Fire Fighting day

Tuesday, April 13, 2010
Okay, wake up early 5:30am , do some yoga and light work out. its becoming a good routine.

Today I have to walk for 30 mins with two lap tops on my back to work. no more the luxury of a car. And get busy with the fire fighting of some issue that got reported yesterday....

off to work 7:30am EST

started off from home around 7:45 got to work around 8:15 carrying two laptops . On the way took out the trash from yesterday nights cooking. Was not able to find any closer to my house, ended up carrying that half way to work and dropping it off in the trash bin at penbrook.

George comes in around 9:15 and shows me how the defect was caused. Then sets me up with access to the Dev boxes and tools for me to start my analysis. Start with the prep work of documenting the code. Downloaded text pad for easier reading of code.

Do a couple of tests on DTC for English and spanish speaking and the problem seems to be there in both. So tell george about it and he tries it in NSC and Viola! there is problem even there. So he realises that its got to do with some code he put in. Goes into Service request tools and delets it.
Next compilation of code was supposed to be by 2 pm and we could test it, latter got to know that it will only be ready tomorrow. :(

So around 12 try to get a ride to the Orientation center, but no one seems to be free. So decide to walk. Get out of the office to find it rainning.. aaahh Another 30 mins walk in the rain to the center for taking my pic and got my Id. Then walk back to the office in the rain, reached back by 1pm. Was feeling hungry by then, get food from the cafetria... hope I don't end up paying for it again and rather have my sweet home cooked food.

Talked with narayan on the walk back to office and got to know that he just brought a new black Honda CRV for about $28k. Cheers, maybe we will meet again this week end at the temple.

Filled up the Medical and other benefit from online for CTSH.

Guess I am feeling tired and sleepy, did not have coffee or is it cause of waking up early. Need to start meditating at the new house.

I have to try to take the shuttle from work. lets see where it starts and stops. just got the details of their schedule.

And maybe go for a run around.

This place feels so peaceful away from the city, with laid back people. Freshness of the air and lots of green around. Early morning when I woke up could hear the birds singing in their soothing way. Thou it sounds like its close to NY when one reads that its just 2 hrs drive, not many unerstand that its a place to visit as a tourist, not a place where one can make frequent visits.

Guess I am really ready to retire in a peaceful place and not much into the hectic City life any more..... well do miss the energy I like to feel from the crowded environment. And this place seems to have places to go visit . There is also a national park close by. Just saw a advertisement for a 1 BR condo, just about 100 k. maybe I should plan on buying one instead of paying $1250 per month as rent it could go towards my mortgage. hmmmm

Had gone for a run around 8pm, listening to Merengue on my new iPhone, thats why I was feeling tired.
But good healthy start to life here. Without TV and just me and my lap top and my phone.
