Customs dept

Friday the 18 of Jun 2010
++++++++++++++++++++

Got up early thinking of hitting the 7am train to downtown philly. then realised that it was peak hr commute and would cost more. So attended the 7 to 7:30 meeting with Kolkata India which as usual spilled into 8am.

Saw Eva come online on gtalk. did seem to be replying to my greetings. :(

then took the 8:50am train to Philly, reached there by 10am
Went to the US Customs house which also had the Homeland security and Passport office. Heavy security just like entering the airport and run by 3 idots who seem to be frustrated at their job.

Got thru and went into one of the office which had a big crowd and turns out to be the passport office. Entered the other door opposite , hardly any one around, then a older african american lady comes over and asks me how can i help you. Tell her about my vehicle documents needed by the DMV. So she goes over to a Customs Inspector and tells him about me. That was very touching.

After a few mins he comes over, was very understanding and he asked me where was my car. told him it was at my house. He said that was okay, he filled up the forms i had no clue about and stamped them. The stamp was one thing that was supposed to have happend when the Truck driver got the car in at the border.

Phew ! that was easy. Some people make life so easy with their kindness and understanding. May god bless him and his family.

get out with a huge sense of relief and walk around Penns landing, There was a couple of USS navel ship anchored in the river. what a magnificent sight. :)

Bright blue skies,
current of water flowing down the river,
man made vessels trying to co exist with the natures turbulence,
and make life easy of man and his needs.

Man is all very powerful in his desire to achieve with his persistence to bend across nature and make way for a comfortable life for himself and his family.

11:00 get back to 30th street and at 11:16 get on to the R5 train to penbrook.
12:10 reach penbrook and at home heat up the rice and have it with yogurt (curd).

Once again did not make curry, maybe i will have it with scrambled eggs.

Drop off the customs documents at FIAZO for the DMV , hope to get the Registration done soon.

get to work, do a few more tests to see if the code was fixed , cleaned up the code a bit and moved it into the Dev server.

updated the Quality documents to reflect the changes I made.

Thinking of joining the hiking group going to New York tomorrow morning. Did not know that New york city had something to hike in. Well it should be a good discovery phase for me. keeping options open

Right now having vodka orange juice, bloody mary as its known. And head back to down town for some sexciting salsa.
Feel like letting go of everything I hold as dear and sincere and become a insincere guy just talking things that the girls want to hear. Bloodly hell no one seems to care for the real nice guy in me. They just take me for granted and not even appreciate me for all the goodness I stand for. lets see how I feel when I get there.
