I Love Deadlines!!!!!!! Ah I really love them...But do I...??

"What the heck are you doing? what do you mean by you cant do it? DO IT else..." this is what a typical dialouge of my boss. Before joining my first job place, i have thought of IT as a beautiful place to rejoice. You work on real projects, with real time data and above all a hefty amount in hand( the last one is a real joke). Forget about work culture, I have to face real trouble.
Deadlines, ya i have heard them before. deadline for submitting assignments,deadlines for paying your dues etc etc. But the deadline here is you will be dead before reaching that line. The deadlines are virtual and believe it or not you have to jump start things even if you have no knowledge about them.
Sometimes the situation is like your boss saying- Hey, yesterday my son engulfed a 50 paisa coin( i don't know if he is giving him food to eat or not). Can you please have a DIP into the sceptic tank and found it out. Can you just imagine yourself inside a tank full of human waste and you are puddling inside it,just to find a 50 paisa coin. To add to your pitiful condition, a timer is ticking. So in total in 30 secs, you have to find a 50 paisa coin from a tank full of human waste. If you have imagined it correctly, you could have already started vomiting,
Ya the situation gets similar when you are given a random project in which you are not even a part, neither during development nor during deployment and you are asked to find a bug which is not allowing it to run. Find the bug and remember that a timer is ticking and you are closing deadline." tick..tick.. times up you loser".
So if you are gonna in a similar condition,then perhaps you are in wrong business house. Doing postmortem on dead projects or projects which are left out by clients due to a mischievous developer writing stupid codes before leaving the company and also deleting some really related file. When these kind of projects land in your hands and you start banging your head and pulling you left out hairs, you will definitely accept my opinion.
