End-Week-Dull
End of another dull week.Though its a festive season, the mood isn't very bright this year.
Last year was different. Celebrating 'Puja' in Kolkata was so much fun. I expected to be there this year too. But things never seem to go my way.
Called up my friends in Mumbai this week. Talking to them cheered my mood a bit. I miss them.
I should get a new job soon. But I am not putting in much effort this time. Its futile trying to get a decent job in IT industry without an engineering degree. All those Brainbench certifications and previous experiences are useless. I guess, I have to work as an accountant for the rest of life.
But for now, I feel like I should be somewhere else. A place where no one knows me. Maybe an unknown island. Any other place away from this computer.
I think I am a bit depressed.
I need a break.
In the End
Thank you Lewis Edward Moten for linking to me. Best of luck for NaNoWriMo contest. I hope to read the first chapter of your novel soon.

Thanks for the luck and the link.
I know how you feel about the degree. I don't have any degree in the states and I have a very hard time when job hunting. I have a stack of tekmetrics and brainbench certificates as well as some microsoft certified professional certificates. They didn't help much except for giving my self esteem an ego boost. I joke about them today and call them my "poor mans degree". I am usually overqualified for jobs that I can get - but am happy all the same if I can get the job.
Good luck in the job hunting. I'm sure you will find an opening if you look hard enough.
Thanks Lewis. I have an university degree but its in accountancy. But I wish I had opted for engineering when I had a choice. Things would have been easier and very much different.
I have people contacting me through my resume website. When I get back to them, I am only told "Everything's okay, Mr. M. But for this particular position we require someone with an engineering degree. Send me your resume again and I will see to it." Such things really sucks. I mean why contact me in the first place if you don't need me.
Getting a job isn't hard. But tough part is getting the job you love.
