The facility was different. It was half constructed, and still the workers were moving around, trying to complete the construction of rest of the facility. Something always looked different here. I was a newcomer to this place. It was only a week since I started working from here.
The environment was totally different from my previous office. Doors with access check everywhere, two or three doors for canteen, rest rooms etc, people with robes as if it’s a nuclear plant made it look very different. As I walked into my small cubicle, I perfectly looked like an engineer, who is designing a small part of the satellite that was going to be launched in 6 months.
Satellite design involves a lot of technical complexities. That is the reason “Rocket Science” always involves people belonging to a different plane. It requires a lot of precision and even a simple calculation may lead to its complete failure.
I had a bad habit of sleeping. So anyone who passed by my cubicle could see a poster with my writing in big “Do not Sleep”. The people who did not knew me, also stopped by my cubicle, just to find out why I had put it up there, and my lead when he finds me sleeping, waked me up and shows the poster (I give a wry smile in response).
Rocket science was a field, which interested me a lot (It is for many people in this world). Becoming a rocket engineer was a dream for me. Here in this office, I found my dream come true. The IT job I was doing had paid me more, but never satisfied me.
I was woken by my lead suddenly. I had slept again. I responded with my usual wry smile. He had lost all hopes of keeping me awake and so did not bother. He directly asked “When is the launch?” Without realizing that he was asking about the web site launch, I replied “6 months” telling about the satellite launch of my dream.
If you really did not understand anything in this post, it is not a fault of yours, since I wrote this in office half asleep.
