Happy Thanksgiving!

No work tonight yet why am I here in the office? I dunno. I don't have anything to do at home [as expected] and the cable shows failed to amaze me so I thought maybe I could use this time to do some work research. I watched Must Love Dogs however I've seen it a lot of times so I wasn't so interested. I wanted to sleep instead 'coz the exhaustion of *toot* got the best of me but the voices of gays videoke-ing downstairs was too loud... Today's not my day.. So here I am, alone.. listening to Freestyle Live while waiting for Van.

Found this f*ckin' video and all I can say to this gal is: "Get a life! And don't ride on with Pearl's popularity!" Lame excuse to be noticed. Ugh! Van and Sergs are here but we won't be here for long anyway 'coz we'll have a meeting tomorrow at 11am so we need to rest. Later!



In addition to this entry.. Found another old email. I'm not posting this to insult people from India 'coz I have friends from Covad [Hyderabad, India] and I dunno if these were actually true. I just thought it's a good way of letting people know the importance of not only being proficient in English verbally but in writing as well. On the other hand, the video below shows the opposite. Enjoy!

This is a collection of leave letters and applications written by people in various places of India.

1. Infosys, Bangalore : An employee applied for leave as follows:
"Since I have to go to my village to sell my land along with my wife, please sanction me one-week leave."

2. This is from Oracle Bangalore : >From an employee who was performing the "mundan" ceremony of his 10 year old son:
"As I want to shave my son's head, please leave me for two days.."

3. Another gem from CDAC. Leave-letter from an employee who was performing his daughter's wedding:
"As I am marrying my daughter, please grant a week's leave.."

4. From H.A.L. Administration dept:

5. Another employee applied for half day leave as follows:

6. An incident of a leave letter
