2010/09/13 It's Monday, school day

Woke up today with a heavy head and reddened eyes. Stopped the alarm and turned to the other side and then suddenly came into mind.. "It's monday.. go to school!" It's been long years since left the school.. but Monday mornings are still a nightmare. I had a feel of dryness in my eyes from yesterday evening and had put some ice. But, apparently it didn't work. As I said earlier, the office was small, cool and at a walkable distance. I found Victor, my boss over here. He introduced me to Shekar and Alex Paena who are the current SMEs of the product I was going to learn. All guys are good and really really extroverts. Richard, who is basically from Hongkong, was kind enough to offer me to take out for picking up some Kingston jerk and Strawberry cream smoothie for lunch. Office was utter silent during work. I didn't find anyone hanging out near the break-out-area (they rather call it kitchen) for more than a few seconds. Training, discussions and casual talks went until 5pm when all got ready with their bags to wind up for the day and started gathering at corners for sharing jokes. Shekar took me to a grocery store where I picked up some Tortillas (similar to Indian Chapathis) and Jaipur Vegetable curry. Back to room. Alex had actually suggested a couple of beaches in a drivable distance - Swamy's beach, Seal's beah etc - for shooting sunset, surfing and seals etc. But, my eyes are in a bad shape now and I don't think I would be able to make it for two or three days at least. A colleague has given me an eye drops from India. I would use it and try to get some rest. If it is not getting better by morning would have to go and meet a doc. It seems, for consultation one should have insurance. I need to check out the documents from the company to find my insurance vendor.

  3. Hi Rajani,Welcome to US! How are you doing? Your writing is excellent! Good job keep it up. This can be use as a "reference" to new comers.

    By the way, How's your eyes ? It's not a wise idea to consult a doctor when u have no insurance (sorry sreeja! dont think i am cruel). You will get over the counter eye drops (which doesnt need prescriptions) from pharmacy for this. There is a walgreens nearby (1989 Palomar Oaks Way # A, ). Go there and get one eye drop, which costs u less than 10$. you dont even need to see the pharmacist.
