I'm just wondering - how do you keep a straight face telling people what you do when your job title reads something like this. Just wondering.
And I would never have known that such a thing even existed if it wasn't for some chap sitting behind me in the bus who gets a call on his mobile and very loudly goes: "Mujhe Patni se phone aaya tha ... they need a penetration tester!"
Me and the guy in the next seat had to resort to holding our stomachs to stop. It was that hilarious. First thing I did when I got home was to look it up on the Wiki. And there it was - something to do with IT security. Bludy hell, you'd think they'd come up with a better name for it. I had a feeling it was IT related ... what else could Patni be into, but when you hear someone say it the first time it will totally have you rolling on the floor.
Any other such "embarrassing" jobs you guys know of? Do share.

What did I tell you about the markets? Crazy huh! Also crazy was the Kolkata Knight Riders win over the Super Kings last night. I bet Shahrukh threatened the lads with dire consequences -- Do or get done! ;)

Getting slightly philosophical now, I'd say there are only two ways to live your life -- Succumb, or Run like Hell. Even if it means running against the wind as the song goes.
From the soundtrack to Forrest Gump - Bob Seger. For our boy Eddie Hyde who recently also completed 6 long years of blogging. And though he can't claim to have as many wimmen fans as I do, I think he's pretty cool. Ride on brother!

have to agree on the women fans. Here I am. :-)
One job description that had me rolling was "Babe Tasting"
It's not the job but the way a guy used to call his "Web Testing" job
Ouch, but I couldn't help laughing anyway. :-D
As for wimmen fans, I make sure they stay away, being bad for their health and all. ;-)

Patni is still hiring? And i almost believed they are shutting shop!! :)
Hyde .. wat abt regular followers of ur tales?? :)
or perhaps that is coz you are a friend of SwB ;)
@Aru: yeah, and you're probably one of the earliest.
@Aps: LMAO :)) Too much!
@Hyde: You're a penetration tester!!! Get outta here, no way!! Holy crap! Hahahaha!!!
@MAAN: Yeah I thought Patni were on the verge of shutting shop too. But it looks like they still need people with "special skills", like our man Hyde here! :)
Is it only me or did anyone else think the "patni" was "wife"? and some IT company? :)
@SwB: Ha ha, not a penetration tester. :-D
@MAAN: Which followers?
--Hyde
Boy, you have started replying to comments!
Sweet :)
ROTFL !!
Penetration tester !
After giving a speech at a meeting, a man walked upto me, and told me : "i enjoyed you thoroughly". Two friends of mine were seen rolling on the floor.
I can picturise you here !
Like Yashita, even I read that as patni=wife. And was wondering why his wife needed a penetration tester!
Aww. You and Eddie Hyde can cut a cake. And you'd save on it too! ;)
Haaha....ahem...at my Firm we have a whole team that does just that heheh
That and 'Ethical Hacking'. Very cool :)
@Purely Narcotic: I am sure Blues prefers beer. :-D
--Hyde
Is that the Goan equivalent of 'Sorro'? ;)
Umm, what would Sorro be?
--Hyde
This obviously comes to mind -- Masseur for Models! Christ, how terrible!

You're right about the women fans... :) They just cant seem to get enough ;P
