Redneck country

Been in Alabama for 4 days now. More time spent on meetings to decide what needs to be done than actually doing those things.... Bureaucracy in HUGE companies.... Lots of procedures to do small things.... Angry pushy talk during meetings... politics... quirky bosses... finger pointing... Methinks there is a better way to handle things... live a little

I never have breakfast but Ernie wanted to grab something to eat before starting the day so we decided to meet up in Waffle house.. I reached 10 minutes earlier and spent a considerable amount of time looking over the menu. Waffle house is not a place I would rather go nowadays to get some manna early in the morning. But as a poor grad student I would have dinner there sometimes... And back then I thought that was a treat... :) I would spend a lot of time pondering over the menu and finally order 2 eggs, sunny side up, grits and toast. Not only did I like them but also it was one of the cheapest things on the menu. Besides I would drink lots of coffee which would make me stay up till 4 am.

Things sure do change.

I did use the treadmill yesterday. Wanted to swim desperatly but the water was unbearably cold. Meeting up with Avin and Mrudula this weekend. They got married last december and it would be great meeting both of them after such a long time.
