Work

So let's see, I think the last time I was complaining about the internet not working properly. Which, by the way, did get fixed but it stopped working again yesterday. This time I'm going to complain of having a roommate! Well it's not so much the roommate himself that's a problem, it's just more frustration. We were told we wouldn't have roommates during our stay in India and that was true until about last week. For some reason I got a roommate here in Chennai. I tried to deal with it with the guy in charge of housing here by myself for a week but that proved pointless. Then finally I e-mailed the HR in the US and they got it resolved for me. It's a little ridiculous that I literally have to get the world involved to solve such an issue. I should have my own room again after today...hopefully. It's just the icing on the big peice of frustration cake I've been tackling since we got here.

Anyways, I did do some shopping this past weekend. I picked up a bunch of Kanchi silk sarees. I heard Chennai was famous for kanchi silk so I decided they'd make good gifts. I went with a friend I had made back in Mysore who happens to live in Chennai and is working here now. She helped a lot because I obviously don't know much about Saris.

Work is still boring, I haven't had much work to do yet so I figured I'd update this old thing. I'm still waiting on my location back in the US, there's a chance I might have to work out of Philadelphia for a little bit. I need to know so I can start looking for apartments online. It's hard to imagine, with what little knowledge I have right now, that two or three weeks from now I'll be back home ready to get an apartment in some city in the United States.

The past week or two have been really frustrating for me so I've been wanting to go home even more. I'd be ok with not seeing whatever is left on my list of things to see in India, I just want to go home! A lot of us share that sentiment.
