i haven't blogged about it but i've been in bangalore for a week and a half for work. this time tomorrow i'll be flying back to the us. it's not that nothing worthwhile has happened, i just haven't been blogging much except to mention boobs or how shitty sanjaya malakar is. how would you like to be the one on national tv week after week, everyone thinks you suck but thinks your sister at hooters has a great rack? she didn't make the hollywood cut but her twins did.
i woke up at 3am thinking about supportworks, one of the applications i'm enabling at our bangalore delivery center. i start looking around for my cell phone and it's nowhere to be found. i email a message to it hoping to hear a beep. i im'd telly to call it. he says it's ringing on his end but i don't hear a damn thing. crap.
last time i had it was on the cab ride on the way back from the office to the hotel. it was a tiny car so i took a nap with hunched down in the seat with my knees propped up against the seat back in front of me. it must've fallen out as the pants i wore has shallow pockets. i think this is where panic would normally have settled in but it really didn't. i was a little disappointed but not too stressed out. it's just a phone, right?
luckily the cabbie gave me his business card, as they all do, but i didn't throw it away, as i normally do. i put on my clothes and head to the front desk and ask him to call the cabbie. he tells me his cell phone is ringing but no answer. there are a few cabs parked out front and i can see a faint light coming from the back seat of one of them but i don't think anything of it. the guy at the hotel starts barking into the phone, turns out he did pick up and he's close by. when i ask how close he was, he points to the parked car where the light came from. the cabbie was sleeping in his back seat, which isn't unusual out here. i walked over to him and said hello, i guess i caught him putting his pants on. he gets into his car, unlocks his glove box and holds up a phone and asks if that's it. hot damn! how you like them apples? i owe him a big tip. i've got one round trip to/from the office and a one way to the airport left with his name on it.
i need to back up the numbers from my phone and erase some photos.
