Forgot to call dad for his birthday. I worked from home today, and sent out a final note to the Tivoli (Kessler’s) attendees about meeting for lunch on Monday at the conference. I also sent out my Diversity Is Everyone website address to management for consideration, and had a few email exchanges with Alan about … Read more
I edited a paper for Steve, and one for Irene this morning. These last minute edits of theirs are killing me. I like doing that kind of work, though, and they did recommend me for grad school after all. 🙂 I worked in Henry and Debra’s office late morning to help them with IDWB/F2K installs. … Read more
I spent most of my day today prepping for my one-on-one meeting with Mel. I documented all of my accomplishments by goals and commitments from January through April. After I shared that with him, he said, “Well the real meaning of the meeting is to give you your raise.” Cool. It’s only 3.6%, but I … Read more

Class flew by tonight as I worked on my website the entire time. I stopped by the grocery store on the way home, fixed me a Gorton’s … Read more

I don’t know how non-computer students would be expected to navigate through that. I eventually got to my “locker space” and FTPed my website files there. … Read more

Robert came over after work and we had dinner at Hard Times Cafe. It was our first time there. They bring this little four section plate of chili to the table and place it on a card that has a description of the four different kinds of chili that are on the plate that sits … Read more
I want to capture two affirmations that have happened this week. (Things that make your heart go hummmmm — with warmth.) Michelle and I had this email exchange: From: John To: Michelle Date: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 10:05 am Subject: YOU My journal entry from the day of our last board meeting. http://www.livejournal.com/users/dailyafirmation/153932.htmlxxoo -j- From: … Read more
I attended the Dreamweaver Web-based Forms class today, and it was excellent. Right on time. I had a meeting with the PM team today with Charlie, Dave, and Woody. Dave gives me a woody. Such my type. I had a good meeting with Cassandra from 2:30 until about 3:10. We got the nonconformances sorted out … Read more
