Fixing in UAT again

9:00am reached reception. got txt frm ajit saying that mtg with George moved to 9:30am
Sit it out in the car. Enter around 9:20 and the security lady lets me in without escort. So get into the room and call up ajit and let him know.

9:45 he comes by and we go to meet George, nice guy who was one of the client team that interviewed me a few days ago. Then he takes me the high security War room ment for the CTI (computer Telephony Integration). The door has its own unique security code to enter and I am the only guy in Cognizant give that. hmmm niceeee.

Thou I have not got my Id card and Laptop, he gets me in so that I could help him fix some broken functions in the current Environment. They are going live with enhancements in May and hence are in UAT phase too. Ahhh again another project in the UAT phase. oh no ! it looks like UAT karma is catching up with me.

Well there starts my CTI at Merck.

George starts by telling me the details of the project and the history behind some of the happenings.

We get to the 2 issues that he has as priority.
the first one, related to spanish language, I felt we needed more info about data from the middle ware known only thru their logs, which we might only be able to get to on monday.
2nd related to internal calls ending up getting pop ups.

We go about trying to increase the log levels.
then around 12:45 head for lunch. George wanted to go to his desk and eat there while working, I decided to stay put in the cafetria. George comes back saying that he is sorry for been rude and joins me. wow! so its not a western or white folk thing when people decide to go away on their own. Its a individual personalty thing.
After going thru the months of torture of trying to figure out, what the issue was in my relationship. And why I am feeling so sensitive to certain behavior, i realize, its really not me. Different people Different attitude! Some are team oriented, some are very individualistic, which to sensitive team players like me would mean too selfish and self centered attitude. But then again its my own built up of expectations about someone special in my life.


Anyways after lunch we went back to trying to understand the problem, george heads off to a series of meetings he has after giving me access with his id.

After doing a few tests, I come up with a temp solution to remedy the symptom, THOU YET TO DEFINE THE PROBLEM and find the right solution

'PrimaryDNIS' = '99{AgentExtension}' OR 'PrimaryDNIS' = '{AgentExtension}'
Filter.SiebelViewBmk ?????*
FilterSpec.ANI
090_Inbnd_ANI_Int-->InboundCallNoInfoFilterSpec = 'PrimaryDNIS' IS NOT '99{AgentExtension}' OR 'PrimaryDNIS' IS NOT '{AgentExtension}'

5:00 head to Station Sq and check on the apartment again and to confirm about the heat and other charges....
The new lady there tells me that the apt is no longer available for 1150 and its now 1195 and the heat and electricity comes to about $150 / month. So now the price has gone up by $200.

Meaning that I end up paying about $4000 to $5000 more per year compared to the Older apartment -> Penbrook Apts.

The go to Prembrook and try asking if the apt could be ready sooner. Looks like the people who are staying are vacating in on May 8th and the management do not know the condition of the place. Hence the issue of promising the date.

6:00pm Reach Bank of america on VanForge street after the one on Forty feet rd seemed to be have closed down for good. not really impressed.

Phew what an end to an traumatic high pressure week.

lets see sat and sunday to NJ . to the temple and then some time with narayan and family
