Accepting the fact that my teammate is leaving the team

After hearing from my teammate that she is leaving the team to join new team and she is moving immediately in next few days, I couldn’t digest that fact. I was completely shell shocked; I couldn’t accept the fact that she is moving to new team and that too within next few days. It took some time for me to get back to normal and I was really worried of the fact that I would be all alone in my team now. I was really pushed to find new job or move to new team, however I wanted to be in the team at least for few more months, as my promotion is due anytime and if switch to new team it would like pressing reset button to my career. I calmed myself for few hours and was refreshing my memories to happy moments, so that I don’t get down or feel too bad in my team. At the end of the day, everyone wants to reach new heights in their career and life has to move on. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

Little bit of work for the new opportunity

The Onsite delivery team had requested us to come with the standard solution components to be reviewed and the offshore delivery person request some standard solution deck for his reference. Since I was collating the required documents for my entire team, getting the standard solution sets was quite easy for me and was able to complete it in few mins in the day. Rest of the time I was again relaxing myself and was browsing through random videos in internet. So, few days go on with the same routine and I was comfortably enjoying every bit of it. However, came the major twist to the tale, the client has responded to the questionnaire and in meantime there was one more request from that irritating team with tight deadline to complete another phase in the opportunity. Without sensing the trap, I said yes to the delivery person as it was supposed to be closed in the next few days and later on, I realized how bad move it is. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

Information about Mike Resnick

He also wrote a fantasy noire series, the John Justin Mallory stories and alternate history books with Teddy Roosevelt.  Although in recent years he is become better known as the editor of anthologies, he is an author in his own right who has produced about 20 far-future novels, including the oracle trilogy, the Widow Maker series and the Velvet Comet series. He also wrote a fantasy noire series, the John Justin Mallory stories and alternate history books with Teddy Roosevelt. By setting most of his books in the far future (unspecified but possibly 6000-8000 years), spread across the galaxy, Resnick is able to credibly draw in aliens (who do not feature heavily in his books, it must be said), mutants of all shapes and sizes and of course augmented humans, tricked out with the latest in implant technology as well as many gadgets, the science of which is explained believably without too much emphasis on the 'hard science' aspect of sci-fi. His far-future world is divided clearly into two distinct arenas. On the one side is the Oligarchy, a sprawling collection of humanity that spans countless planets across the galaxy - basically the standard far-future world of so many writers. On the other is the inner frontier, a far-future version of the old west with outlaws, gamblers, bounty hunters and lawmen. With the occasional mention of politics, the various currencies used throughout the galaxy, the many references to historic characters from the previous thousands of years, Resnick manages to make the future a totally consistent world similar to our own in so many ways. These books are packed with action and will probably appeal most to male readers. They are mostly "boys own" type adventures although he also wrote a prize-winning romance, The Dark Lady. If Resnick has the one failure it's that his heroes, despite their well defined flaws, are simply too perfect but since this is what we expect of heroes, this is a minor criticism at best.

Closing off nagging account team opportunity

The early morning call got over and I was too much frustrated, as I was not at all required for the call and the expectation was detailed beforehand. I was getting ready to reach office and the nagging account personal was not even able to hold for few minutes and was calling me to check whether I have reached office or not. I was again frustrated, as I got all required information last day itself and would start working on it once I have reached office, but still these nagging account personnel were behind me for each and every update. Now, I reached office and called the delivery expert to check on the status and it hardly took few mins for me to get the expectations and was already working on it. I have finished my work earlier than my expected deadline and I don’t want to share it with the team, because they would come up with unnecessary changes and I shared the final deck only few minutes before the call. As expected the account team came up with some silly changes and these changes could have been done by themselves. Finally, I finished the deck and shared it the with whole accounts team for review and closed it off. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”
