Our TIGR meeting went smoothly today. I brought up questions about the new ICMT process and CDT roles, which are still in development, and confirmed that my understanding of how we’re supposed to proceed in the meantime was correct. Class was okay tonight. As expected I am going to enjoy my other class much more. … Read more
We woke up at about 10, MMMMMMMed, and got started at about 10:30 — with lots to do before everyone arrived. Without Robert’s help, it never would have gotten done. We had Bloody Marys, and tortilla chips with H&D dip before grilling the hamburgers and hot dogs. The potato salad was disappointing, as was the … Read more
Robert and I had homemade sausage biscuits — Hawaii mini-rolls with apple sausage slices — for breakfast, which were delicious. We left for Rosalynn Place at 11:30, arriving at about 11:50. We walked around the “Habitat subdivision” looking for the IBM house, and after asking at least three people, finally found it. Diane was there, … Read more
Work was uneventful. We cooked pork chops on the grill, and had them with mashed potatoes and asparagus. We watched the movie Boys Don’t Cry, which we both thought was great. Movie synopsis: Follow Teena Brandon as she becomes Brandon Teena and claims a new male identity in the rural town of Falls City, Nebraska. … Read more
Work was uneventful. Class was uneventful. Robert and I met Bryan and Jen for dinner at Lily’s. What an absolutely delightful couple. Dinner was great — good food and good conversation. I hope we do it again some time.
I had my 1-on-1 meeting with my manager today, so that he could tell me how I’m doing in my job to date this year. This is a communications opportunity for the manager to say, “these are the things you are doing well; these are the things you could focus on better.” We reviewed my … Read more
I worked from home this morning. I stopped for a haircut on the way into the office. Today is “Ten-Dollar Tuesday,” so I couldn’t use my $1.00 off coupon. There was a “new” lady there, who reminded me a lot of Robert’s mother. I guess “60 is Sexy” lady has the mornings off. I really … Read more
I slept in today, and hated that Robert had to get up so early to head to work. I worked from home from about noon until 3:30. Got some good things done, including responding to that damn audit request on Rhonda’s laptop that Robert recently returned to me. I’m ready to turn that thing in, … Read more
While Robert was showering, I got up and packed him a lunch. A chicken salad sandwich, a fruit cup, a granola bar, chips, and some Poppycock. I snuck right back in the bed. I checked the TCW mail today. Nothing pressing. I wrote my consumer complaint letter to Delta Airlines about our disasterous flight to … Read more
Debbie R. and I had lunch with Lynn W. today at Nikos in Brightleaf. It was great to see Lynn. She looks great, and seems to be living the hell out of retirement. Good for her. We had great, fun lunch discussion on a number of topics including discovering that Lynn and I both have … Read more
