I hate computer with a passion. The last thing I want to do is anything with computer. But I do like my software engineering stuff. You take something that's valued x and you make it sound like it's valued x to the power of infinity. And everyone usually eats it up. I don't want a computer business. I have to get something done by the next 5 years. Life cannot go on like this.

First of all, have a safe trip, bro :star:

Second of all, explore the world of married life (in and out!) ;) If any objection happens, the key phrase is "Life is short!" :P

Third of all, welcome back to the U.S on time and wish no snow on that day :thumbs: Chicago is notorious with cotton powder! BTW, do you stay there or is it the transit to Atlanta?

When the wife is here, make her not boring :D

Thanks everyone.

I packed lightly for myself. 5 pairs of pants plus the one I'm wearing. A total of 12 shirts and t-shirts. Socks, and 8 wife-beaters. Rest of the item in the bag are various purses and things my sisters are sending to their friends they met on my wedding trip. I am taking razors, lotion, and toothbrush. Don't think I need anything else that I can't buy in Bangladesh.

We're going to be in Chicago for 8 or so hours.

My flight tomorrow isn't until 1530. So I will be working from home and checkin' in on you guys. Stay classy.

While going there, it should not be a problem. But while coming back, keep the razors, toothpaste, lotion (any other sharp tools etc.!) etc. in the check-in luggage. Toothbrush is harmless!
