One Final SIERRA Push Before Dawn

January 19, 2020

I framed the night as one final push for SIERRA, but the real story was exhaustion, pressure, and the feeling that I was managing both a deal and my own collapse.

Very scary

Sun 19 Jan

12:30 a.m.

I'm going to sleep. I had a nice dinner party for Diro. I met a lot of old friends. Thevin dropped me. I had a good time. I wrote a bit, it exceeded 8,000 characters and deleted. Poof, gone, lost into oblivion forever. I've gotten old. Soon I'll be 50. I must live while I'm alive.

12:45 p.m.

I wrote an email to Ashok Pathirage uncle at ████████████████████████ @ gmail. com , I saw his son Prashan yesterday. I'll ask my mum to speak with Chalini aunty. My email is Lehan @ cyber space command .com , and this probably a good approach.

I need to see uncle Thilanga to discuss getting a liquor import permit. I think for SLFP events, we can stock alcohol for politics and other event at cost. He'll like that.

2:00 p.m.

I'm still in bed. I missed breakfast and lunch. I'll go and have some lunch.

5:00 p.m.

I'm watching Boardwalk Empire. I visited Diro's place and got some extra Bread Pudding. They did it really well. Aunty Roshani gave me extra because I told her I liked the bread pudding. My sister Lehara's friends are hot and have big boobs.

6:30 p.m.

I wish I was in England for some nice girls with big boobs hehehe. I'm liking Boardwalk Empire. It's beautiful TV. I hate the food and TV in Sri Lanka. Everything and a lot of people are just so s***ty and terrible. But my friends are cool, somewhat.

I need to visit Hasanga, his grandmother died, he was there for me when my grandmother died. It was a big deal for me. Nithiesha has also been there--she met my mum and messaged me. Sean Samarasinghe actually went in "and past the guards" (One Direction, Best Song Ever) and woke me up in my bedroom when I was in my boxers hehe.

Oh right, I remember why I'm feeling sad today. I remembered my grandmother died. Sigh. My whole world revolves around me, I don't know if the world is flat, but I sure as heck know the sun and the entire universe revolves and expands around and from me at its centre.

6:45 p.m.

7:00 p.m.

I'll just cover my feet in the blanket. If I see the mosquito, I'll try swat it. I remembered Toshan last night, he was putting my cousin Chadu down dissing the betting business. I don't have any friends from school.

I think I'll only ever be happy having people like the very smart people in Billions around me. I'm just seriously not a good cultural fit for Sri Lanka. I think I influenced Chadu really well, he's a good cultural fit and trustworthy. Everyone else, especially Udhantha, and everyone else is just terrible.

I don't know, nobody is 100% copy of anyone. You can't agree 100% with anyone. Or trust anyone. Everyone seems to trust me because I'm smart or something. People invest their time and everything for the intelligence and understanding and integrity I offer. Although I'm a snake and I've double crossed and I'll just f*** over everyone who has it coming.

I saw Kiran, Otara's son, who I just ignored. I dunno. I just ignore people. I don't care. I only ever say hi because I have to, and I hate doing that too. I saw Kashyapa. I have nothing to say about him. I think he hates Chadu and me because Chadu ███████████and Kashu liked her. It's ridiculous.

Unless it's to avoid getting caught. I hated school. Nobody was an entrepreneur or wanted to make any money in school, except a few people. I saw Mishal Marikka and said hi. ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

7:15 p.m.

I think I'll need Muslim votes for Colombo one day. I'll just say the "Mossad stole money from me" and can't be trusted because they're them. But I'll explain it and get sympathy. I'll just say a few Jewish friends are trustworthy, to play both sides as always. I always only ever do that.

███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

Rushini didn't know what craft beer was. Diro's dad didn't either. I'm shocked. I'm so different from everyone here. It's crazy. It's like I'm an alien, a foreigner. Rushini made off hand remarks about people's superiority complex near me -- possibly directed towards me. I put her on the Restricted List.

7:30 p.m.

Srinath, Diluk and Toshan hate my family and want the betting business nationalised. I strongly warn Chadu not to trust them. They're just jealous, it's all there is to it. Diluk to Srinath. Diro probably just puts up with them for friendship sake.

7:45 p.m.

I don't know. Why don't people just want you to be happy? Why can't people just do business? Why isn't there anybody with brains around here? These are difficult questions.

3:15 a.m.

I'm thinking it's a good idea to use Sumathi Info Tech to market Sierra to enterprise customers. We're virtually unknown and we've been targeted, attacked and I think blacklisted due to personal opinions of ██████████████████ at Union Bank (resigned) and NDB. It's not a big deal. But it's clever to use SIT to tackle these 2 and also NTB and People's Bank.

Dialog we may be able to protect by ourselves. But it's too much risk. I don't know Ruchira Yasaratne so well. That Sierra project probably won't work. This is because their CTO Pradeep most likely gave an instruction to not commit or do a conditional POC. It's likely bullshit. They're likely to be doing it to get a free service.

Still, I don't know for sure. It's hard to judge or perceive their true motives. For all I know, they may be being honest. I'll have to tell the story it's a pen test and I have to pay $10,000 for 150 hours of gruelling manual penetration testing to our expert security researchers who protected Telefonica O2, Etisalat and Saudi Telecom. I can use SIT's people to try persuade Dialog Axiata to pay for this. It's always generally good to consolidate with bigger companies like SIT.

The reason we got big is because we pay per project approved and we just appointed account managers to all 23 enterprise customers. So, we got 23 account managers. We got about 10 IT guys who can handle technical requirements who need work. It's how it happened.

3:30 a.m.

SIT isn't 100% trustworthy. They've dodged calls in the past. It's a tricky one. But it's better than nothing. Our company just needs good relationships, to close deals and revenue. We'll just use them.

I don't have a good opinion of Lasantha, the guy's not a good guy, he wants to fight. I don't think it's wise to have drama. I think it's better if it's just a one sided drama from him. We anyway do business with the institution. It's the way it is. There's always been plenty of people like him.

█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████. But I like defence. I think no matter what, some people will just always be jealous of me and hate me. It's the way it is.

Indrajith knows SLT group CIO Saman Perera. We can try to get a presentation done. I think he knows Rajeev at NDB, somebody at People's Bank, Sampath Bank's people, etc. I think everyone. They're the ones who work with them usually. I should use them. It's better than working with JIT or CIT as it's a family owned business. I think I need to step on the gas before SAT or other competitors become a problem.

I'm under stress, and so, despite Mirtazapine, I'm struggling to sleep at night. I think it's going to improve. This is temporary. I also was thinking according to Buddhism, I should show compassion to people. I don't think it's worth hating anybody. People hate me because I'm working, doing things and trying to solve problems.

3:45 a.m.

I think the anxiety woke me up. ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

4:00 a.m.

I dunno. There's probably problems in every country. I think I learned. That's the important thing. Plus, I'm lucky I have people to work with on enterprise customers. This is a great way to get into the customers.

4:45 a.m.

I'm glad that I can write about my suffering over here on Facebook. I think I'll be okay. I have a lot of stuff and people on my side. I read about Othello's tragedy. There's drama. I need to just be wise and show compassion to everyone.

5:15 a.m.

I was thinking about how painful killing cows is. It's very painful. I hate the betrayal involved. I hate how cruel the world is. I still eat beef. I tell myself this is the world. I feel sad about how Freemasons (like me) and Jews were murdered in WW2. It's a very cruel world.

5:30 a.m.

I often think about my dad helping our military. I hate violence and deaths. It's disgusting.

6:00 a.m.

I'm excited to get my first deal done. I'm impatient. ██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ This is key. I'm really sleepy or just tired. I struggle with sleep. I just get flashbacks and stuff all the time when stressed. It's a nightmare.

6:15 a.m.

I'm looking forward to getting business done with the banks. I started approaching Ashok Pathirage uncle. I hope it works on NDB. I think it's sad the place is not straightforward, but I'll just have to tolerate. There's no rule of law.

6:30 a.m.

I'm feeling sick. I have a slight cold developing. I was thinking of discontinuing relations with . The reason is because I don't trust them. Raja uncle says one thing, but does something else.

He was told about the People's Bank attack. He then proceeded to be friends with ████████. It seems like it's a joke to him. I don't see how they can remain friends. The way I deal with it is I just keep them as friends on Facebook but on the Restricted List.

Why should I tolerate people like that? They're Jagath uncle's friends. I dunno. Maybe, it's just meant to be that we end friendships. He's friends with Waruna and Sriyani aunt.

7:00 a.m.

For all I know, their approach makes sense. I gotta be tactful. ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████Why be friends with people who stole money from us? I hate people like that. I don't want them around. There's no telling when you can get lied to.

I sense that it's better to be friendly with Sriyani aunt or Waruna cousin, even just for face value. I don't know.██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████

7:30 a.m.

I can't know for sure. I think I'll give them the benefit of doubt. I think I'll be okay. I was thinking about animal slaughter and karma and being reincarnated. I'm scared of it. I don't agree with Christians that animals don't have a spirit.

I think all animals have a spirit or Buddha nature. It's true. I've seen tamed pet alligators. I hate myself for eating meat. I need to justify by saying that anyway there's an animal cost to meat or plant foods. It's just the way it is.

8:00 a.m.

I'm pretty tired. I feel sick. I'm going to go on an electronic Sabbath soon

8:30 a.m.

I'm watching Boardwalk Empire. I'm thinking of trying to use Jit somehow. I dunno. I'm pretty Machiavellian.

1:00 p.m.

I'm getting hungry. I'm so sleepy and drowsy today. I wonder what's up.

1:30 p.m.

I think I got the flu -- except it's a flu without the cold symptoms. It's just tiredness, somnolence, drowsiness, etc. I'm watching Boardwalk Empire--I f***ing love this show!

I miss Valerie

Valerie, call on me

Exhibit 8. I caught a mosquito

The mosquito went for my thighs, and I smacked it.

It's a lesson for all the other mosquitoes. This is what happens when you try to bite me.

My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact, I want to inflict my pain on others.
