ICEGATE
crisis of ECL roll-out Day-2
The second
day of reporting to the ICEAGTE vertical for extending a helping hand to arms
that are hypertrophied already. Regardless, we contributed to the socializing part
of the officers. There was data entry work assigned by my boss which he needed
today. I sat with my immediate boss and tried to make sense of the emails that I
was assigned to sort and make a database. I did as much as I could. The
remaining work was delegated to the junior.
The
remaining time was spent in the office doing miscellaneous tasks. Can the day
be described as productive? Yes and No. Yes, because we delivered what was
expected. No, because the work was not itself productive in nature. We did add
value to what was assigned to us. But the work itself was of the nature of duplicity.
The data that we have extracted will serve hardly any purpose as the issues pertaining
to 2 weeks ago. Most of the matters would be sorted by now. Leadership may not
even take a look at the list. But whims and fancies rule the roost. You can either
be always prepared or be at risk of reprimand for uncalled expectations.
Small talks
and cribbing are the centerpieces of time spent in big offices. You give undue
amounts of time to issues that actually deserve little. It is a type of Disguised
unemployment. Here multiple officers are taking care of tasks that one can
easily handle given he has resources at his disposal. I hope the situation gets
better and we are able to contribute to the original work. In a way, I miss my
days in the field where there was no dearth of work and you had subordinates
lined up with files.
I am happy
that my junior has joined back at the office post his relieving from his parent
Commissionerate. It was quick and surprising. It would be good to have him
aside as he has good skills suitable for the job.
Family
Spoke to Mom-in-law
at Sirhind. Talked about my office routine and the issue we are resolving at
work. She told that Daddy is doing his bit on the first floor of the shop where
the sanitary stuff is lying. He is trying to sort the stock. I like his approach.
He pays 1 hour daily and deploys Karamjit to place the things. If he continues
it, it will further help to decongest the space and give clarity to the stock
at hand. We do our part whenever we can Although after December we have not
taken the task forward owing to help from a learned plumber, but also that we
have been having less time at hand. I hope to get the task sorted in the coming
days and finalize the list of stock. Then the list would be shared with friends
who can help with vendors who can procure the items in the store. It is going
to be challenging but we are prepared to take it head-on.

Went to Anytime
Fitness. Attended Yoga class. Did 15 mins cardio
and pull ups(7). Then went to the
Yoga class for 1 hour. There is a lot of stiffness in the Hip area which
needs to be addressed. I actually watched a video by Squat University that
presented a case that was the most similar to my case. The subject had pain
while descending on the deadlift. Also, he had limited mobility on the internal
rotation of lower leg in 90 degrees leg tucked lying position.Also while tucking
the leg to chest position, the subject had a pinching pain. He also had a hip
shift while squatting. The case of the
subject is similar to me. While assessing myself for the parameters that I
read in rebuilding Milo- a book by Aaron Horshig the face of Squat
University, I realized that I might have extension intolerance which is the position
of descent part of Deadlift. My injury occurred after
Deadlifting 160 Kg for 2 reps without belt. I wrongly presumed that I had
great core stability and Glute strength. I realized in a painful way way that
it was not the case. I have now been
doing Mcgill Big 3 exercises for quite while. It has benefitted immensely. I am
confident that it will take me back to my lifting routine. I should also
include Glute strengthening as part of the daily routine. I have learned in this
injury that taking things easy is very important. I get casual in the excitement
of lifting heavy. I overestimate my capacity at times. |
