YAY !!
Got promoted to Senior Engineer. Nice happy occasion. It was quite some time since I had been promoted - maybe 3 years I guess. Spoke to some of my family members, but I had to sugarcoat my new role - you know, Senior Engineer in India, is a post, you get after 2 years into the job. Not after 8 years. Funny how much difference the cultures make.
Anyway, this is good news for a many reasons. First, I don't need to worry about the next promotion for atleast another couple of years. So , it means, I can just focus on my job, and not worry about impressing anyone. Second, I don't need to work my ass off pulling 16 hour work days. Working for 10 hours as I do generally and pulling in a late night whenever the work demands should suffice. Its really refreshing to get out of the rat race and finally be able to do what I want. Which is write good programs, learn some interesting stuff on directx, learn some basic photography with my DSLR, and get to explore this country I'm living in currently - Korea. Not to mention , spend more time with my wife and daughter along the way :)
Oh by the way, I plan to shift this blog wordpress from blogspot in sometime. Still figuring things out on how to use Wordpress. The main reason of the shift is the wordpress support on android and well, I see that its much more robust than blogger. Only downer is that it doesn't allow me to post google ads. Not that, I've too many readers here who would make me rich. Are there ? lol ! Also, another idea is to keep this blog as it is, and have another blog in wordpress to talk mostly about my technical ramblings. Let me see how it all works out.
Anyway, signing off for now....good night !
