on to something else. It started to reflect on my personal life.

Being techie is like double headed sword, you enjoy it as long as you are new to it after certain extent things get worst.  For e.g., Situations like this one were common for me or many techies of my generation. I’ve had eavesdropping strangers approach me with questions about their computer while I was eating in a restaurant. I’ve had oblivious coworkers step in front of me in a buffet line to tell me about their computer problems while I was serving myself food. I’ve had neighbors who spotted me from their window rush outside to coax me into working on their home computer while I was walking to the corner market. My knack for solving people’s computer problems had become so well-known among my neighborhood that these circumstances were near impossible to avoid.

Life was getting alienated; the fact that the computer guy never gets a moment’s peace can also practically force him to withdraw into solitude.  Struggling to sort out an unlikely offer that I got, a chance to move out of the shore. But I chose not to.

“That’s why the IT guy eats lunch alone with his door closed, or goes out to eat every day — not because he’s unfriendly, but because he needs to escape the incessant interruptions”- Myself.

Having read these reasons, you may believe that I’m complaining. It’s true that I was upset with many aspects of my life as the computer guy, but I’m past the point of complaining.

I took a good hard look at my existence and realized that things were not likely to change in the line of work I had chosen. Instead of just complaining, I took action and began making positive changes in my life.

Working in the computer industry isn’t for everybody. It wasn’t for me. I’ve compiled my reasons for putting it behind me and placed them here, so that anyone who is unsatisfied with their life working in computers might recognize it’s not for them either.

And yeah my friends nothing is bad at my end, a bottle of Bacardi will do (which I was planning to leave once for all). A small rehabilitation may do wonders.

All is Well
