Quiet weekend

Oh well, it was a quiet weekend. Thanks to the tonsilitis infection.

Boston gave up the soggy gray overcoat it darned thr the chilly winter and cloud-covered spring. This Sunday, for a welcoming change, had temperatures soaring. The bay-state people were obviously happy and it was evident by the numerous roller-bladers, skaters, joggers, sailing boats across the Charles river.

Been reading a lot since morning. There are periods of time when i do read a lot of stuff on varied subjects and then there are extended periods of lull too.

Liked the few following lines quoted by ordinary people:



Watching the Discovery Channel does not make you part of an intellectual élite.

Personally I’m happy as long as I’m not working with idiots and assholes. An asshole, no matter how well qualified on paper, is never the best person for the job



Rolling Stones -



You Can’t Always Get What You Want

I saw her today at the reception

A glass of wine in her hand

I knew she was gonna meet her connection

At her feet was a footloose man

You can’t always get what you want

You can’t always get what you want

You can’t always get what you want

But if you try sometimes well you might find

You get what you need

And I went down to the demonstration

To get my fair share of abuse

Singing, “We’re gonna vent our frustration

If we don’t we’re gonna blow a 50-amp fuse”

You can’t always get what you want

You can’t always get what you want

You can’t always get what you want

But if you try sometimes well you just might find

You get what you need

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore

To get your prescription filled

I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy

And man, did he look pretty ill

We decided that we would have a soda

My favorite flavor, cherry red

I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy

Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was “dead”

I said to him

You can’t always get what you want

You can’t always get what you want

You can’t always get what you want

But if you try sometimes you just might find

You get what you need

You get what you need–yeah, oh baby

I saw her today at the reception

In her glass was a bleeding man

She was practiced at the art of deception

Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can’t always get what you want

You can’t always get what you want

You can’t always get what you want

But if you try sometimes you just might find

You just might find

You get what you need

You can’t always get what you want

You can’t always get what you want

You can’t always get what you want

But if you try sometimes you just might find

You just might find

You get what you need

Did you know that down-sizing can also be called as ‘right-sizing’? Though you are cutting down the task-force, you have identified that as the right number of people for the job to get done. Perception after all, isn’t it?
