For some reason there're lots of kids at work today.
Few things i love about client office & perhaps UK is people being able to bring kids to work.
They availing the demo of Sky product was also nice to observe as they got glued into it mesmerized.
Wonder how they'd feel of the workplace which is daunting by its sheer size to even an adult. Few interesting characters:
Kid-1: As i walk into washroom this lad is short even by my waist however surprisingly he managed to do his facility with considerable ease & then even pursuaded me to walk past first little realising that heavy door was in place with my support. Wonder how secure they feel just by virtue of being born here - like they already have a place in society. BTW he introduced himself by his mother's name & threw a googly my way - as to what i did at work? Hmm...caught offguard, i spitted out 'Advanced Maths'.
[Later i notice her mother walk past, expensively dressed sporting ]
Kid-2: Was with his mom who works at The Barn(client restro) - . She went past me pushing a trolley collecting utesils from Homezone, while his kid was scotting around her alongside. Though she's usually in terse mode(which always felt circumstantial & _not_ intrinsic) more often than not, but to her child she wiped off hair falling on his forehead with such affection that it was nostaligic.
Main question is how're kids perception of their parents vocational hierarchy influencing them? Sense of fin security, social standing, respect etc.
By that extension, another reason to keep pushing the corporate ladder?
Moving on, another characters(mind you that's all musing in my head & nothing on ground)
Guy1: I run past him in the main cafeteria(DR) as he moves aside to make way in a sheepish smile. Seems he is impressively overwhelmed by being in central office space(SC). Another reminder of priviledge we take for granted. What coodinates have to fall in place to land up a spot next to CXO bay of Fortune100 company continents away! Not like a blessing per se, just the odds of black-box surprises with any global consulting assignments.
There was one more person i'd wanted to mention but consider work schedules mindlessness has been way too often. At times un-finished innings make it even more worthwhile, who knows :)
