up at 5:20am and did some light work out. Vikram wakes up @6 and gets ready by 7 to take off to alen town and his new house.
He drops me off at work around 7:20am. feels nice to be at work,,,, not many of the Indians around, but most of the Merck employees seem to be in by 7am... I guess they take off early by 3pm and go about their private life the rest of the evening.
Sun rise is around 5am and sets around 8pm... lots of daylight time... got to take advantage of summer time and improve my physical self.
Surprise to see Sara on FB chat from Italy.. sweet she is also coming to Van around May 1st ,, hopefully will get to dance with her a lot. Not sure if I will be able to keep up with the stamina of someone who runs 15 kms easily..... well maybe I can start working on my run. tonite to the community gym in my apt building. saw a few good looking chicks there, that should be good motivation. And maybe get them together and form a salsa club. :)
Problem at work, as the computer was not able to connect to the network. Was not able to do anything much. There seems to be some kind of virus going on. Seems to have impacted a lot of peoples computer.
I was in the process of getting on the online learning and compiling the book "PeopleSmart". The comp got into issues before I could get to the last two chapters.
Around 2 got a missed call and msg from Williams moving , Jim Feroese . Called him back and talked to him briefly. And then sent him the list of Items to move, about 18 items.
Surprise Birthday party for Bachu Ekalavaya.... his wife sent a surprise Birthday cake to the office thru another colleague.. Sweet,, who said Indian women don't know to please their men and make them feel special ,,, like kings..... now I am really feeling envious of all these guys here, who seem to be happily married to women who are willing to put up with all the constant re-location that most indians working in IT in US have to go thru.
Well it takes a special kind of attitude, that only Indian women are raised with to go along and make Family the core and center of their lives.
Started reading the e-book from the management training online on People smart, great so far and the topics covered....
4pm, on a whim go along with kris and raj to a KT secssion (knowledge Transfer). There this guy who was leaving "Krishna Venugopal" turned out to be someone who recognized me from the College days, he was my junior by 2 years. WE got talking about all the girls, the fun times, and briefly about our life and other college mates. Thou I was and am not able to remember him, he spent a lot time with my other closest friends and room mates. It was a tight circle of college big shots (guys who always caused trouble, strikes, teased girls, fights.....).
That was a surprising thing, I am meeting someone from SDM college of Engg and Tech after about 10 years. My first in the US/Canada.
He seems to have had it going really good, has two houses in New Jersey. :)
