Thou are so meddled!

Thank you for stopping by, dear reader. Writing has never been my cup of tea - I am not a professional or even an intermediate level writer. I am a simple guy with some basic knowledge of English grammar rules, limited vocabulary and free internet. And I have no idea why did I started writing this and why the name "MEDDLED"? We will go to the meddled part later on. But first a few thoughts on why I started writing on this not-so-best platform (Sorry, Google!) all of a sudden.

Nothing fancy (disappointed, eh?) here. Had some free time at work. That's the biggest pain most of the developers face when working at a multi-billion dollar tech company. There is a chain of command - for every.single.thing. Order a pencil or present a revolutionary idea - every damn thing needs approvals form the people who sometimes are more dumb, ugly and fat than yourself.

So I am working on a Ubuntu machine that works on a VM and my company's cloud infra ops team has no idea why is it breaking down so often. So I have raised a maintenance ticket to get it resolved and will have to wait till next couple of days because to get it fixed. I wasted almost the last whole week doing nothing. I was done with the proof of concept of the project that I am working on during the last week but have been wasting my time since then. So I asked my darling girlfriend to change my Facebook password because I was spending a lot of productive time on it - not looking on to people's profiles or something but reading all kinds of posts that appear on my timeline. I like reading new things and the list covers everything from schoopwhoop to the huff post to the logical Indian to the sports keeda to 9GAG. Probably that is where I got this authoring thing from, may be? So feeling a little sleepy now. Will talk about the meddle thing later! Love to the universe.
