Thoughts on Work - Jargons !????? !

Yeah the title says it all. Its all about jargons now.

Being a techie has a big negative impact on my communications outside office. Some might say that there are no "issues" there since its all a part of English and the ultimate meaning is the same. But i believe that my use of techie jargons just reduces my communicative effectiveness in the normal world. (i dont imply that as a techie i live in an abnormal world).

The problem seems to be that the use of these jargons in office has not been of any help to me either. Its probably due the fact that i am still fresh out of college and my "ramp" up is still in progress. In any case i am sure that i will have to evolve a stratergy that will increase the effectiveness of my communication without the excessive use of jargons.

There is one piece of advice that i have found to be very useful - "love the job that you do more than the company that you work for". As much as you may love your company, if you are not performing at your job the company is most likely to kick you out. I seem to love my job as of now. I am in awe of my company no doubt, I will have to somehow create a healthy mix of love for my job and respect for my company.

I need to organize myself better at work. i need to cut down on the clutter. Ways in which i am implementing this will probably be the content of my future blogs
