..."Eighteen holes of match play will teach you more about your foe than 18 years of dealing with him across a desk."...

... it worked! ...

... as i am writing this, i feel content about the way this day unfolded and is now crawling into the the darkness... dry and warm and breezy... my 'no-holes-barred' lashing on those who were not following the practices put in place for our project made a good impact... i was feeling a little nervous after the meeting... "i should have shown restrain" and stuff like that... but hey! who is suffering because of that?? if i am responsible for some quanta of work and it involves a big team with members from different functions (a.k.a CFTs) then it is the prerogative of every darn individual to step in and keep every one on the same page or at-least keep *that* one person in loop who is going to answer the whole bloody progress... i was getting sick-and-tired about fire-fighting and clarifying and clarifying again and filling the communication gap...

... neways... there have been more updates on the project's partial status in past 24 hours than there were in past 7 days... i am already feeling good about it! ... apart from it ... i learned a lot in one of the CAD platform we use here... i had to make a design proposal and this [long-phrase] duffer has already proven his in-capability... so i decided to take the initiative and do some CAD work myself... and it was very very humbling... i learned somethings and at the end of the day i was proud of the work done...

... and then there was this one a li'l embarrassing moment... while driving away from my parking, at the end of the day in office, i passed two PYTs who were looking in my direction and before i cud notice (and nod!) i moved away pretty fast and then realized that my Vista was all covered with mud... dried over two days in baking sunshine! ... sheh! ... i felt so... ummm... bad... that i went straight for the car wash... and got it all cleaned...she is so yummyly shining in the streetlight right now! :-D

... and it was my cousin's birthday today as well... and AJA dropped by to say hello... and she smelled good! :-) ...

... and it seems SRW is having a bad weekend! ... :-| ... u take care champ! may ur network card comes to life and u get 'ek botle petrol' as well! ;-)
