Jan 14, Poongal, Sankranthi...

Friday, Jan 14 2011

Woke up around 7am with the intention of getting on to the Conf call organized by anl chow.
Sent out a reply after getting back from salsa. In fact got back early with the intention of sleeping early and waking up prepared for the call.

Around 8:22 get a msg from anl chow saying that "Since we did not hear earlier from you, we did not plan it. Will setup at some other time and will let you know. Thanks""

Wow,, that was a convenient blame game. Sends me a mail after 6pm and expects me to reply immediately. Even thou he said he was going to send me a 2nd mail with the details.

I just hate it when people start playing the blame game and not taking any responsibility for their own actions.....

So now the question is if I should start looking for other avenues for employment as they do not seem to have much going on. Atleast they have a training scheduled for Feb 7. might as well take advantage of this and the pmp in the next few days.

having a splitting head ache. not able to get my self to get on the training.

maybe a vodka with juice should do some trick and then watch some Caribbean Twenty 20.

Woke up around 7:30 with not much motivation or drive. So was trying to figure out the best way to self motivate.
Resolved to cover a lot of ground on pmp as much as I can this afternoon. And only then reward myself with Salsa. ;)

Jan 12 Wed and lots of snow outside.

Wednesday, Jan 12 2011
Woke up late to the sounds of snow pough machine in the parking. A totally beautiful looking white out.
No mail from anl chow so no video secession today.
might as well relax.

Got into a interesting email exchange with anj explaining my Facebook status. and interestingly got mal's email with a longer description. looks like she is towing the line and been more accountable after my hard stand.
Don't have to put up with people taking me for granted. Great exp with E on that and in the end all the hard work and pain for nothing. Should trust my gut instincts more and be strong.
Wish I had trusted them when in Van and cut off ties to her and her selfish-self centered behavior, atleast now I know her to be a Big Liar and crooked person with zero sense of loyalty and gratitude.. Should thank the universe and god for saving me.

Got connected to Dr Pre and called up and talked for about an hr. Hearing each others voice after about 20 years. wow.

Nostalgia of talking about all our other friends and child hood from primary school, to College.

Jan 11 , supposed to be snow day today.

Tuesday, Jan 11 2011

Got back late from salsa at the VanGo. Started off great and then got crowded so sat out for a long time before dancing again with Amie. She is so easy to lead and dance with. Just like Soile in Van. Very compatible.

The first person I danced with seemed to be taken by me after the bachata. Was feeling shy and locked up with the way she was staring and smiling at me after that. Liked it when she came and said bye before leaving. Flattered. :)
Just hope she does not get bored too soon.

Had up-ma for breakfast with fresh ginger tea. I am stocked for the next two days of snow.

Around afternoon was preparing to call up regarding next assignment and on cue got a call from anl chow about been ready tomorrow or day after for a live online secession.
Then called up boco and got to know that they are looking for appropriate openings for me. but to support these guys till then. So does not look like I can expect to get in there.
Went to coscto and got the buffalo style chicken pieces,, so easy to heat up a so yummy and spicey. loved it.
Also got a pack of lil hershy chocolates.

Jan 10, 1st day of paid unemployment

Monday, Jan 10 2010

Woke up late after shutting down the alarm.
Had gone to bed around 4am after salsa in cuba. Phew the crowd was too big in such a small place. Was flattering to be asked to dance by so many pretty ladies. All my shyness and modesty too over and most of the times I just froze, not been sure if this was real. Very flattering from a very friendly and wonderful group of people. It was like they were all family.
So different from the Ego crowd in the cities.
Did not see even one lady say no to any guy.

Got missed call from raj about performance appraisal for year end. called him up in the morning and talked. He seemed to have problem with logging in yesterday night.

Well , wellpoint issues await me. Let me see what I could do as soon as they have the environment ready. As per anl Chowdri

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.
