After a real long time

Today was going to be a hectic day. But luckily it wasn’t. Last evening when I finished CMAS LoanIQ audit, I realized that lots of binning was not so good. But I was happy to as it was for the first time I was performing Audit independently. Mani was not leave. This Audit is too good. I haven’t received any feedback/comment on Audits I had done in last two days. Damien and we were too busy to waste time on this. He was assigning new work as we were proceeding with the tasks. I corrected the Audit. For correction I took a bit of time as even one variable is not so properly audited, whole audit has to be run oven again. Not really a painful thing but why to have iteration. I already had enough of iteration and now know how to capture variables properly.

Just at 12:15 we get a mail about status meeting to be held on November 9^th. I immediately replied to Damien letting him know about it. He immediately posted a meeting request for 12:45. Well, no one had his home number and around 15 minutes were spent locating his number. I asked Mani about the mails to be replied to Rong and Eddie, so that he has loan and vector “scored” file for audit ready when he comes back to office on Monday. Now I have a big job: Population Report. I have never seen and worked on it. All I know that Mani uses an Excel file for report. With lot of limping I finished the performance report. It took me triple time then I had expected for myself. Mainly due to COLUMN Names having spaces in it. It already delayed the audit and also the population report. It is good that I’m seeing a tough time. It will make me good.

Rajendra, whom I had requested to change weird of storing date to perfect one, wanted to leave and he had not completed what I was looking for but had almost solved the pain. It took me just 30 minutes to workaround the numeric dates to be perfect in chart. There are lots of problems when we show month in a Pivot chart. One can play around with its format in Report but in chart it is painful and if I get text in chart, sorting is jumbled up. Hats off to Rajendra for helping out in this time. He has also created some more pivot reports and chart which are eye candy. Even the people in PartyGaming PLC could not make such graph.

Now I have huge task for playing around with SAS® dates. I have to map lots of fields to a source file based on some criteria, but SAS dates conversion is a tricky thing. I could not do it w/o some guidance; at least for the first time also there were SQL included in this. I am still not well versed with hand writing SQLs, though I’m too good in troubleshooting it. I decide to send a mail with status and leave, even though that was just 4:15. BTW, whole floor was empty by lunch.

I come home by 5:00. Had to rinse cloths for a week, they were lying in bucket without any attention. It had started generating a characteristic bad odor. It happens if let your cloth soaked for 7 + days. I decide to do it after cleaning the home. Took me around half and hour to do it. I stay alone in a 3 BHK (1600 sq feet) flat. I rinse the cloths but don’t let it hang for drying. I consider letting cloth dry in night a bad omen. So not room but the bathroom where cloth were lying had that smell, though its intensity was not so worse.

On even of Diwali, I must eat something good. I was bored of eating in US chain restraints. So I decide to ride 7 km to go to a Vada pao shop. I was not hungry so I didn’t find Vada-pao really good. I had a Grill Sandwich too. This shop in Indira Nagar (Mumbai Masti) serves ethnic Mumbai Vada Pao. I like it a lot. Had a stomach full of junk food.

I used to write my blogs locally and intended to publish them when having got internet connection, but I lost all those blogs in a HDD crash. But In brief, I have started working for a Mortgage Analytics company. I’ve just completed 3 months over here. I have finished more than 3 years on MicroStrategy now. Mervyn, whom I consider my best friend, has got married now. Randolf’s dad, who is a real noble soul, had gone into coma and after having recovered had lost his 15 years memory. Miraculously he has completely recovered. I think God for this. Telis uncle is the most harmless (world is rude) I have met in life. My nephew Utkarsh has started talking a lot and can talk non stop. I subscribed to LinkedIn, my only subscription in last 7 years after Google. I’m too much concerned about online privacy. I know Google is the Privacy beast. I’ve rented a flat close to office. I’ve got all things here including a DTH connection. My marriage plans are in full swing. Parents are seeking all proposals very seriously. He won’t get time for me, but these people he has lots of time. I just hate it. Last but not least. I feel my father loved his grandchildren (my nephews and nieces) more than me and I just feel damn damn jealous. I have first right of their love and affection. He had gone to planetarium with them, where I could go only because of school trip.
