Hello there again! So after a couple of days of no rain, we are back to a slightly wet weather today here in the NW...me sitting at my desk trying to entertain myself with all the random blogs that come up and i even commented on a few good ones...

The last couple of days I was suffering from a writer's block...but today, I had a few things to say...Ofcourse all I have to say is about the guy I have a huge crush on...older white guy (almost 17 yrs older than me!!)....really witty with sharp eyes...i have had this crush for a couple of months now and am trying hard to get over it, but doesnt work...I was up and at it with my usual activities this morning -got to work, had my customary coffee and toast sometime around 7:00am (yes I have to get to work around 6:30! I get hungry by 7:00!) and then I just had some things to take care of and I was busy getting my work done when "the guy" came by my desk and said "How are you doing today!" I almost choked and was about to get sick....I didnt know he was going to come by!!! He works in Support Services in a different bldg...So I usually dont see him around here...Had I known he would come by, I would have taken some time to dress up...! I looked like a drab today! How awful!!! But, he didnt seem to notice...He looked like hell himself :-)I think he was ill and about to pass out so I kept the focus on that...

We chatted a bit and then he had to take off...but I was glad to experience that bitter sweet pain today again...right in the middle of my ribs...Gosh it hurts...!I felt like I was playing the role of Laura Linney as Sarah in Love Actually who looks at Karl everyday...if you have seen the movie, you will know what I am talking about...Can look but cant have :(

Day 1 Blog 2~

So while my cousin and I mail each other back and forth, I am sitting around for some work to fall on my lap in this male dominated aging aerospace company....dont want to mention names cos they all know I blog here...Usually it is a thing or two they would like for me to do coupled with one or two inane meetings...but today has not been fun at all...I am blogging away and no one seems to care!

So this has been my condition since Aug 5th 2005- no real work...I thought wow this is a good break from the phone ringing off the hook and mails clogging my inbox as it was in my previous job, but gosh 3 months of inertia! I am done with this shit!

Its like they hired me to watch the ceiling change colour from a pure white to a moderately light yellow...I cannot sit around and surf the internet any longer...Although I dont think I will quit until they officially lay me off which is bound to happen in a few years...till then, I am working on producing my best written work ever, I am aiming for Pulitzer but can settle for whatever I get...has to come close to Pulitzer though!

Day 1~

It feels great not being a SW engineer in this part of the world....No I am not from Bangalore, neither am I from California...I am from the terre de pluie (land of rain)....I didn't think I would remember the word in French for rain....anyway, my friend teased me by starting her blog with the subject of my unborn baby yesterday. I am not pregnant yet, but I am already thinking about names... So she thinks Tanishka sounds like Kanishka (the Indian restaurant in Redmond) and Arumbika would fail miserably when everyone tries to pronounce it...so suggested I continue looking for names...i dont know if I will or not, but I am going to think about that a little more...but that tempted me to get started on the blog...

I cant even write emails without a writers block so blogs are a bit of a stretch for me....i have pondered about doing this for almost a year but never took the step forward...then yesterday I said to myself "what the heck!" I can just get away easily by uttering a word or two on a daily basis on this one...I dont have to yak all the time, so just as well! thats it for now at this early hour on a Monday morning...more later...
