Woke up around 8am with a extermination to complete the planned courses.
Got cracking on it by 9 and was able to finish half of Human resources part 2, when I got a call from the Doc office asking me come over to collect my classes.
yea.... got my first pair of classes. went there after completing the half and was hoping to do the other half on return.
After I got the glasses, went for a drive from the Docs office and reached Costco. walked about, trying to read small write ups on boxes.... wow so clear and crisp. then was trying to see if I could get people to look at me and see how they reacted, friendly or with a suspicion. was a mixed bag, there was one lady who seemed as thou she wanted to bite me and eat me. uggggg run.
Then called up home and had a good chat with mom and dad.
later called up anl and told him too.
time to get back to learning,, tried starting the car ,,, dammm had left the head lights on that freaking drained out my car batteries..... waited for 30mins and tried starting the car ,,, but no luck.. so called up AAA
that freak took more than an hour to reach me. in between talked with balji in san fran. he seems to tired of living here away from his other family and friends and wants to go back and settle down. so tempting, but my place is a village so very far from the cities, so that would still not be a good vi-able plan for me. Would still have to go to some crowded city and seek employment.
got back around 4 only to find the online site for the course is down for maintenance,, its about 9pm and its still down,,, ahhh.. screwed up plan.

Oct 07 2011, Friday - Confusion and uncertainity
Friday, Oct 07 2011
Started the day, with having to move the car about 2 blocks early in the morning as they were laying the street. saw a few cars getting towed away. The deadline was 7am.
then got down to trying to contact bos, who again I guess was traveling, tried calling again around 10:30,,,,, going to voice. But got a call back from him after sometime, around 12:20.
Did not give any hope of been able to find an opening or extension in the company, so its bye-bye for sure in 2 more weeks. Surprisingly, still not feeling any fear or pressure.
not sure if thats a good thing or bad.
On his advice called up sharmi and left a msg, who was in charge of the global data base.
Have to start packing the extra boxes I got from costco.
uncertainty and surprising twists and turns are the key words in my life.
when will I ever have some stability?
updated the OS. not sure if there is going to be any performance issue, but now I am able to use the app for calculating my running, walking and other activities. kool thing.

Oct 06 2011, Thursday, Just for Today.
Thursday, Oct 06 2011
woke up with a struggle, but was up by 6:30am.
had breakfast and reached the docs office by 9:20am, eyes still good, but a bit short sighted. So might as well go for the glasses frame when its covered by my insurance.
Eyes were still dilated when I got out and the sun was making it tough. Went to costco and the lady at the eye shop asked me to come back for measurements. So went back again. the eye dilation was affecting my driving and vision. After a struggle made it back in my trusty car.
Was not able to read properly cause of the dilation. so skipped the online course.
Posted this inspiring piece on Fb, surprisingly, I found that I was practicing most of it from my own experience and trying to motivate myself.
Kind of paradigm, here I am about the end of my job with the current company and dont seem to be that worried. Earlier had "fear" motivating me to work extra hard and fast to get to the next job.
JUST FOR TODAY
by Vin Vinner on Wednesday, 05 October 2011
1. Just for today, I will be HAPPY. This assumes that what Abraham Lincoln said is true, that "most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be" . Happiness is from within; it is not a matter of externals.
2. Just for today, I will try to adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my family, my business and my luck as they come and fit myself to them.
3. Just for today, I will take care of my body. I will exercise it, care for it, nourish it, not abuse it nor neglect it, so that it will be a perfect machine for my bidding.
4. Just for today, I will try to strengthen my mind, I will learn something useful, I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
5. Just for today, I will exercise my soul in three ways, I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. I will do at least two things I don't want to do, as William James suggests, just for exercise.
6. Just for today, I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress as becomingly as possible, talk low, act courteously, be liberal with praise, criticize not at all, nor find fault with anything and not try to regulate not improve anyone.
7. Just for today. I will try to live through this day only, not to tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do things for twelve hours that would appall me if I to keep them up for a life time.
8. Just for today. I will have a program, I will write down what I expect to do every hour, I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. It will eliminate two pests, hurrying and indecision.
9. Just for today, I will have a quite half-hour all by myself and relax. In this half-hour sometimes I will think of God, so as to get little more perspective into my life.
10. Just for today, I will be unafraid, especially I will not be afraid to be HAPPY, to enjoy what is beautiful, to love, and to believe that those I love, love me.
THINK AND ACT CHEERFULLY,
AND YOU WILL FEEL CHEERFUL.
Cheers to Happiness

Oct 04 2011, re-newed dertermination
Tuesday, Oct 04 2011
Woke up early with renewed determination to get things done on the online course,
.
called up the lab and gave them the insurance details. that was easier than doing it on the web.
The apt inspector from the county came by to check the fire alarms.
around 2:33 finished the definin and sequencing
Then stepped out to go to costco. the streets were cloged with traffic. ufff.
Made it thru the little streets and had a chat with venk. was talking about Qatar and how the average house hold income there were 3 times more than US. No wonder people working there are able to come back to kerala with truck loads of cash and buy up the properties.
The US may also collapse economically soon. its just a question of time. They are all living on credit. That is money belonging to someone else. Its like a Giant Ponzi scam.
Yet the only place in the world, where you can succeed if you have the energy to work and creativity to appeal to the market.
Does not matter who your parents and family is or your background. All depending on your enterprising spirit and risk taking ability.
The land of self made millionaires.
unlike the Lazy Europeans who love to enjoy and lazy around from all the stolen wealth from the colonies.
The greeks, the italians, the spanish, the ultra lazy Czechs, the crazy irish, the portuguese, the drunk Eastern europeans..... all lazy retarded people who only love to waste time doing frivolous things and think that things pay for itself.
And then they go on to blame the gypsies for doing the same things.
hahaha talk about double talk.
Wonder what italian bomb gulia is doing. last time she sent me a card from germany. maybe will try to convince her to make the move to Qatar.
Returned back from costco and had chicken samosas and mini chicken patties from costco. they were surprisingly good.
talked a bit with anil and chatted with a comcast rep to help log me in.
latter watched kama sutra on the free movies on comcast.
now to finish the estimating, resources and duration.... . need inspiration to complete all these courses. 10 down,,,,18 more to go.
went for a walk and a little jog in the cold.
Got this link on FB from ke sina , that was kind of her to share it, Very interesting and thought provoking.
