Friday ..and Weekend

Friday ...came early to office today, we had to decommission a peoplesoft server, this particular server was used by the 2 outsourced teams, i was taking backup of the database, and this took a long time as the size of the db was enormous and the server was also very slow..there were usual routine mails for providing access to VSS, database server, my senior was doing most of these works...my department head called me for a discussion around 12 noon ...nothing useful came from that discussion


afternoon me,subbu and jegu went to a hotel near sweetland and somehow managed to bring the bill to 200 ..you get a free chicken wings served when your bill reaches that amount..all dishes were very ordinary...



..it is getting damn boring for me now..i went around few desks asking people if they can give me some work (didn't ask this to my senior and manager ..hee hee)..subbu was doing some research on calling webservice from sql server and i was helping him...but i couldn't understand anything in that..then i saw one of my colleague and dear friend doing Db design ..so i sat with her and forced her to teach me what is DB design all about.. she taught me in a way.. in which i can understand very little...evening a developer came for creating a new interface job between two application, pity he didn't come with release checklist or installation plan ...so we told him to come with that..went home a bit early today and was watching cricket match...

Sachin was hitting all over the ground ..whenever SA bowlers bowled him short balls he pulled them ferociously ....it was a great sight to watch ...after few hiccups india won the match...i made myself noodles tonight and slept a bit early ....very strange for a Friday night ...definitely this Friday night was not our regular boys night ..


Saturday ....had cornflakes a mix of choclate and regular corn for breakfast ..then spent my time watching TV and checking office document...afternoon, didnt feel like going out for lunch and i prepared noodles. As i was getting into a deep sleep in the afternoon ..i got a call from my friend and grrr...didn't sleep after that ...evening subbu and jegu came to my home ..subbu was to do a project for one of his Friend from my home ...after few discussions as requirements was not very clear ..he didn't do the project and he slept in my house....today nobody had any mood to go out or party and everybody left early by 7pm ...... i was feeling a sour throat...dinner.. had hot and sour chicken soup and briyani in a decent hotel near my place ..watched a movie called Platoon and then slept late ....

Sunday ...went to church service..today i went to the altar and gave thanksgiving for the promotion i got ....my parents had asked me to do this and i personally have a strong belief that it was God's blessing that i had performed well in my current job..had breakfast in a roadside shop. i had a lot of cleaning to do in my house this weekend ..gosh ..house looked great after all the cleaning ..of course my servant maid did it ..i am very conscious to keep my house clean.

i have got strict order from my mother to cook my own rice today ....so i cooked rice, egg, vadagam and had lunch ...Voila ...my first attempt in cooking rice came well ... afternoon i was into deep sleep .. ..evening boring... boring...boring ...so i decided to do go shopping ...went to office as i had my gift coupon left at my desk ...reached office around 7.30 ...then i remembered today was sachin's birthday ..had a nice chat with him over phone and i was doing some work related to decommissioning of the server

...i called jegu as he had called me earlier for an issue ..and we both were looking into that issue....now he is in a kind of crisis situation..he just discovered that one of his implementation in recent days got escalated right to top level..just to a level below our CEO ....so there was lot of phone calls between him his TL and our department head ....at last issue was resolved and i helped him send a mail ..that mail was again marked to top level people ...even i had never sent mails till that level ....but our boss asked us to send it so no issues ...

already late for shopping so we had dinner near our office and went home .....back to home by 9.30 pm, watched cricket match ..and slept late around 1.00 am ...
