The new H1b lottery system based on salary is actually not a bad system at all, and perhaps even be the smartest thing they could’ve done to curb the H1b abuse problem. Of course desi body shops will find a way around that also, but at least the spirit is right?

Told my manager today who was very supportive of the move, which I appreciated. Told my team later who as I had guessed were quite gutted. Even if I say so myself, I was rather popular as a manager not just within my team, but within the org as well. I am gonna have to do detailed 1:1s with each of my team mates to make them feel better about it. It’s always the people that matters at end of the day.
I can’t deny that I am nervous and anxious about telling my manager I want to quit. Not because of my manager but fears of what ifs. 3 years changes so many things mentally – might write this out in derail in next couple of weeks.
My biggest accomplishment of today is that I finally finished a home improvement project that I had promised A 3 years ago. When our first floor renovation was done, the guys left all our ceiling recess lights at daylight white while we wanted them warm. It only took me 3 years do this 1 hour task :D.
A part of what makes Stranger Things so much fun is the collective nostalgia we 80s kids had, no matter which part of the world we grew up in – of unbridled freedom and staying out and doing random things as long as we could. Sure the settings are different, but my childhood in late 80s early 90s was no different – staying out all day, riding on cycles everywhere and coming home only after dark. Parents really didn’t give a shit – it’s funny to see how my teen does not relate to any of that and constantly asks us how could this be possible. And I am like yep, the world was much more nicer without the Internet.
I doodle and draw abstract crap a lot. It’s a way for me to regulate my brain. I am no artist, but doodling nonsense has a way of calming me like nothing else. For fun sake I asked Gemini to analyze my doodles and my god it goes off on a tangent only. Boss my thoughts and art are not as complex as Gemini wants me to believe it is. Like kuch bhi!
While I did not take any vacation, literally everyone was out at work which basically made my whole week a nice break too. Especially digging these stats of last week – much needed and I feel rested and refreshed!
After all these years I finally seem to be getting a hang of rowing. Well better than before. I am tempted to buy a water rower from Facebook marketplace.
The reason Wii is out is I guess genz has a new found love of nostalgia? Last time we had a party at ours the teens took out the Wii, connected it to tv and enjoyed themselves for hours! And now my kid is like we are going to make a regular thing in our get together. Everything old is coming back!
Spent the evening playing wii with fam. I really feel Nintendo missed a best by not developing the original Wii further. The switch is no compromise to playing tennis with Wii sports – that feeling of fun using true nunchuck and controller still exists.
