PEP

Let me keep the expansion of PEP to the more creative minds. Or maybe, I can feed your imagination a little:

Python enchancement project... Ahem
Politically exposed Person.. tut tut
People Exposing Power... this is the crudest of all.

Well, it is the name of the project which I work in. It is enchancement project. For a kind of person that I am, this suits me to the hilt. Kind of person that i am... "I like to break away from the shackles of monotony, repetitiveness induces the feelings of mild angst, I get bored of events at a rate of my pulse"..

But in PEP, nothing is stable or constant. Planning is a loss of electricity, as we make use of computers running microsoft excel(thank you Bill clinton - Ooops Gates) to record what ever we have discussed in the electrically heated meeting rooms. We jam the company mail server by sending mails to the offshore communicating them of the plans, discuss endlessly of the possible back-up plans that one may need ICE (not Inter city express that gallops to Germany, but In Case of Emergency) , ... We squabble over the cable phone lines to the offshore.. cos we have only a single line to connect us to the land that harbored the indus valley civilization, decide on who will be at the forefront of the firing line on the D day, discuss with all the xternal interface teams what needs to be done, blame the 'other' team for the goof ups made, diligently follow the CYA principle(Cover You @$$) ..... but nothing materialises at the end of the tunnel. Given a brief description of what we do with each other and of the planning that we have made.... At the end of the day, nothing works as we thought as it may! There cannot be a sane explanation to the unreasonable events that we encounter.

Think of a possible event: Someone with a foresight, decides that this patch will be implemented to the production system on a particular date. Now we do not refer to any almanac to fix this date. There is ALWAYS a rational explanation to why the patch could not be implemented. The show stopper is always a legitimate cover story. Hmmm...

The functioning of the PEP can be ascribed to the Garbage Can Model. Courtesy - wikipedia. As a tangential thought, I wonder when google will make a bid to buy wikipedia.

And this uncertain madness suits me like a well made cat suit. I wake up in the morning and sprint to the workplace, with the list of actions that I may(not Will) complete... each day i follow the same pattern... and I never get bored. Amen
