A funny observation!

This is about work, but I couldn't resist blogging about it.

The DST time changes were affected about two hours back. As we were sitting in office, we observed that the time changes didn't work on our product. When the PC time had changed, why not our product's, was our question. Last year also we had faced this terrible problem (in earlier project), and getting that same bad thing hit our face was not something we wanted at this wee hour!

Luckily, a senior manager reminded us that we needed to do a one step procedure for that, which is basic to our product. So even when the end user goes through the time difference, s/he will be able to do so without any problem. Suddenly our faces lit and heart beats came back to normal. But for that manager (Thanks J!), the Halloween could have been much worse!

Later, we had a very hard laugh and one of us almost choked on our initial reaction to the problem! I must say that it was a good end to an extremely long and busy day.

As for BSchools, I was _somehow_ able to submit my Stanford app just a couple hours before the deadline. As expected, had to stay awake till 3 AM every night past week and till 5 AM the night before the deadline. However, I gave it my best shot, the app seemed to be in decent shape and I am happy to get it in in Round-1.

Have got the GSB Chicago interview coming up early next week, but wonder how the hell I am going to prepare for that. Tomorrow have to be at office from 11 AM till probably midnight, wondering how many hours of stay-alone-in-front-of-mirror preparation I will be able to afford. I thought of doing it now, but after 18 hours in office, I don't have the energy left to smile on myself in the mirror. Luckily, have got the data points ready, just need that punch in the style, which should not take much time. Let's see, probably Monday morning may be a better time.

All the best to those who appeared/are soon appearing for interviews!

PS: My browser played a real Halloween trick on me, crashed twice before I could post. Third time, I am typing on a notepad and will be pasting! Ah, why this silly thing at this hour, again?
