Jan 09 ,,, bright and sunny day

Sunday, Jan 09 2010

Woke up late called up home and told about the expected mail.

Got working on the laundry

now to cook some upma.... yea.. babe
turned out better than expected even thou I ran out of salt and used lesser than needed.

So had it with tomato pickle and mango pickle.... MTR brand of pickles rules.

Jan 08 ,, more snow, Dosas and tapioca

Saturday, Jan 08 2010

More snow, just stayed home the whole day.


Called up home asked about cooking tapioca. got instructions on that, but decided to bake it in the oven.
yummm. even eating a little kind of made me feel full. Well thats a nice feel of Kerala.

Then made Dosas,,, nothing like home cooked dosas... made 5.
Its funny how people end up eating 5 to 10 dosas at home and have only one at the restaurants and feel filled up. Guess they are adding some kind of additive to make you feel full. No wonder we end up feeling hungry pretty soon after eating in the restaurant.


Then around 4 went for a walk in the heavy boots came back around 6,, legs aching with the heavy boots.

Did not feel like driving all the way to downtown for salsa.

Jan 05 ,,,,, called up call center in kerala

Wednesday, Jan 05 2010

reached work around 9:30am after calling up home and getting to know the car number....
Then from work called up the call center for pw reset.
Ended up getting one guy who was speaking so fast, could not understand what he was saying.
And the fool tells me that he will only be able to proceed further if I am holding the card in my hand.
Even thou I tell him I have the number and the details, the card is in India and I am in US....ahhh so much for common sense.
End up getting angry at his foolishness and then tell him, okay I have the card in my hand.
Then he transfers the call to a lady who helps re-set the password. And then transfers the call to another person to reset the net password.

Lets see if I can do more of the mgmt online courses and fine tune my mind. My achievement for the past 11 days has been just 10 %... was hoping to be able to finish most of the online courses about 50 to 60hrs.
But was able to finish only 1 of 2 hrs... now wait thats more like 4 to 5 percent.... ahhhhh I am so going to atleast reach the 10percent today.
