Just read about how whooping cough has been declared an epidemic in New Zealand and how its spreading fast in US/Canada. 2 minutes later a email from school comes in that a case was identified in their school. Well uggity ugh.

I have a nice problem that I have two candidates to choose from for another role I had open in my team. Both aced their interviews. One candidate is someone I know from my previous job, is junior, and is hungry for a job. Candidate is someone i trust to get shit done, and would be happy to have the opportunity to learn. The second candidate is more experienced, with solid background in the specific domains we are looking at, and comes with an impressive resume. However I feel like this candidate may eventually be unhappy because they were hired at a lower level than they should be, and because the experience is such a good fit, they’d probably have nothing to learn. I know whom I am going for at this point, but I will reveal that later 🙂

India e-visa approved within 48 hours! Multiple entry with 5 years validity and 180 days stay per entry. Wow, that’s surprisingly very very good.

> The Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced on Wednesday that students with family income below $200,000 can expect to attend the Cambridge institution tuition-free starting next fall.

> The bulk of American households meet this income threshold, according to the university, which says the new policy will cover 80% of its incoming classes. Additionally, students whose family income is below $100,000 will see their entire MIT experience paid for, including tuition, housing, dining, fees and an allowance for books and personal expenses.”

I cannot wait for Indian and Asian families to abuse the shit out of this so bad that MIT will reverse this decision soon. Like its guaranteed its gonna happen!

Why can’t Joe Biden just shut the fuck up and finish his term and leave Ukraine alone. Like we really don’t need another war and I sure as fucking hell don’t want American boots anywhere! Time for Europe to step to protect their own – it’s been almost 3 years now they should be prepared.

I am sure you all know Full Cycle Developer, but fuck you I am working with a Full Cycle Recruiter!

My dog loves khakra

Went out to play ball with doggo; froze myself. Its 45 but feels way more chillier. Ugh my most hated phase of the year is coming up quickly.

Things are getting worse at work, not specifically for me but the entire org in general. Gonna be interesting few months and already seeing the pressure bring out the worst in people, starting from the very top with the boss of the org and my manager (not specifically intended *at* me, but his actions have crossed the the border of being concerning).

One thing I feel about kids/teens growing up here is how much as parents we don’t know our kid’s friends. Growing up back home there was hardly anybody my parents did not know by name and considered them as their own. We gave a lot of respect towards all parents and often became a secondary or tertiary child to them. My friend’s parents felt like were equally involved and concerned about my life also it felt like, sometimes to my own annoyance. Contrast that to here – “Oh hi, Mr D” and thats the end of convo. They have absolutely no interest nor can we ever develop any such attachment to these kids. The individualistic culture of this country really makes everything so unattached. Anyway random ramblings at 7am and I am not even sure I am expressing what I wanted to in the right way.
