From the past experiences that i had in an organization, I thought offices are supposed to be very lineant with the work environment allow employeesto also have fun while they work. There is one thing that made me realize my career line, that's I am really crazy about mobiles better put as gadgets. And also to do the Graphics designing kinda stuff. This is something I realised after I started watching anime, playing games that would include pc games to console games which exposed the creativity involved in them to me. At work, in my previous organization, had an hour of lunch break where we finished the lunch as quick as possible to get on LAN to play NFS-5. It was so much fun that I remember how everyone of us shouted being so much involved in the game. Also did an overtime at times to finish the game ;). Thats where I learnt to play Starcraft and Baldur's Gate(similar to Never winter Nights) , Its not that we played rather than work but these formed a part of our work to know the gameplay before we start a project.
I had an offer in hand when we were gonna start a new project, although reluctant whether i would get the same environment. But after I joined found people here where even more crazy about gaming, designing etc and lots of creativity, innovation. In this office I came to know of console gaming with PS2, PS3 , Nintendo, XBOX etc etc. A true gamer would lend their hearts out to get one of those playstations. One day i was playing NFS Most wanted on the XBOX, the first time in my life,the graphics, sound effects , vibrating effects on the joystick were just awesome to die for. One wouldnt know if its dawn or dusk, till we get to the end. I have learnt so many things from the new organization, a nice learning process. That keeps us motivated to work good. I wouldnt believe me saying to myself that I did play God of War2 on PS2 - such a mind blowing experience for a naive like me, even if you are just gazing at some one play,you would find it to be like a violent animation movie. Also played Burnout a lot many times on my colleagues PS2.
The gusto should be felt yaar, thats something I can't explain. Now this doesnt mean we play all while than work. We work like smart zombies :P (I think zombies is just too much) But yea we do work hard :) That actually results on our appraisals, you gotta see that.
So people you gotta find out means to have loads of FuN while YoU WorK! Smart work and loads of play would lead to a hike in pay , howzzat??
