nematome I spent the whole day sitting in on the ITIM ISO audit. I think it’s actually going pretty well. I don’t think Randy has noted one major nonconformance yet. We’ll see tomorrow. Tonight I snuck in a few games of Zuma, while listening to the DNC. I really liked Mrs. Kerry’s speech, of which I … Read more
My Monday meeting went well today. I stopped at Sam’s Club on the way home, and bought a pair of shorts, some chips, some granola bars, and some vitamins. I came this close to buying a television with a built in DVD player in it, because the movie I am trying to watch on my … Read more
I got up at noon. I pretty much pissed the day away. I did walk two miles on the Carmichael indoor track, and stopped at the grocery store on the way home. Joe called about going out for dinner, and then possibly to Flex. We met at “Two Guys” on Hillsborough Street for dinner at … Read more
I got up at about 9:30, had breakfast, read through the obits, and played three games of Zuma. On that final game, I broke 100,000 points, and “retired.” I spent a few minutes creating an announcement for my retirement, and posted said announcement to this journal. 🙂 I ran out to this furniture outlet listed … Read more
Today, I am quitting cold turkey, because I finally broke 100,000. Now I can Rest In Peace.
I had lunch with Richard and Jay today at Piper’s, and I had my long-longed for Pimento Cheese Sandwich, which was everything I dreamed it would be. Jay and I got in a good belly laugh, which seems to happen at least once every time we get together. This one was regarding that Internet clip … Read more
I officially worked from noon to 9PM today, but actually logged into work from home at about 10:00, and was on and off all day. Liz changed the call-in number for my class to the IBM Australians this evening, so I decided to go into work to teach the class from there rather than making … Read more
I had the filling from hell today. I got so many shots of novocaine, and still could feel the work almost to the end. I love my dentist, however. She is so compassionate. After the last two novo blasts, she said, “Probably in about an hour the whole side of your face will be blown … Read more
Uneventful work day. I stopped to vote on the way home. It’s scary how little I know about our democratic process. When I said something at lunch about “just pulling the democrat lever,” she said something like, “You don’t have to worry about that today; it’s the primary.” While in the voting booth, I got … Read more
My Monday meeting went very well today. Afterwards, Cassandra sent me a ST that said, “That’s the most productive meeting I’ve attended in a long time.” Yippee. We really did have a good exchange, and caught one thing (at least) that would have slipped through the cracks if we weren’t sharing across the pillar via … Read more
