We were at lunch discussing amazing animals that Kao frequently watches on the Discovery channel - for example, how a cheetah's way to cool down from a massive work out (such as chasing gazelles or rabbits across the serengghetis of africa) will be to pass out and snooze, instead of sweating like us humans do. I wish I had seen that bit of documentary on Discovery as apparently there was a snapshot of what happened to a cheetah who was chasing a rabbit, reached its maximum threshold and zonked out as it it had hit a brick wall. The cheetah woke up as soon as his heart beat reached its normal level, but he was completed out of whack with his surrounding, having no memories of where he was, what he was doing and why he just woke up from a quick nap.

I will miss such random commentaries when Kao leaves. It's unbelievable how many of my coworkers have left, ones that I started out with and ones that I actually enjoy working with. Sometimes, when situations like these happen, I can not help but wonder at my own situation and if I should indeed be reevaluating my circumstances. One of these days, I will need to map out some of my career goals and check off the ones that I have accomplished and ones that I should accomplish within the next 3 years.

In any case, a certain someone irked me quite a bit while on the phone - there is a certain rudeness to this person that reminds me of the reason why things happened the way they were and how irksome it is to be shut down and ridiculed, when all you tried to do was be nice and catch up with a somewhat long lost friend. Now that I know the reception is far less colder, accompanied by resentment, I dont think I will be calling to catch up anymore.

Pretty annoying.

We hired a few interior painters to complete our painting work - will post up some pictures later.
