I know some of you have questioned, what the hell is going on? (at least LA & Jai). Well, first I fell sick. And another I’ve become pretty busy. In fact busier than I thought. At office, I am into multiple projects:

• CRM – this how I came into this firm
• Finance – new in the plate. It comes with its own problems and process issues. I’m spending time understanding the processes and the product
• DSS – a dashboard for the chief officer. My new boss wants me to get involved as I’ve become ‘dashboard expert’
• Six Sigma Projects – I am a mentor for 2 of the Green Belt projects, which bring in improvement to our department

In addition to these, I’m also reviewing articles that get submitted from our department for the organizational knowledge management repository

As you can see, currently there is more in my plate than I have time for. But this is helping me in one way – I have full concentration on work and my mind doesn’t wander. However, I do feel I’m alienated.

At home too, I’ve been keeping myself busy.

I’ve installed Linux (Ubuntu) and configured most of the tools that I need – chat client, Python, Eclipse and so on.

I’m going to drive home (yes you read it right) this weekend. It is going to be a long 12 hrs drive. This is the first time I am going to drive for such a long time. Let me see how it goes.
