A few more notes
May. 24th, 2010 05:45 amIt never ceases to amaze me how fluidly these people weave languages together. It is very odd to be able to understand about half of a conversation because that half of the words are in a language you understand and the other half isn't. Getting along fine with everyone here. I guess I shouldn't be surprised with how many of these people come with close ties to the US.
Akshaya and I get along really well. It has been a long time since I've liked someone so much so quickly. I wish I could facilitate more face to face interaction between the people here and the people at home. It is much harder to ignore an e-mail from someone you know, I find, when they're asking you to do work. Especially someone who jokes around the office place like you do.
That said, there is a lot more talking and conversation here on the average day than there is at home. I was told that today was a quiet day, too. I think that might drive me batty but then again, there seems to be a greater sense of work community and knowledge sharing here.
Unrelated note: I have heard both the Scooby Doo theme and the Popeye theme as cell phone rings today.
I also have a present (of doom) for Holly. Not sari related. (But doom related, yes, yes.)
