Life on the fast lane

....This is my first post in 2 mnths. Life has been on a fast lane in these 2 months. First of all, I am through with my b-school appin n t-bird admit is in my hands. Always wanted to b there. But now once I have got the admit, it feels as if the slog hasnt stopped. It has just taken a break which will start again once the b-school journey starts.

Professionally,This period has been the most turbulent yet interesting one. First of all , I have realised by now that I need to take a plunge into wat I really wanna do ( joining a start up) & not wat people expect me to do(sit in a stable job) . Some how all this while I thought I could do more than wat I am doin rite now, but hierarchy n pseudo-bureaucracy always kept me in check. So much so that the more I tried to better myself, the elites wud see it as an act of rebellion. I am almost on the brink of quitting. Today ( Sat 03/05/08) I have had my toughest day in my professional life. Work started at 9am and its 11.30 pm now by the time wind up. All this cos of silly ego hassels of a particular person. Many ppl bore the brunt of his ego n now it was my turn. Just a week ago , his most trusted lieutenant resigned and now the canons were being directed towards me. I feelllll sooooooooooooooooooooo miserable right now.  Had US economy been more stable and had US visa procedures been fairly simple ( read that as a guaranteed visa on application) I would have put my papers 2 months back. 
Sadly this is just wishful thinking....... Dunno wats gonna happen next n just have to get out of this mess @ workplace soon .
