This document helps correlate similar kind of feelings a person has when working in It industry.

1. A Close Look into an IT Person Life:
This has been a journey so far not so good not so bad. There are days when I am excited about my
job and there are also some days when I have to pull myself out of bed to go to work. Yes, this is the
story of a Software Tester – may not be so happening but no so boring.
I have been in IT industry for almost 9 years now and everyday does not feel like the same. There are
new challenges and new tasks always waiting for me. When I say task does not mean only work; it
also means task of handing few arrogant leads and managers as well as peers. Yes this is the most
difficult task till date for me. You all are right – one cannot make everyone happy.
People around you and not around you also affect your day to day activity in work. I have been
battling such people from the very beginning of my career. Some try to influence in a good way and
some in a negative way. Some want to show their true leadership qualities (which are much
appreciated) and some want to dictate. Everybody has his/her own way of leading people but again
it should not hamper one’s performance at workplace or in personal life.
Some of you must be thinking what it has to do with personal life but believe me or not it does. We
all carry a part of our office life (in form of stress or some grudge) when we take that step inside our
house.
You all must be thinking why I am writing this today and why not before. Believe me I wanted to
write down many times before this and still have so much to write down that this can go on and on. I
am not going to hold on to my frustration anymore and this is how I am going to let my emotions
flow out. Life is a struggle – for a good pay, a good position, a good life and the list goes on but we all
are putting up a good fight. I might not like my job now but I liked it sometime before. I might
change my workplace and I would again start loving my new job and new office but will it change
anything? I might start disliking it after sometime or because of some manager trying to take control
of everything and everyone.
How do I stay happy in my job and hence my life? It is affecting every front of my life and I cannot do
anything about it. Am I so helpless? Is the only way to let everything out is writing the emotions and
frustrations down? I will keep looking to make my life easy and happy but will not put down my fight
and will not let anyone take anything away from me which they do not own.
