Being Professional

Blame it all on the film, the Damn film!!!

Of all the stupid things i have done in my life so far, i added another one last night:( And it all coz of the film "The Devil wears Prada". i know its quite a chic flick, but i just love Meryl Streep!
To cut the long story short, i wrote a long super senti mail (don't ask me why) to my "soon going to be future boss" (actually not my direct boss, but the only guy i like to believe i worked for :)) . I mean who writes a mail in the middle of the night to their super boss, just coz you feel like? And to top it all i rambled and rambled stuff, thinking little that this was extremely "unproffesional"
hmmm!Anyhow all this makes me now wonder what actually constitutes as being professional? Is it about wearing different suits for different life? one at work and one at 'anyplace but work'?

According to Wikipedia - "A professional is a worker required to possess a large body of knowledge derived from extensive academic study (usually tertiary), with the training almost always formalized."

Ha Ha Ha!!! and the best one is yet to come

"The above definitions were echoed by economist and sociologist Max Weber, who noted that professions are defined by the power to exclude and control admission to the profession, as well as by the development of a particular vocabulary specific to the occupation, and at least somewhat incomprehensible to outsiders"

So ladies and gentlemen by above standards i have been EXTREMELY professional! Often i'd hear my boss telling other folks , "yeah, yeah this girl can confuse you with her web jargons and make you sound like you know nothing about web"
Thanks, Weber! you simply gain yourself another fan for the last line "at least somewhat incomprehensible to outsiders" ;)
