song of the road

Sorry to be MIA. I was missing you guys.

Less than 3 weeks to go before I leave this company. I am feeling a mixture of emotions. I am sad. I had a lot of fun here. Also lot of anger. One is the thought that R is going scot-free. I am yet to shake off the feeling that he should get punished. Also the fact that I ruined a good amount of my professional reputation due to all this. I wish I could have been a better memory for the folks here. I had very successfully and practically single-handedly run the company newsletter. That should count for something.

Meanwhile something lucky happened. I got selected by a company to train their developers for 5 days which is freelance work. I would be paid roughly one-third of my regular monthly pay check. I am so happy and excited. I am working on course materials, handouts and assignments. This is bonus money and will help during my unemployment stint. Also in some ways, I love teaching. Then to free up time for the teaching stint, I am working harder at work too. Also knowledge transfer going there too. All in all satisfying time in many ways.

Slowly the wrapping up of affairs is happening. Bro and T have started looking for a new apartments. T’s elder sis and bro-in-law are too coming down to Bombay at roughly the same time. Mom and I were mildly scared of interference from them. However not bothering any more. We will see how it goes. My brother is doing very well in his job. That is very very good and satisfying for all us. It is only now that he is getting to implement his ideas and the company is backing him too. He had to hang in for very long before this good opportunity.

Well, not much else is up. Weight loss is completely in back burner. Except for fruits, not much good eating either. I am trying to read Lean Uris’ Exodus and Haj. Also reading Margaret Atwood’s “Robber Bride”. Taking some time over it. By the way, I read a couple of novels by Maeve Binchy. Loved those. Watching movies is going slow.

I need to stay awake for some more time for my client in Salt Lake City, Utah to pick up my phone. So long ladies. Love you so much.
