Jan 21, meetings and talking and listenting :)

Friday, Jan 21 2011

was not able to get out off bed after going to sleep late, late cause of catching up with off-shore mails and meeting requests I need to send so that they are on the conf call with others.... hit bed by 2 and was feeling awake till 3am atleast.

So getting up around 6 to be ready for the 7am call was a drag.

anyways got ready for non-stop calls,

Jan 20, meetings and emails

Thursday, Jan 20 2011

Starting off the morning with Meetings. And an onslaught of Emails. good god.

Expecting snow by night fall thou it was sunny in the day. More so because of the Low storm coming from the west. Atleast I am not driving to Bos anymore.

So tonites salsa goes for a toss with the 2nd winter snow storm of this week. Last blast came from the south, this one is coming from the West.
Feels good to be working from home. :)

Jan 18, Ice and snow strom

Tuesday, Jan 18, 2011

Woke up around 3am to start off for boston. Only to find that it was snowing as expected.
Got ready and went down to the rental car to find a layer of ice on it. Like it was covered by a shell of ice. The streets and road seemed to slippy too. So decided to wait it out and see how it progresses.
Called up bangalore to talk with Swetha and then got muralis number from her. Called him up he said he would call me latter as he was in a meeting.

The sent out a mail to prasd around 5am. who called back around 7am to tell me to call off the trip.
Got mail from him regarding the meetings.

Latter during the day got call from mns. we talked for some time. gave me info to the links.
sent him info about the planned meetings as he got the invite at his client account.

Tried to call up prasd again and left a msg as I was confused as to the date I need to be in boston.

Around 4:30 went and returned the car rental. dollar 42... and the $12 I spent on filling up the tank.
Around evening got call back from prasd. said that I was not required back this week and I could come with mns on monday, asked him regarding the limit on hotel rates. said was around $100. so that was ok compared to the $50 I am used to.

Asked to send him a .xls with the rates for his approval. around 9:20pm sent him a comprehensive one that had expenses around 850 per week.

Monday, Jan 17, 2010

Got call in the morning frm prsd. was surprised that he thought that I was told about all this and that I was expected to report to work on 18th at Boston. wooo.

Latter on got more details and that its a short term one so don't have to move out of lansdale. 2 months of shuttling between boston and philly.

Went and got the car rented by 4:30 and picked up by 5:30pm only to see that the weather forcast says snow and ice.
Should have just booked the flight and flown there.

Saturday, 15 Jan 2010

Woke up lazy late, called up home and talked for a few. mom wanted me to check out some gals profile she came across.
Ended up looking in the sadi site.

Was impressed by the prettiness of all the gals from thiya and north kerala. Wow, I could easily fall see myself falling for them if they were anywhere near here. Most of them look so gentle and heart warmingly sweet.

Then around afternoon set out to Ven temple @bridgewater. then turned around after sometime.
Talked with mal on the phone, got motivated to go to Brasils. Thou did not have a good time the past few times I went out there.

Had good time dancing Salsa, better than expected.
