Santiy Testing 1….2…3..

Does that make sense? If it does, then please click the little cross mark at the right hand top corner of this window and you can be on your way to wherever you were while you stumbled across this. If it made no sense, then you can go on reading further.
“Started Sanity Testing…..”…those words still echo in my mind, not because I have had a bad experience with it but because I get a mail with that subject every 1/6th of a nanosecond from my team members. It apparently is something to do with our project. What kind of project would be testing sanity? Well, I suppose the lack of something is what makes you want it more. No question of sour grapes now eh? Definitely one should start to expect such things in the IT industry. IT industry and sanity, what better oxy moron do you need. Hey, if you are a proud member of this famous industry, then you know where to click. If you are not, please feel free to read further. Its not that I ….
( OH HELL YEAH !! HERE WE GO AGAIN. Just as I was talking about it, here is another mail I get. “Sanity restarted…”. Don’t trust me. Check out the screenshot)

….have anything against THEM, its just that I am so very jobless and am a big fan of Seinfeld. I like to ponder on the little nothings of life which everyone else conveniently chooses to ignore. As i was saying why do you need to restart SANITY? Why does it have to stop? Its not like you have a little hole in the six inches between your ears and it just pops out and you go like “Oops!!!!. Dropped my sanity folks. I gotta restart it now.”
And maybe test it a few times over. Why do men, men who have joined THE COMPANY (which according to CNN is harder to get in than HARVARD. Who are they kidding??) not keep their sanities safe in some secure place like their pockets or wallets where all their other materialistic precious belongings go. Is it that normal to not be careful about your sanity in this industry? Am I making any sense or is it that I have just dropped mine? I guess we all have our sanities kept somewhere, safe or not. And once in a while it is needed to restart it to be normal again. Some of them run servers to restart and test sanity, some of us write blogs which make no sense and some of you read such blogs.
As I finish abusing this useless piece of virtual space we all get for free, I hear the murmurs somewhere in the next world ( yes, though its in the next cubicle, the conversations there gives me the feeling that we are worlds apart)
..sanity testing shuru ho gayaa…tera baari hai…
(translated to all as : “…sanity testing has started…now its your turn”)….
