Yes. I am on vacation, enjoying my time here. I am SO glad to be out of Dallas right now. Ok I am going to make this short as I need to get on with my trip. I just thought it would be a neat idea to do a photo-log of things that happen here daily. Oh don't worry...you don't have to go thru a slideshow of like a million pictures...Just a collage a day that reflects that particular day's happenings, so to speak.

I'd like to talk about the places I visited, but am too tired to do that now, so will fill that in later.

Happy Holidays y'all. Yes, "Y'All!".

OH HELL YES!!! June 8th Baby!



- I already LOVED the opening Pacino lines and the delivery in the beginning of the preview.
- Ocean's eye-roll to Benedict is classic! Nice!

I now know atleast one thing I have to do next year. LOL.

I have been really busy the last couple of weeks, haven't I?

On the work front, we moved from the first floor to the second floor and it may start out to be a little awkward because downstairs, our team each had their own space/cube. But now that we moved upstairs the 4 of us are sharing a big office, sort of a lab environment. While this is good for being extra productive and for each of us watching the other's back, I also know that there may be times when one gets on the other's nerves. I mean we click so well as a team and we have learnt, and learning so much about each other...I just hope that this does not ruin that. But at the same time maybe this is far-fetched. I really don't know how this will turn out. I guess we'll find out.

Also, the other thing with all of us being in one office is that there's too many PCs. Keith and I use 5 PC's, then we each have a PC of our own, Karla's PC, Jennifer's PC and her Mac. So with all these machines running it really gets hot in that room. We seriously need ventilation. Thinking of wall mounted sleek looking oscillating fans. I still haven't been able to hook up my own PC since the smart asses forgot to install an electrical outlet by my desk, and now I have to hook it up via an extension cord that will I will borrow from Keith's surge. This is insane. One day that room will blow up because of the massive circuit overload.

This weekend was Sabeen's graduation ceremony and it was one busy day. Woke up early and left the house to go to UNT to watch her accept her degree and then hit the road back to Plano to munch at Red Lobster. After that we went to decorate the place, Tupee Tong Thai Restaurant, where the party was held. Oh by the way, Tams and Priti Didi - One of my friends bought Tupee Tong couple of weeks ago and his wife did SUCH an amazing job with the decor. She handpainted all the murals on the walls, slate floors...very intimate setting. Maybe I could post some pictures later. Anyways, so the party was superb. We did away with the usual DJ thing and replaced that with a live Trio Jazz band. This was awesome. They played really good music.

Anyways, that was that. There's pictures in cameras somewhere...maybe will get 'em and post 'em later.

Now I sit here busy with the store. Sales are coming in. The tedious part, but important, thing about the store is that most of my time goes in PR. Its amazing how many questions customers have and I have to be at it as soon as a question is asked. It helps maintain an active communication and for us to be fresh on their minds at all times.

I think that's pretty much it.

One week to New Jersey/PHL/NYC with family. I cannot wait. I just cannot wait.

What a great ending to this week!

It started out with me beating traffic and rushing to work for the past few days since I would wake up late. A lot of fires to put out. Things really keeping me busy and on my toes, well fingers for use of keyboard. Then I think "Why am I so darn busy?"...Then emails like this change everything:

Subject: Sachin is a good man!

Justin, Frank, David -- I wanted you to know that Sachin was a big help to me and mostly to [Dr.Name] this week. [Dr.Name] had called at 5:40 pm on Wednesday and wanted some information from the dashboard which required some involved manipulation of the data and he wanted it right away. He was on his way to his Holiday party and wanted to have some statistics with which he could recognize his physicians’ contributions and successes over the past year.

Not only could I not have done the manipulation of the data, I couldn’t even get on the website. I was lucky enough to have called Sachin who willingly took on the challenge and got [Dr. Name] exactly what he needed. He also had to stay a good bit later than he had planned to after hours to get it done when David needed it. I know this added significantly to the success of the celebration and demonstrated once again to [Dr. Name] that [the company] ‘makes it happen’!

Sachin - Thank you for your commitment and support of our clients! - Bill

Yes, I am happy :)

Myokymia - specifically "Eyelid Myokymia"

Definition of Eyelid myokymia

Eyelid myokymia: Fine continuous contractions of the eyelid muscle, typically involving one of the lower eyelids, less often an upper eyelid. The condition occurs spontaneously, sometimes triggered by stress, fatigue, caffeine or alcohol. In most cases, the condition is benign and ceases of its own accord.

The triggers match my eyelid going all twitched out. I am fatigued, I haven't been able to sleep well in the past week or so, I have about 3 cups of coffee a day and 2 more chai cups before bedtime. I don't know if I am stressed. But there's probably a reason I am not getting enough sleep. So there you have it.

Read more (if you want to) here: Dr. Bryan L. Lam, M.D. on Eyelid Myokymia

Okay, so there it is. You may have noticed the neat wishlist on the sidebar. No more people asking me on the spot "Hey, What do you want for [occassion]?". I just have a blank look and I know I want stuff, but not really sure whether $300 Calvin Klein boots will be a good answer. So I'll just add that here. I just started using this but, as days go by, the list will keep on getting bigger.

Here's the cool thing about this list, by 'TheThingsIWant.Com'. It dynamically feeds your list wherever you have placed it without you having to update it everytime. It also lets you install a bookmark toolbar and whenever you are shopping online and see something you like, simply click on the toolbar, and that item is added to your list. Its that simple.

So, to all the folks out there who REALLY know me should start creating your list, upload it on your blogs/sites, because hours will go by before I know what to get for you...frankly speaking, I am lazy!

Another thing about the list is that you can use one of few css styles to present your list from the site itself, or create your own embedded css file and upload it. I am still working on this one, but it won't be much different than the list already loaded on the screen right now, just a little cleaner maybe.

So keep checking everyday and please...BUY ME STUFF!

Shopping for Me? This won't be too hard. My WishList is coming soon.

My left eye-lid has been twitching for the last few days off and on. Go on..give me some theories.
