Weekly update - I know you were waiting!
Looks like I am officially color blind now! Isn't what you call people who buy blue stockings thinking its black? Worse, they don't see it, until they put it on with a black skirt and shoes and go to work.
So men like to talk about shoes and watches too. Really! I served as an amused audience this morning to an hour long (well almost) conversation about which watch looks good on whose wrist and why. And don't forget the talk about prices and designers.
Question: Shirt, straight plaid woolen skirt, tights and boots - why do I feel that I am looking like a school girl? Is this my fear of aging? OMG! Some one said it looked hot ;) but I am not too good at sensing sarcasm.
Something that's common between all the human beings - we all commit mistakes, most of us regret and some of us just forget 'em with time and repeat 'em! Which category do you fall in?
8 glasses of water a day = 800 trips to the bathroom!
Story of the week:
What do you call people who have the keys, and still get locked out of their house? Why do I ask you say. Cz that's what my name will be after what happened last night. After trying hard, walking around in the cold trying to find out what to do, I finally caught hold of a stranger in the laundry room and asked for help. Obviously it was hard to find a human soul on the road when it was 30F (which by the way is -1C) outside!
Why did I not 'call' for help? I would if I had my phone on me. I forgot it at work! Yes! I survived more than twelve hours without any modeof technical communication (Is that even a term?)

What a week, what a day!
I started my day an hour late today. Obviously everyone can tell cz it's a bad hair day - On a Thursday, I am dressed like it's Friday. Skipped breakfast. Not a good feeling! And to top it all, the minute I entered my office, my boss asked me to attend a day-long training. Another training = more expectation! And what's not fun is that I have no background of what the training is about. But the good thing is that we got barbecue for lunch from Rib Cribs. Which obviously called for another shot of coffee dark as tar – and I absolutely don’t mind that.
You don't love me anymore - I am saying this cz I noticed a sudden drop in the number of e-mails I get in my personal inbox. All I get is the subscribed e-mails. Why don't you send me a note sometime :-) I still love you; I just don't have internet connection at home. But if you e-mail me, I promise I will reply to it as soon as I can.
This is the second time I have lost my blog draft (final draft) just cz I wasn't smart enough to save it. It is pretty darn annoying! Why do I even use Notepad to draft my blogs? And while I write this, what do I see? I am using notepad again. Wait let me switch to MS Word. OK. So when I say notepad, I am not talking about the old plain notepad; instead, I am talking about notepad++. Which is pretty cool. You can paste your plain text and it formats the test in your chosen language (programming language that is, like java, C, C++, C#, VB, XML or any other language you can think of). I just use the plain text setting for blogs. Plus of doing this is that there is no carry over formatting to the blogger. You will know what I am talking about if you try pasting something from word to blogger.
Did I mention about this hilarious e-mail that I sent to a client? I wrote (text changed):
‘Hey Paul,
I can’t reproduce the problem on our domain. We might have to come up with a work around. I fyou want, call me and we can discuss this.
Thanks,
Sowm’
This is what happens when you don’t proof your e-mails. I didn’t realize this until a coworker pointed this out. ALWAYS double check your e-mails, before you hit the send button.
This Sunday, I watched ‘London Dreams’ – ridiculously ridiculous rubbish! Anyways, so in the theater bathroom, I met with an accident (actually my phone did). It slipped from my hand, fell on the rim of the commode, and broke in three pieces – front, battery and the back cover. The front part fell on the ground and the battery and the back cover went down the flush right in front of my eyes. Now you know why I use a cheap phone. Good thing, I had an extra phone at home :-)
Can’t wait for this day/week to get over!
