Last few days of the year.....a heady mix

Hi all,

Having a mixed final few days of 2004. If it was the fun-filled trip to Nandi hills on Sunday with my friends, then ended on a disappointing note following the news of the Tragic Tsunami.

Never realised that the devastation wud be so bad. Anyways, looking forward to the days ahead and hoping for better ones.

One of my friends is still missing and people are trying to trace him in Chennai. Hoping to hear something good from him sooner.

Another news from the mixed bag of good/bad news for this week has been that I wud have some work. I ve been assigned to take care of the Outlook issues until the project stabilizes. Looking forward to it, in the days to come. Hoping that the New Year will be good

that is it for now guys.

Cheers
Naveen

Way to go start a blog

Hi all,

Read a few blogs on the net and a few more from my very own, beloved Mavs.

I chose the name of the blogspot to coincide with what people in CVG relate me to. I see "harish "Straight as an arrow" (Pheno)Menon, smiling there.

This has made me feel that blogging( or is there any other word for that) is indeed a good way of killing time. I have no other useful work.

I used a punch line " Train Station - where trains stop; Bus Station - Where buses stop; I have a work station at office", when I was at CVG. I was using it there for sarcasm more than anything else.

That punchline seems to make so much sense here in my new office. One more week gone and still no sight of the project making a start.

Chilling out in my new office, with practically no work. Going to office, and coming back home, with no real useful work to account for(discounting the million times that I check mails during that time), is really getting to my nerves.

From Night to pure dayshifts, from tremedous work pressure to absolutly Zero work. From midweek offs to practically perfect weekends......from strictly 30 minutes dinner breaks to 60-80 minutes lunch hrs, there had been a 180 degree turnaround.

The real picture will emerge once the project starts.

Gud, bad and ugly happened today

The gud part first. Let me come in order.
Christmas day started off well, with good wishes all over.

The bad part: Compulsion to come to office. It is really wierd that I am working (or not) on holidays. Comp offs are not a problem as I get them I advance.......I shud rather call it a comp. work. they let u take the leave and then ask u to work on a holiday.


The ugly part of the day came from CVG. Misfortune is following me........following me to my new office as well.

Good luck to my mates back in CVG, and better luck next time to me. The only thing that I am praying for, right now is for that misfortune to not be in my process.

Anyways......that is from me in my first post........I hope to improve on my blogging skills as I go further along.

Till the next post,

Bye
