The project closes down

Well, I worked till the team was with Satyam and had quite a hectic schedule on their last day with Satyam on the 11th February...what with handing over of documents to me...one of the few remaining from the team...
We had a farewell lunch sponsored by the team who got good deals through this re batching happening with Wipro.
Did go to office on the following week too as we were supposed to hand over the office and the documents and officially close down the ODC.
Had a hectic week at home too..what with visiting my parents for two days the last week..came home, tidied things and had parents, bro & family at home for lunch on yesterday.
Today is Monday and FINALLY am free from work..both personal and official...
Slept well last night after many many days but woke up to hear that son isn't ok...he seemed down. I am Worried sick...
I AM looking forward to relaxing in the mind... don't know when it will happen?!

The team ends its tenure

What Satyam has done is leave me with lots of leisure...
The latest development is that most of the team has got offer letters from xxxxx. Not only that, they say that they have got hikes from 15 to 30 % !
I had initially turned down that offer but now I see myself getting jealous of people who got such offers. Even under normal circumstances Satyam would not have given those kind of offers...
And now I don't even know whether there will be appraisals or even if Satyam is going to be around next month or whether I will still have a job once it is going to be taken over. Every day we get to hear new names being floated around...Spice, L& T, Fidelity, iGate...ever heard of Fidelity? God knows what the company is going to be converted into and who will stay and who not...
The thoughts are mostly turning depressing tho I do try and put up a brave front.
Probably I will be going to office for this week only as the team will be reporting from the next week to Wipro.
My only option now is to wait till the next project comes or an offer from a new company. Hope the later happens as soon as possible.
