The Beach

I have been staffed continuously for the past 19 months - working for a Credit Card giant. It would have gone on and on, but thanks to the Economic Recession the division that we were working for actually shut down. God (and I think everyone else as well) knows how glad I am that it came to an end. It doesn't mean that I am out of my job (though you never know in these times), it just means that I shall not be working on a project for some time. It is very popularly referred to as the "BEACH" in our company - which I think is a very nice euphemism for "Out of Work".

I have been cribbing about always working and not having enough "Beach" period to my colleagues since forever; but now that it has finally come true, the thought scares me. I still cannot imagine myself waking up in the morning and not having any project related work to do. As they say - "Be Careful What You Wish For". I really hope this doesn't last long !!

"Beware what you wish for" - at first this looks trivially stupid, but when you have had enough enriching (read crappy) experiences then it starts to make perfect sense
