Could’ve been 5 years
September 11, 2006Today is the 5th year anniversary of the 9.11 WTC bombing. Short silence to remember those who were part of that day - people who perished, survived, missed, or whatever.
Today marks my 5th year (and one day - unofficial orientation day didn't count.) anniversary as one of the many corporate slaves. Could've been 5 years there, could have that 5 year separation pay, could've gotten one of those wristwatches for the "loyalty" awardees.
Someone asked if there were any regrets, coz my YM stat for the day was "Could've been 5 yrs". (Do I smell a rat?). My answer - no regrets. I have lived a quarter century past learning, and succeding in living life without that word. But wishful thinking - yep there were lots. I was thinking - what would I be doing on my 5th year anniversary? Probably following up testing, and supporting the friendly users around. Miss them? Oh yeah. Kat mentioned I probably got sick because I wasn't doing anything. Probably. I miss my friends, my colleagues (those classified as persons not people - yes, there's a difference just like a house and a home….) and my work.
bored
September 5, 2006From where I sat on the 14th floor of the building enjoying my coffee, I looked at the busy street below. The way people went by the streets make them like small lego toys moving about. There were cars and people zigzaging the straight lines. Ants. I wonder, how many of them were worker ants, soldier ants and so on.
I really am getting bored. I have to notice stuff like these. Sigh.
mischarmed in the city
September 4, 2006I know that I haven't been blogging much, and you'll have to excuse me for that. It takes time to adjust to a different place. I have moved from my comfort zone of almost 5 years, and was thrown in the city. The city was and is still a wildnerness for me.
What's up with me?
