nematome I sent this email to my department members, and Mark’s managers: Hello colleagues, Just a quick note to share my morning experience with you. I attended the dedication of the IBM Habitat house, which was finished three weeks early — in time for the holidays! — for Rosalind Jones and her family. Though IBMers have … Read more
The mail: I paid the renewal on my “Umbrella Insurance,” $137. Who knew they’d have a separate insurance policy for your umbrella? (Ba-dump-dump! We’re here all week, folks!) I paid next semester’s tuition, $1664.00. I mailed a birthday card to Vivian, and a “just because” card to Jeanie-baby. I returned my proxy vote for some … Read more
I spent the entire morning working on CI-105 stuff for Becky. I met with Mark Wright to learn how to look for TFSAs in RETAIN. I spoke with Linda T. about how she did the CI-105 stuff for Enterprise. I summed up my morning’s findings to Becky. Class was fun tonight. Erin and I were … Read more
I worked from home in the morning, and then went to the Lifeworks presentation in the B002 cafeteria for lunch. I’m so glad I went. One of the services, the least used one they said, is this “Everyday Issues,” service where you can tell them some service you’re looking for and they investigate it for … Read more
I attended an ITIM meeting with Corey W. from Irvine. It was good to put a face with a name. I had always thought he was a black guy. I’m not sure why; I’ve never spoken to him. I think maybe because the last person I met named Corey was black. Dumb reason. I canceled … Read more
Robert and I met Wes, Jon, Frank, and Jeff for brunch at Irregardless at 11. Frank and Jeff arrived at about 11:15. I really didn’t think Wes would make it, and was so glad he did. Jon wasn’t on the invitation list that I saw, but we just scooted closer together making our table for … Read more
We got up around 9:30 or 10:00, and it was freezing. I peaked between the blinds as usual to “sees the day.” Brand spanking new quality trash cans from the city were at every door. Woohoo. New trash process starts next week, I believe. I’m not thrilled about it, as they used to get my … Read more
I had the most productive 3.5 hours at work today between about 2 and 5:30. Almost done with that tedious Security PPD Guidelines document update. The thought of the time it is going to save the teams using it is the only thing keeping me going on it. We had the rest of the spaghetti … Read more
I had a great meeting with Greg and Govind today. Greg, in addition to being hot, is really appreciative of my work, and what I like about him is that he lets you know. He told me on his way out, and later copied Mel on a note to me again saying how much he … Read more
I can’t tell you what a solemn day this was. I worked from home, as I imagine a great majority of GLBT IBMers did today. It’s just absolutely disheartening that we have to endure another four years with this man at the helm. Robert arrived close to six, and we had spaghetti for dinner. He … Read more
