Dec 24 2011, Christams eve

Saturday, Dec 24 2011

Got back home by 10 and what a refreshing feeling to get into ones own hot shower.

Got back from the twn pks around 1am , where the very pretty little gals (who looked under aged) were just wearing the basic min. And were trying to flash the twp pks and hoping to get more tip,, but the service sucked, the waiterss who served us, thou she looked good, behaved like she did not care much about providing customer service. She came around saying that its the last call for the kitchen and if we needed anything, when anl said, just give me a min, she was, oh no not possible. So instead of ordering more food and drinks, we just said, ok fine then we rather have the check....

And that means they lost two potentially good customers and the others they would have possibly told.

Its sad how the requesting for even one min to go thru the menu to place the order was not granted and how it could mean a loss to the business, not to mention the possible profit from the good publicity they would have got had she been a bit inclined to accommodate the one min.

Well thats another good example of Customer Service Attitude and the training that could have helped.

Dec 21 2011, Scanning Receipts

Wednesday Dec 21 2011

Hard getting out of bed in the morning...

Got working on scanning and uploading them. Had a tough time with the uploads as only one page was getting shown. Atleast I do not have to fax them.

have to wait for the Am ex records to update in the expense sheet and submit it all... my own expense came to around 2600 that is not including the moving of household stuff and car.

Its like I am having a paid vacation into the south of US. Just that its a bit cold outside, but its gorgeous when the skies are not cloudy.

Spend the evening watching the planes take of in 2's and 3's, like a massive coordinated orchestra in the sky. with about 7 run ways this must easily be the biggest airport.

Want to go out running,, again motivation is the culprit.

Sent out resume, got to see if anything will work out. if it does, its again back to the north east.

like it here in this area, things are cheaper and people are much more nicer and sweeter.

Dec 20 2011, 1st night spend in my own bed

Tuesday, Dec 20 2011

Woke up relaxed to a great extend, courtesy to my comfy bed.

had earlier passed out on the couch.

now to get things done. it was great fixing a few things, gave me a bit more of optimism.

Then started calling up people for putting my resume up for the global database of the company.
raj and bos did not pick up the phone (as expected) so left a msg.

Wish the timing was better, if I am to be out of the company, thats ok too. But want to stay on and build up a career. lets see as the stars forecast, Dec 22 a day to keep my eyes open for. Liked this company as they took care of all the moving aspects so far and were very professional and organized.
much better than been at the mercy of some persons mood swings and attitude.

well now to go cracking on the DMV for my license.

Dec 19 2011, car registeration

Monday Dec 19 2011

Got up around 6:30,, had a night mare and remember waking up shouting a few hrs ago.

Was ready to get out by 8am. reached my apartment by 9:30. was waiting for the cable guy to come and start up my connection.

around 12 Called up the call center and got to tatiyana again asked her about the appointment, and she was all about the 8 hrs window and that they could come in, basically my whole day would be wasted. yew

but by 12:30 that person came in and set it up.

Around 2 pm head out towards Ft wrth to the county tax office where they issue the registration for the car. handed over my title and was told to expect the new one in the mail. around $190 for the registeration.

got back to the car to find that I had left the lights on and the battery died on me. damm..

so around 3:30 call up triple A . then with the rain falling like crazy, decided to use the glue pen to fix some of the loose hanging things in the car. It suddenly started changing, everything seems to fall in place, on an instinct, tried to start the car and it started too... wowowoooo its always like that, when things start happening positive, even the negative miraculously gets converted to positive. cheers

So head back home.. and the rain turns into a storm.. good god. it was tough driving in that kind of traffic and weather.

Got back home and found that the lady living below was standing out... she introduced herself and told me that her house got burglarized. She was living there for 5 years and this was the 1st time something like that happened.

poor ladies computer and few other stuff got stolen. :(

A lady cop came in to check and then left.

I got back home and cooked up an omlet and had it with tortilas... basically chapatis.
