I hate head colds!
I am sick at home since yesterday. I have a nasty head cold. Sinuses are congested. I feel like my head is covered in three layers of bubble wrap!!!
Oh and I had a drug reaction Monday night. I took Tylenol Cold before I went to bed and sometime in the night, I took Nyquil. I was in for a treat after that. I woke up every 30 minutes to puke green. It was horrible, horrible, horrible!!!
So, here I am sitting at home, trying to get some work done. How did I fall sick? It is probably from my co-workers who don't have the common sense to stay at home, no, they come to work, coughing and hacking and make the rest of us sick!!!!
Please, please stay at home when you are sick. No point in sharing the germs with your fellow workers.
Be back tomorrow with a better post, I hope.

To new opportunities
I started the year off by asking my current manager to let me switch groups to a brand new group being formed. I am currently a Product Quality Assurance Test Engineer, simply put, a System Test Engineer.
The new group is called Development Integration Group. The scope is to work more closely with design team and make sure all the sub-systems work together flawlessly. It is still testing, but the focus is different. And it is a brand new concept in the company.
My current manager and Team Lead were not too happy to let go off me, but they had no choice, since this is my career. I make the switch first week of March. I am really looking forward to this change. I was bored of my current work. Same old stuff, day in, day out.
I hope this new opportunity brings me the change I am looking for.
Wish me luck!

Let it Snow...
I woke up this morning to a beautiful sight. Snow!!! Yes, we have snow. It is just 1 inch of accumulation. But, its amazing. White on the trees, white on the rooftops, white on the roads. I just love it!!!
Now, we just need one good snow storm. Maybe 6 inches, on a Thursday evening, so that Friday no work, and then it is the weekend. I hope the person incharge of Snow is reading this blog :)
My older one is just craving to go out there and make a snowman. Come on, let it snow, let it snow......let it snow!

    Jack Frost - Please listen to the kids. They want snow...you give them snow...no questions asked.

    I wish we had more snow here in Big D. All we got was drizzle and mist and gray clouds consistently for 4 days in a row.

Happy New Year
2006 is gone and 2007 is here.

Is it me or did the year just fly by? Lot happened in the past year. My little baby, turned 2 in December. My older one is almost 5. I was in Dubai and came back. Saddam was finally executed for his crimes. TomKat got married. They had a baby. Angelina and Brad had a baby. And most importantly, the long-awaited family reunion happened in December. I started planning for my family to be here in January 2006. All that excitement, build-up, looking for flight deals, everything, all over in 10 days.

I had a great time with my family here. Just relaxed, ate a lot, went to a lot of places, generally had a great time. But it was over too soon. I wish it could have lasted a bit longer. But, isn't this how vacations always are? Good times end too soon. (T, P and S, I know you are reading this. We have make this an annual event, doesn't have to be December, any time of the year is fine).

I made a few New Year resolutions and hopefully can keep up with them:
1. Work out regularly.
2. Eat healthy.
3. Blog more often (see this post shows I am working toward this :)
4. Don't fret over the little things in life.

I should be able to manage these, I hope ;)

    Hey I agree. Vegas maybe? :) Or realistically, Minnesota on Memorial Weekend. Let's all start talking abt this.

    My resolution this year is probably to be more adventurous; and travelling is part of it. So let's do this :)

    Minnesota on memorial weekend sounds good. we need to start planning now. I think vegas is out for us due to the cost of the going home trip that's coming.

    I'll keep you guys posted if things change though
