FCQ results...

Its been a while since i posted.... was really busy all these days...
FCQ results were out 2 days back and found out that i can read all my marks pout like a frigging phone number.... 9...8...9...7... what the hell???... i thot stats went welll n i get 9 and totally screwed up in govt influences only to get 14... anyway... not impressed at all with my perfprmance... hope i do well in the sem exams.... only a miracle will help...

companies are trickling in for HR nowadays and i reached the interview of the previous company... was given 3 situations and asked to decide on the next course of action... did ok and felt that it went pretty well... the last situation was about being the HR head of an organization and having to deal with a brilliant sales mgr who brings in nearly 50 % of the sales but is extremely unethical.... it looked like an open and shut case to me until the HR dude told me that the CEO of that organization knew about these unethical practices and backed it to the hilt... now i was in a quandary and the fuses in my brain were threatening to blow as a result of overheating... gave a poetic bhashan saying that ethics are primary to me and when it comes down to money or people's lives, everything else becomes peripheral... i dont see any shades of gray, everythin is black or white... i will fire the guy... now.. the HR dude tells me that the CEO gets pissed off with me and tells me that either he gets the boot or i do... i valiantly told them that i would quit the damn job if it came down to that.. i dint make it... they called 4 of the people inside later and told us that v all were equally capable ( some were less equal i guess...) and gave some gyaan about perseverance... told us that there was only one position available and offered it to another girl.. actually felt quite happy that i reached the interview coz i was quite low on confidence after a string of companies rejected my CV... this was like a shot in the arm..

An interesting incident took place in class 2 days back... Supply chain class was going on and my classmate sriram asks me wat "FUBAR" is... then goes on to tell me that it means 'F***** Up Beyond All Recognition' according to the movie 'Saving private Ryan'..... then he decides to suggest it to sir as a part of the brainstorming exercise that was being conducted at that time... he gets up n yells "FUBAAAARRRR...".... i immediately went under the bench and laughed and laughed and laughed... this guy somehow kept a straight face and repeated FUBAR..... then, sir asks him... what it means??... he says... For Upgradation Beyond Analytical Requirements".... sir seems really impressed and keeps mumbling fubar atleast 4 times to himself while going to write it on the board.... then he turns around and does the worst thing possible... he tells sriram... "This is an IT term is'nt it??"... sriram replies in the affirmative and sir nods to himself contentedly and all this while he keeps repeating that word to himself... i pity our juniors who will get this acronym as a one-mark question in their FCQs thanx to the astounding quality of our professors...

Barely managed to submit my Research methodology project in time... made quite a few mistakes but its done... OVER... Had to sit and explain half my questions to all the respondents partly because they were so esoteric and partly because most of my respondents were just plain stupid... hope to a better job in the 2nd sem project... thats it from me for now....

The FUBAR thing was cool. I remember the way you said to the IISc D gate guard when we were going to Tata book house - "thank you, mauthaer fookaer"..
