We all r RUNNING!
Some say we r running after wealth while others say after love but if we start seeing it this way then there r numerous things in this world that different individuals may be striving for……
Also some people may be scampering just aimlessly
However, I feel the common thing that we all run after is "Peace of Mind"……and anything that seems to bring it 
"I was almost impatient to write this post but was waiting for something to happen and that **something** happened just yesterday so here goes the post!" 
First I thought of naming this post “2 in 1” as I’m going to tell u about my dual success but then decided to give it the topic that u can see now because verily Allah (SWT) is the supreme authority, the most merciful and the most beneficial and my accomplishments are nothing but His blessings for me. Dear Readers, I’m feeling extremely glad to tell you that I have finally got a job. What makes me even happier and proud is the fact that I have been able to land on this job entirely on merit basis Alhamdulilah as I had applied to that place with reference to an ad published in Dawn. Also, it is the kind of job that I had been looking for soooooo long. 
I have been appointed as a “SQA Engineer” in a US based software house that started its operations in Pakistan some time ago but can still be taken as a start up. There are a lot of things that I liked about this place. The people whom I have met there are very nice, highly experienced and honest because they keep their word (at least so far they have so I’m hoping that they would do so in the future as well). Infact, this is something that has impressed me the most because for me working with dishonest people and hypocrites is a living nightmare as often I fail to figure out the dirty little tricks they play.
Apart from this, I really like the kind of the working model my current employer follows. It believes people to have cross-functional roles. Every employee is supposed to have a primary responsibility and some secondary responsibilities like being a SQA Engineer 70% of my tasks would be related to quality assurance and the rest 30% would be related to development and I guess analysis and design as well. So, that means I’ll get a good understanding of the entire SDLC and as the IT manager said, “We want our people to be the master of one and jack of all” so I hope the same for myself as well.
The other good news that I’m about to tell u is related to my academic life. My final semester results got announced last month and by the grace of Allah I received first position alongwith a scholarship for my MS at SZABIST. Now whether I’ll be going for my MS there or not is a separate story altogether and something that I still need to decide. One thing which is making this decision making process very difficult is that my scholarship would remain valid for this year only; and if I plan not to join then I would lose not just the scholarship but my position as well because they won’t be giving me any certificate 
Hud hai bhaee….now if I don’t get a certificate then how would people know if I really acquired secured first position or not….cruel morons 
Neway there are loads of other things that I want to talk about but as this post has already become quite long so I will include them in my next post. Till then Good Bye from Ms. Jobful (yeah….if jobful is the word then I’m so…waisay don’t u think there shud be one??…the opposite of jobless?? 
)
First it was Google the great to introduce this fantastic feature of chatting inside the Inbox and now Yahoo has come up with the same feature. I guess employees at different organizations and students would have appreciated this feature the most as at many organizations and similarly at schools/colleges chatting is not allowed and to stop people from chatting, no IM applications are installed on PCs there. Though web messengers have resolved this problem to a great extent but then again they become too obvious while u use them so u can easily get caught
Furthermore chatting facilities inside inbox turn out to be very helpful for the ones using smart phones, PDAs etc. as well.
It has been more than a month since Yahoo introduced this feature in Yahoo Mail Beta and I wanted to blog about it soon after I found it but then decided to wait for some time and see how it evolves. Initially there were some bugs like even if no one is online it would show 1 contact as online and excitedly when you try to check out who’s online you see a smiley with ‘Me’ written in front of it.
Apart from this I remember not finding any status options other than ‘Online’ but now all the regular status options have been made available including my all time favorite “Invisible” Other than this you can chat pretty smoothly as so far I haven’t experienced any hitches while using it.
Following are some of the screen shots I captured while using it
Update:
I just found out that the bug about showing the user himself/herself as a contact is still there. When one chooses to stay ‘Invisible’ it does not show up ,however, as soon as u change ur status to ‘Online’ or ‘Busy’, a contact appears to be online on ur list and that contact is noone but u urself….weird…Yahoo needs to check this out!
