How is this day and age of 24/7 technology do we lose a 777 aircraft?
Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 that vanished two weeks ago is still not found. The latest theory is that it is in the Indian Ocean perhaps closer to Perth Australia given there is evidence the flight from KL to Beijing steered south west (way off course). I have two indirect connections to the flight: 1) my colleague used to work for BCG and her ex-colleague from Beijing is on the flight with his family and in-laws, 2) another colleague's sister works for Freescale Semiconductor in Malaysia which had 20 employees on board (a company that spun off from Motorola - both Stephen and my ex-employer, HQ in Austin near AMD).
So sad. I remember we never were allowed to fly with colleagues - let alone so many. Over 2/3 of the plane's passengers are Chinese and apparently there are 26 countries involved in the search.
On a more personal note, I cannot believe how many medicines and pill supplements that pregnant people have to take. Its more than food! I have been fighting a terrible cold/flu for 1.5 weeks now and it hasn't really gotten better. My nose is stuffed and runny and I actually took 4 days off work last week (never before so long for illness!!). Another pregnancy woe is my broken teeth. Already cracked one took two weeks ago and barely avoided a root canal. This past weekend I've cracked now a molar... off to dentist AGAIN today. Among the list of pills includes: maternal vitamins, Vitamin B12, Calcium Citrate, Vitamin C, DHA Fish Oil (Omega-3)... GEEZ....I never used to take even multi-vitamins :( Terrible!!!!
Finally back at office today and still feel not 100%. Drinking vitamin C dissolve in water. Lame. Can't have coffee anyways so may as well drink something else gross.
Have a wonderful week everybody!
