bowling

after being treated to a superb dinner of predominantly red-orange colored (i.e. italian tomato sauce laden) food by generous officemates and friends, my labs and i went to CM to try to work out the extra carbohydrates we have just loaded into our system. work out here means doing some bowling.

and well, i was so happy with my score :) my usual score is a little over a hundred on a good night with the scores dwindling as the night trudges on. tonight was different though :) i easily scored 148 on my 1st game and eventually averaged between 120-130 in almost 5 games. that sure was an accomplishment (for me)! so much so that i wanted to reward myself with a bowling ball :D it was a good thing that no one was manning the bowling accessories corner :)

cheers!

"sir, how long did it take for you to decide?"
18 months...

this was a question i posted to my boss in his farewell dinner party.
yes, after 14 yrs with the company, he has decided to leave.
leave to finally pursue his interests, elsewhere.

like him, i have been contemplating for the longest time now.
i even had the opportunity to finally make that switch but for
a few major reasons, i did not (yet) take the plunge.

for someone like me who values loyalty most of all,
it is in fact very hard to throw 11 long years of trying to
build a company which i had hoped i can say with conviction,
"i helped build that one".

i know sir fred can rightfully say this though.
for your foresight, your far-reaching ideas,
cheers sir fred!
