Bank, a word derived from Italian, meaning 'Bench'. How apt is the word in the software world.. Where loan amount is the duration and frustration levels being the interest paid. So, greater the loan amount, greater the interest u pay. An ideal software programmer, with work at bench, would deal with a great number of softwares than he is at work. He uses a lot of channels as vents. Orkut, gmail, yahoo, google, yahoo messenger, msn messenger, scrap boy, skype, google earth (Finding if his house is updated in Google's GIS), blogs, trading site (usually ICICIdirect) are a few to mention... whew all high-end softwares .. Managing these many windows by itself is an ordeal... This is the period when software professionals get time to retain their contacts.. Their outbox suffers a 5 MB stress everyday.. One of my frends, during times like this, sent out app. 75 mails and would receive 150 mails everyday..The figures suggest how many others are on the same line... Srry same 'bank'..
Coffee is a killer bee at these times..there is no count on cigarettes and coffee.. and this is time when the organisation that you loved so much seems like it turned against you..
Sometimes this software professional tends to stare at the monitor screen thinking about whats in store for him.. then regains position and starts applying to a few job consultancies..Jus hoping he would pay lower interests in the new place..

A few of them would also start writing Blogs !!
