Back to Chennai

Well, I have arrived safely and soundly back to Chennai. The heat hit me full force (even though it was only 3:30 AM) the minute I stepped off the plane. Aaah...welcome back. :) It quickly reminded me why I wanted to spend May back in the US instead of April, but oh well... :)

As I said, I landed early Monday morning and managed to head back to work Monday night. Luckily I had planned for a friend of mine to pick me up for work, for when I got to work, I FOUND OUT I HAD BEEN DEACTIVATED IN ALL OF THE SYSTEMS. This means no cabs, no computer log on, no way to mark my attendence. *Sigh* And I specifically remember asking, "Do I need to worry about marking anything while I am gone?" to which the reply was a firm "No." Lovely. Of course, to get re-activated I need HR approval. Guess what? Monday is a support staff (including HR) holiday. Is anything ever easy with this company???

Why am I here at work again? :) Anyway, after a lot of yelling and complaining-DIVA mode is back-I was finally able to log on to the computer at least. And a week later I was able to get a cab. Now all I have to do is get my attendance fixed so I don't loose any pay....hmmmm....still a bit worried about that....
