For the past few days while travelling I think i have to update my blog.. and it is generally very rare that i think of something to write way before i write it.... but this time there was this particular thing i wanted to write... but have been so busy of late... so busy haven't gotten even a minute away from work to write.... still now (past 12 midnite) i am in office.... taking a break .. so i thought will write... it is a stress reliever....
well here's what i was thinking about... i was thinking about rating my work days... like some days when i go back home i feel irritated i feel restless on other days i feel pretty happy satisfied... some days it is no feeling... so on and so forth... so i was thinking may be on a daily basis log what i feel (in an Excel??? ;-) ) like everyday after office when i reach home... just put the date and may be 'ok, bad, good, pathetic, very bad, very good, amazing' something to that extent... not rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 or sth... because frankly when people ask me to rate someone on a scale of 1 to 10 i just rate them as good bad ok,.. then scale it to 1 to 10 then add a decimal value to mock... like how would u rate that developer on a scale of 1 to 10... i think he is pretty good... although there is room for improvement... that'8 so i say anywhere between 8.25 and 8.5 ;-) and as i dont want to mock myself i will not rate it numerically and anyway numbers take the feeling away from feelings... although even words do... but here i am in the mood of some serious analysis.....
so at the end of a month may be i plot everything... day basis; date basis; and may be average out... find the mean and all.... and if the values are usually bad... or ok.. may be think of changing something at work... notice the effect... and so on....
why all this exercise... may be to keep myself busy... but i am already very busy.... why did i think of it then... oh yes i remember had a particularly bad day... actually a stretch of particularly bad days and was thinking what went wrong do i need to quit... and i came up with this "brilliant" mechanism and even while writing i realised it is like one of those things which i really mean to do but never end up doing....
but somehow the whole concept intrigues me... kind of taking myself tooo seriously... kind of a way to look at me as if i am not really me.... as if i am an "object of analysis/study" nice... look at myself while being detached with myself....
nice i say... what say you????

To help you with the rating.....try rating from 1 to 100. You get more options and no hassle of using decimals......i think its the same reason why we have percentages rated from 1-100% or maybe something to ponder.
Hey!
Thanks for your comment!
but you missed the point... how do u then differentiate between a 71 and a 72!!
hmm... i think you should apply for CMMi5 Certificate (do they really give a certificate, i wonder). waise pahle se your ISOnumberdontknow standards have already gone down, jab you changed the background color of your blog. Still good luck for your CMMi5 preparation...
but then again,... i changed the background color because i wanted to confirm to ISO numberdontknow standards!!
Raaz ki baat... my project is at CMMi level 2 (or was it 1) ;-)
"object of analysis/study" .. Remembered the dialogue - "Timko maloom hai na tum ek hi piece ho..? Muzeum me rakhna chahiye tumhe aur ticket lagna chahiye dekhne ke liye"!! :D (-"Jab we met")
btw.. hows the rating going?? ;)
Day by Day darr kam ho raha hai!!!
