Jul 23 2011, heat wave

Saturday, jul 23 2011

The heat wave continues, not in any mood to step out of the house and face the 105 deg temp. enjoying the 80 deg in the apt.

Watched some internet videos yesterday night after getting back from Borders. How nice it would have been had they had the same kind of crowd come in every day. But now they are going out of business with discounts of upto 40 %.

was reading the book by dale carnegie.

A small man flies into a rage over the slightest of criticism, but the wise man is eager to learn from those who have censured him and reproved him and disputed the passage with him.

Walt Whitman -> Have you learned lessons only of those who admired you and were tender with you, and stood aside for you?
Have you not learned great lessons from those who rejected you, and braced themselves against you, or disputed the passage with you?

well got to get back to packing my stuff and get ready for the move.

Still trying to motivate myself to stay focused and get some studying done to improve my knowledge.

july 22 Friday, end of week, one more to go

Friday, jul 22, 2011

Early morning interview, with a few people calling from ind for job in us. it went well, just put off by the fact that dumbos from dumb companies have suddenly risen to be managers rank in ind and are having the control over blocking my lifes direction.

About time I either get out of this rut I am stuck in for about 10 years or continue to be here and become redundant in the market. Or reposition myself into management.

Temperatures are soaring here in the East coast, funny been in a second Summer in one year, one in india and now in the Us.

Have to now get down to the last packing of my stuff and be ready to move out by the end of next week.

Was nice dancing with the girl with the sweetest beautiful innocent smile, how nice it would be to be loved by someone like that, just that ever present smile would be an all positive reaffirmation and motivation to help me get thru any bad day. Just thinking about her smile makes my heart smile and go flush. :),,, love love love.

Jul 20 2011, day of unravelling

Wednesday, Jul 20 2011,

The day , have a feeling that its going to reveal itself like layers of Onion been peeled. In a way arousing my own curiosity as to what lays ahead.

Yesterday signed up for the new apartment, again for 3 month only. So unsure of the next steps related to the job I may get. So far no one contacted me and its been 3 weeks. So soon they may either kick me out and in that case will be moving to a new short term project in an entirely different location.

Looking for a perm job, but non seems to be materializing.

And this opportunity to study some great subjects is in front of me and I am not making any good use of it. So totally feeling unmotivated and on the border of depression. Which in turn is making me lazy and not able to motivate myself to do any work out or go for a run. Which again is causing me to become fatter and fatter..... ahhhhh

Jul 18, inspiring day

Monday, Jul 18 2011

Life and happiness I am discovering are all about our ability to control our desires.

The more we are able to let go of our attachments to worldly entities, the more we are in control of our faculties to control our own happiness.

One learns from ones past, but lost are those who ignore the past and bull doze into the future. And the result, history repeating itself.
Then they wonder with bitter feelings and words. When the answer is right there hehehehe.

Jul 17 Sunday, Humbleness

2011 Jul 17 Sunday, Humbleness


What thoughts can I think today to help me feel HUMBLE, grounded and down to earth.

The constant thoughts of Grandeur and actions Filled with excitement, desiring, craving the highs of Excitement often seems to lead to loosing control soon and feelings of regret going forward.


Comes back to Lifes purpose????? --> Choice of Spreading goodness around :)

We are all constantly thinking and that thinking leads of seeking to ful fill our predominant thoughts and desires. In essence if we think in terms of Grandeur, wanting to be royalty, treated like royalty, been the center of attention, seeking excitement which again leads to seeking higher and higher levels as doing the same things which were exciting at one point always seem lead to boredom. The point is people seeking the superficial highs tend to go in a direction which is like entering a tunnel of destruction which never ends.

Which again brings me to what I need to do, and it dawned upon me, that its just my own thoughts. If I would consciously try to think thoughts that are humbling in nature, it would help me stay in a plateau of peace and harmony.

I do not have to go to exotic places to seek that, I could just do that where ever I am. In my own room, just in my own mind and body, I would not need the help or company of others to achieve that - those thoughts and state.

Just have to sincerely make the effort to think the humble thoughts about myself and believe in the greatness and greater powers of the universe.

That again starts with been honest with my own self.

The more honest one is to oneself about oneself, the easier it is to understand what we truly are doing and need to do to improve our-self.

Jul 16 2011, lowest Customer service

Sat Jul 16 2011

After coming across the lowest excuses in the customer service I received of recent, I was feeling a bit low and confused.

The movers were all quoting high rates there by making it impossible to think of hiring a mover.

And then the sick nickle and diming from the lady debbie mol at the rental office of Scully Company, wanting $50 towards admin fee in addition to the rent I Would be giving for moving in a day early.....
that room has and is vacant there and if I move in a day early, the company would benefit,
And had I rather applied again, it would have costed me just $40 with the credit check.

It feels so funny that people come up with weirdest excuses to not do their job of providing good customer service, instead leave customers with a bad taste after their interaction.
her excuse is that she would have to redo every thing, REdo every thing? you just have to change the dates by one day and I had not even given the security deposit.

It was just sick and feel that even the US there are people who tend to behave in such a lowly way.

Wanted to move in a day early as I was not able to find any movers to come on Sunday the jul 31st

Its not like I was asking for this to make things difficult for everyone. In fact she seems to have taken on herself to make life difficult for everyone, if this is the welcome I got now, wonder how their customer service would be latter. ahhh ,,,, would not recommend this place to anyone and would rather try to move away after my 3 months stay.

Wonder if this is the vision statement of their company to make life difficult for people moving into their rental apartment.

Or maybe the employees are just propagating the Vision and attitude of the Higher Management. Good retarded job by Scully Company.

Well at least it gives me some material for my job in Customer Relationship Management (CRM).
Great example of what should not be done and how business is lost by even one persons crude behavior. :) cheers.
