Amusing Musings

I finally found some time out of my craziest schedule ever working as a Project Manager slash Business Analyst to muse over my present, future and past. I landed in this job so reluctantly. I wished not to be selected during the different rounds of interviews that I went through. The role/ responsibilities/level of effort/ time involved/stress ... huff this is not at all me, especially after I just got back from an exciting trip to home.
