have you ever been in some place and still not felt like a part of that place... that's what i am feeling right now.... i came back to my city after years of wandering here and there ... i feel like a part of this city... but somehow i cant feel like a part of my office here... when people talk we have to do this we have to do that (wrt the office and not my project) i feel as if they are talking about some other place not MY office... as if i am just an onlooker not a contributor just looking at things not being a part... i had felt that way about cities earlier but never about my workplace.... i feel that way now... may be i just need time.... time to settle in absorb the atmosphere or something... but this place is so unlike the places i am used to work at... the atmosphere is entirely different .... i cant say good or bad.... it's just different... it's just not what i am used to may be... but when they talk about doing this implementing that i dont get that drive from within... and top it with an extremely involved feeling i get where my work (and that of my team's) is concerned... it becomes a funny mix... it becomes like being almost at the core of something and not being a part of the thing this something belongs to.... getting what i am saying....
but anyways.... work is work its not life....... and as long as it doesnt make me sad i am fine!!!
P.S: When i woke up today i badly wanted to listen to this song... i put on TV hoping against hope they will be showing it... they weren't!!! then while coming to office they were playing it on the Radio!! i was soo happy :-)

Mademoiselle, if you are unable to get it, then how would we get it.....
the good thing is you know work is work and not life....coz mixing them is as fatal as mixing car keys with alcohol.....hmmm was this relevant to anything..... ;)
Is it because they have been here for longer ? Or is it because your definition of office is much more advanced ...

i have had similar feelings.. stranger all the time (don't fit in kinda feeling)... generally this syndrome is associated with people who don't stay at a place long enough then move on :)
change of : houses/schools/offices/companies/countries/cities and the works
I like to work.. but i always have this distance from things (people) that often makes me look at things/people other than family in a disassociated manner.
I think u feel similarly right now!
give it sometime..u'll get over this feeling soon (*s.t no change of place/office in the near future)
cheers,
deepika
