World is Small

I wonder which is a good snack for the office. Don't have a full time cafeteria at office. And around 4-5pm I feel like munching on something. So whats the best food for that time, which isnt too heavy/fatty. Do not want to choose something from the vending machine, they are all oily, fried or junk stuff. I keep granola bars at desk, just in case. But at times like today, when I am not that hungry but just want to munch on- what is the best next option? Fruits (needs to bring in morning from home), popcorn ( don't really know how to pop the packets in microwave), some nuts (needs to be really judicious about which is good and which is not), tea (how much and how many times allowable), coke (soda - wants to stay away from them), granola bars (any other option), some tic-tacs and wrigleys (dont like chewing gum at work). Hmm whats the best one to go for.. or just a mix of things? May be keeping a bag of carrots and Apple and other whole fruits is a best idea. Lets see..

Its good that I am enjoying my new and the first job in US. Its a small team, good ppl but busy ppl, so need to find out stuff myself. Need to put in a little more effort to learn things. The technology I will be working on is Video/MPEG etc etc which is really interesting (but i always wanted to keep distance). Wish to get a good grip soon and be on track of contributing things myself. Oh yes, life is going on good. Not at least sitting back at home and do nothing/sleep/browse. Yes its true though that towards the end of each day, i feel exhausted. And this is just my 3rd day at work. I am yet to get my driving license. Good that my office is close by to where i stay, so that not a big trouble for getting a ride. Hope to put up some more info on my tech blog with the things i am studying right now. Wikipedia has really great write-ups on this technical area. And for everything keeping my fingers crossed for the best for my career in US.

At times, I am forced to believe that with the economy going down, the jobs in the software industry are also getting a setback. I have never imagined, it would take this long for me to find a job in the market with my expectation of job profile as well as salary. It isn't that my profile doesn't match, its just that, I see less number of job listing each day. Either there will be no new updates on the job sites, or there would be just a reposting of the older job description. Its very easy to get bored of this job search and very irritating on how slow the market is, both in terms of the no. of openings an the payment options left. Hmm, nevermind coz searching for a job was never supposed to be easy but a sheer luck. If luck is eluding me right now, may be I will have a better luck next time. I am still very positive of getting a break soon.. :)

When I see this blog abandoned I always used to think when am I going to enter a new entry into it, isn't this a very long a hibernation? And why is it that I stopped blogging? But right now while I am writing this, I should not try to reason out the things that happened and fall back into the same trap again. My coming back to blogging is because of the inspiration that I got from my husband. He kept saying since he read thru my blog approx a year and more back that why I stopped writing and why should I be sitting idle than writing on something to keep me busy. Thank you hubby ji. Life has changed in these 2years and certainly going for the better tomorrow. And I am thankful for everyone out there for me, wishing me good luck. Am currently on a foreign land trying to make new friends and trying to learn new things.
