Official Information

Its official! I have confirmation from my Mentor and my HR that i will be taking a plane back home anytime between the 18th-25th of August. This pretty much means that i can book my flight depending when i want to leave during that week... which in turn means i will be booking my flight for the 18th of August at 12:01 am.

With that said, i have not requested a booking yet because i want to see if i can leave earlier and use my leave days so i can go travel around Europe and maybe still India. I'm 99% sure that my flight back will be a connecting flight, so i will see if i can get my connecting flight pushed back a few days while i travel.

As far as my project goes, Bill and I have held to our promise and displayed a working version of our E-commerce site with all the functional deliverable that we have agreed on with our PM. He was very impressed with our work and gave us individual feedback as well after the group feedback. Only positives were spoken and the communication was briefly touched upon. He requested that we give him our work for him to post it on a server and in turn use our project as a model for future trainees. Its always great to hear something like that. Today we have been documenting our work so that when we give it to him later today, he will have everything he needs. I'm actually at work right now.. done with my part of the documentation and just doing a bit of e-gloating i guess you can say.

Today we met with our PM's boss and he also gave us some feedback on what he has heard from my PM.. you still with me? And pretty much told us what will be in store for us in the future. He said the account managers in Bridgewater are still figuring out what account to put us on, but for the meantime we will continue to do some small work for the Lexis Nexis account here in Bangalore. He also told me that he discussed with his boss (my Mentor here) and my PM... still with me?... when we should leave and that's when i first heard of my formalized leave date.

2 guys from Mysore are coming on Wednesday afternoon to work here for their remaining month which will make the rest of my stay here go by faster. All in all, today was a good day with many questions answered and i look forward to finalize my stay here and return to my friends and family back in the states.

If anyone still reads this besides my mom and dad and wants to see more pictures of my nephew, let me know.
