Whoops… Broken hardware and the misery of life
Grrr… My wireless keyboard is killing me. Got three sets of batteries. All new but none of them appears to working. I seriously I hope it’s the batteries and not the keyboard itself, coz using that warranty card is worse than spending money on a new decent keyboard. I have loved Logitech Mice through out my computing years but I am having second thoughts about Logitech Keyboard. Got two of them. One costing 250 and another costing 2500. Both suck. Though Logitech MX700 mouse rocks. And if I have the money the next time I need a new mouse, my money will be on MX900 (MX510 for a corded one). Of course this applies in the current generations of Mice available in the Indian Market. Although the new Microsoft Mice are tempting too! Still searching for that perfect keyboard. None of them have worked fine for me. Current one when works, works fine. But it is not working at this very moment…
Now the more troublesome part. Life is getting more and more complicated. I don’t have a job. That is the smaller issue (though lack of a financial stability is a pain too…). The bigger problem is the offers I have! As I talked about in my last post, I have 2-3 offers in hand. One new one is from Bangalore in an UK based Search Engine Optimization Company paying around 15K. Money is not important but the kind of work is kind of yucky. Search Engine Optimizers are not the most ethical people online! I know because I have met people who spam Blogs and claim it to be legal just because it does not fall under CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. The other is from this cool sounding Hyderabad based company. The problem there is that it is the sort of company I would have loved to be my first employer. Before the years of miserable work culture I have gone through, which has I believe totally corrupted my mind and work ethics. To be a part of that company would require a totally new fresh mind set along with lot of effort to reclaim the learning spirit I once had and the challenge to move out of home and live alone in an unknown city for money that certainly won’t save me enough to buy an iPod in the next 3-4 months. I am giving it a go. I hate to be rejected… but this company sounds like something, it’s worth taking the risk of losing some pride… Should have an idea by this day next week, if I am worth what some people feel I am… Let us hope for the best and let’s hope I don’t destroy the trust some nice people have shown in me.
