Too late a night…

I dropped Courtney off at the airport on the way home. Class was very rushed tonight. Dr. Dicks arrived five minutes late, then took five minutes to set up the audio/visual equipment. We were already going to be rushed trying to get 11 presentations in had we started on time. I did my presentation after … Read more

Dancing with style…

Courtney had dinner with Robert and me. We had two CPK pizzas between the three of us. Tonight was the last night of class. I got there a little early, and Erin and Shalita were out in the hall. They, along with Brian, were tonight’s presenters. When Shalita left the area, Erin said, “Can I … Read more

Project Notebooks due…

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

Gender in Technical Communication…

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

Long day, long night…

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

Grueling day…

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

Homework and This American Life…

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

Thanksgiving reunion…

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

Festive night of dancing…

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

Dinner with Anne Bancroft…

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
