In pursuit of coolness (written by Ehsan Ehsani)

Oh come on, Everything has become so repetitive: Every day I come to the center, which is still blue (like it has always been), see Alejandro sitting there trying to maximize firm's value by ordering less (like he has always been trying to do so) and sit down to write another post for www.supplychainer.com (Like I have always been doing since 730 days ago)!

I need to do something a bit different; something cool! Like watching the soccer match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Going out for the fishing with Jarrod or being in Financial Times…

Well, unfortunately Barcelona and Real Madrid are not going to have a match in the near future and Jarrod won't let me into his boat (later Diego told me he doesn't have a boat either) so I decided to be in Financial Times, YES OK so from now, my target is to be in Financial Times :)

The reason for choosing this as a cool thing was that Financial Times is the best cool financial newspaper in the world and it's really hard to get into that (because it's cool to be quoted there or write there) and also all the people who are working or commenting in its articles are really COOL PEOPLE so that must be a really cool thing.

Today Gemma was here and I almost made her crazy by telling her every 30 minutes how cool it would be to be in FT and how I liked to accomplish this cool goal.

Alejandro almost wanted to slam me in the face; he politely tried to remind me that I should forget about such cool ambitions, try to be realistic and leave him alone so that he can focus on maximizing firm's value by ordering less, but I just can't help it…

Tonight, the goddamn weather is hot, there are lots of mosquitoes around but instead of mosquitoes, I wanted Mario to be around so that we can go together to Canterbury (like we have always been going) and enjoy a nice COOL glass of Franciskanner.

ZLOG 2006-2007

Socrates and his disciple

I was going to enter into wing A to check my always empty mailbox when I suddenly was the witness of this apparition ;)

Good luck to everybody with the thesis and keep on working!!!

This is the ZLOG Mexican Flavour!!

I am back from a wonderful vacation from Paris. Here is a picture to think about. Right now I am all alone in my apartment in Zaragoza, and spoke to Francisco on the phone and the two Mexicans, Enrique and Mario on MSN a little while back. I finished watching The Departed the second time (the first time I saw it with Zarina, Ehsan and Gemma just before the vacations, whence I fell asleep!)

But more than all of this, I just went through the MBLOG, and looking at their excitement to come to Spain (I am not sure if any MLOGger is reading that; I wish he/SHE were....:p ) I am equally looking forward to meeting them all very soon.....already we have Fran's b'day coming up on Saturday and we have a party...but I am sure, if no one else, I am going to arrange many more parties very soon for all of us!

I am also looking forward to our term at MIT, and all the action coming in. Although not as heavy as the previous term, this term will be much more crucial and much more important.

Here is one of the pictures from Paris to mark the end of the entry; it is the Eiffel right in the middle and right up ahead (I really wonder how they maintain the logistics there: there was a 2 mile long line when I was there!)

Happy new year to all of you!
