Dec 07, getting life in order

Tuesday Dec 07 2010

woke up early and did some stretching and stomach crunches..
need to loose the accumulating stomach fat. Its been building up for lack of exercise, which is cause of lack of motivation, which compounded by the cold weather, ,,,,,

Anyways got organizing the cloths from the dryer, had been there for about 2 weeks. Again laziness or the inclination to put it off. Glad that I don't have TV.

Got the heating and electricity bill, its taken a 100 percent jump,, from about $50 to $100 all because of the heating issues.

And the real cold has not started yet. ;(((

got to get cracking on the management certification and the new technology... great opportunity that I should not miss. Have to motivate myself and incorporate more self discipline.

got to work by 7:35am and saw that sweta @ bangalore ofshore was offline for about 30 mins. guess must have taken off from work early. Got in early to give her an update on the go live and the tele call button.

Dec 06 strange mail

Monday, Dec 06 2010

reach work by 7:45am then suddenly keep getting msgs from other asking me where I am. And the last one from bachu.....
As there appeared to be some kind of glitch in the moc tele call back web link.

well it was out of the scope of cti.

was there in the war room till afternoon. then decided to get home for lunch. Got to the car, pulled out and seeing the start of snowing.. went right back to the parking spot. Walked to the canteen and had a chicken wrap with fries.

Then back to trying to set up Cti in T5 and showing srikanth the current behavior of cti screens.

Before that came the strange mail from hari about wanting to train me in on demand contactcenter. and the subsequent mail to ajit about sending me for the contact center traing, which it turns out is something online for free for cog employess at the oracle portal.

Dec 04 SATurday of uncertainities

Saturday, Dec 04 2010
woke up with a sense of uncertainty, not knowing if it was a working day or was it a day to take it easy.
got to see a funny Mr bean dance on FB. thats nice to start the day with a laugh.

Got to start organizing and doing partial packing. Feels great to think of all the amount I saved not having a TV and the cable. approx $1000 at the min.

Uncertain about the plan to go to India as a Canadian citizen.

Around 10 went for a run about 2kms.in the -1 deg C temp. ended up with a frozen face.

started cooking Dosa and the chicken curry. hahaha, cooking dosa after a long time was a funny experience. only got it right on the 3rd dosa.

Around 2:30 got a call from joe asking me to come in for the smoke testing at 4 or 4:30 got ready after finishing the cooking and headed to work.
was nice to see that everything went thru smoothly for the Cti part. cheers

got back around 8:30pm. tempted to go out dancing salsa. but maybe I will go to the Cuban thing on sunday. lets see if Tara is interested in going, was not able to contact her after my return from Spain.

Dec 2nd Thu,, yahoo blocke at office

Thursday Dec 02 2010... (12-02-2010)

Woke up around 5am to the sound of the cell phone alarm. And guess where I woke up, on the couch. Don't know when i passed out there.
The made my way to the bed room to shut off the alarm and jumped on to the bed to wake up around 6:45. wow. I must be really tired or getting too lazy.

Had even dressed up yesterday evening to go run and ended up watching funny clips on Facbook.
Well maybe tonite I run.

Dec 1st... last month of exciting 2010

Wednesday Dec 01 - 2010 (12-01-2010)

Last month of an exciting year.
Winter olympics
Spain
Portugal
Working in NY
Working in Lansdale
Hiking around Philly

The multitude of people I got to meet.

Got to know the depth and extend I could go for compromising in the name of love, just that it was for someone who did not deserve it and was not worth it. hehehe,, good lesson learnt to trust my instincts even more.

Some people are not good with it and hence "do not draw to conclusions too soon" applies to them.
And I have to learn to trust my instincts more now as they seem to be on target and on the money.
I am truly blessed with something unique. :)

It was nice to know that this is the last month of my project here and will have to move on to other location. Fingers crossed.
