31 Mar

and then the other shoe fell

I just got an email from a friend of mine. My ex girl friend is getting married on May 29. I knew this day was going to come at some point in time, just didnt know it would be so soon. All it took were 7 lousy words to throw me back into the pits [...]

A Silver Lining

I got this email yesterday. Kind off lifted my spirits up. Maybe I am not as useless as I think I am.

29 Mar

For the last few mins I have been thinking about what I would do I quit now. I realized I have no real skills. No one is going to give me a job. Afterall who would want to employ a failure? I am going to die as an annonymous stranger on the sidewalk on a [...]

My Waterloo?

I don’t think my device works. I am not sure about that. At this point I am not sure about anything.
I have another set of devices that will be ready on Wednesday. If they don’t work either, its back to the drawing board for me.
All I know is that I have spent the last 9 [...]

Saved my ass… Just barely

I couldn’t get my new devices fabricated in time. I hacked into the old ones, concocted up a really bizarre mirror, prism, and lens assembly, attached it to the microscope, and now I have the ability to image anything off normal to the surface of the scope. You would think that after working on this [...]

Reunion Report

Well the reunion dinner was not as fun as I expected it to be, but it wasnt blah either. Everyone there other than me had actual jobs and were practically talking in an alien language. May be I was not expecting them to have moved on so much. Anyways, no biggie. It was fun nonetheless.

High School Reunion

I am meeting a bunch of my high school friends over dinner today. I havent seen them since 1997. It should be fun. What is the probability that all of us end up in the same city half way across the world at the same time? I am really excited. More on this after the [...]

Is that light at the end of the tunnel or is that a train’s headlight?

I finally found someone to train me on the new machine at 3.30 PM today. Ok. Now I atleast have a non-zero probability of sucessfully fabricating a new set of devices. Small probability, but non zero. I am happy.I did a bit of fiddling around with the device I have right now to see if [...]

And it gets worse

Ok. I just learnt that the facility manager is on a vacation till Friday afternoon. I have emailed two other co-managers to see if they can help me out. I am too tired/frustrated to type anymore. Just wanted to say “screw you” to the entire world. Now that I have, I can go sleep in [...]
