Today is my brother’s birthday. He’s officially older than me again. We’ve both been 47 for about 6 weeks now. I called him, but got voicemail. I worked all day on my project notebook — on the wrap up report (what a BITCH!), and on the project manager evaluation that I’d missed. I should have … Read more
I readjusted my health benefits choices today, and confirmed them. My 1:00 went fine, and we decided on just one more meeting in 2004, Monday, December 13th. Yippee! I’m off for the rest of the year starting on Friday, the 17th. BIGGER YIPPEE! During the day, I received notice of a couple of the articles … Read more
I got up at about 9, after just a few hours sleep, and worked on our group presentation until 11:00. I then showered, and left for Bruegger’s at 11:40 to meet Will and Tanya to rehearse our presentation. I got a bagel and coffee, as did Tanya, but the bag they gave her for her … Read more
I have spent the entire day working on my group project for ENG 512. It’s midnight, and I have it where I want it. Tomorrow morning, I will write up the speaker notes for each slide before meeting Will and Tanya at Bruegger’s at noon. After that meeting, I will make any corrections or updates … Read more
I made some scrambled eggs for breakfast that were disappointing, but acceptable. I printed off a bunch of stuff to take to the library, and then shaved and showered. I was at the library from about noon until a little after 3:00. That damn Volume 3 of Technical Communication Quarterly as still not been found … Read more
I did not feel great when the alarm went off at 7:30. Indeed those shots weren’t a good idea. I made myself get up and get started, though, so I could get to Vivian’s before the rest of the family. I SSSed, kissed Robert goodbye, and got on the road by 8:10. I stopped on … Read more
Robert came over after work, and we started off with celery with pimento cheese appetizers. We had grilled fish fillets (one lemon and pepper, the other blackened), baked potatoes, and applesauce for dinner. We got to dancing a little before 9:00, and though I thought it was going to be a “slow” night, it got … Read more
I worked a lot on our group project today. I’m pretty pleased with the progress. I sent the changes to Tanya and Will in hopes that they hadn’t yet started updating the presentation, too. I hope we don’t run into “version control” issues on the Powerpoint presentation. Jay picked me up at about 6:40, and … Read more
I worked from home today. Class was fun tonight; Megan and Jerry presented on Collaboration, which started off with a real fun group exercise. Each of us in a group of about 7 took on roles on a team at “Delusional Enterprises.” Each person had an agenda that we presented to the group, and each … Read more
Yesterday, you said you’d ride today… I checked my email, the obits, and the weather report for the day. Yesterday… I had breakfast, waffles, and used up the last of the syrup. You said you would ride today… I read some of The Nuclear Age. I started to fall asleep toward the end of the … Read more
