I took a vacation today, and at about 10:00, Robert and I headed out to Smithfield. We visited the Ava Gardner Museum, which was just delightful — especially the lady with the Southern drawl at the entrance. What a hoot. She led us to a movie viewing room, and she started a 20-minute movie after … Read more

We had no class today. Joe checked in some time during the day, and invited me to go to DC with him and Doug. I thought about it for about 3 minutes, and then said, “Sure, why not? Might as well dance with some cowboys on Saturday night at Remingtons. I took a little nap, … Read more

Class was uneventful tonight. Meagan was missing. Steven came to Flex, and seemed to have a good time. It was as awkward as I thought it would be telling Robert how I met him, not ever having mentioned LiveJournal to him. During the night, Steven mentioned our threesome with Nick in Charlotte, which caught Robert … Read more

I spent most of the day today reviewing Paul’s IDI PPD. Tedious. But I felt good when it was done. Value add. We had book club lunch today, and I missed Sharon, who was on vacation with Joe at the Biltmore House. It must be their anniversary or something. Suzanne told the story about the … Read more

Spent the entire morning getting ready for my 1:00, as usual. As is happening more often than not lately, Alan didn’t attend, and it was 15 minutes before a 2nd line came on the line. As I was going through the agenda item for management, Candie stopped me to tell me that Mark (the only … Read more

We got up at around 10. I had toast and a hard-boiled egg for breakfast. Robert scrambled himself some eggs. We talked about going for a walk around Lake Johnson at noon, but it never happened. Robert cleaned my house — what a doll — and I got caught up on my journal and my … Read more

We woke up around 8, had some incredible sex, and then headed out to the Carolina Theater for our next movies at the documentary festival. We arrived at about 9:15 for the 9:30 movie, and there was a long line at the ticket window. A lady who was “helping,” said, “Those of you who are … Read more

I listened in on Loretta’s conference call about the requirements database Storage is using, which may be applicable Tivoli-wide. Cassandra and I both had the same thought after the call, “This is great, but like the ‘Comiskey database,’ who’s going to support it if it’s used Tivoli-wide?” I met Raj for lunch at Chick-Fil-A on … Read more

I attended the first Fireworks class, which was taught by “Ray,” a very handsome, light-skinned black guy. At one point, I wanted to kiss him, because as it turned out, 6 people had signed up for the class, but I was the only one who showed up, so rather than standing in front of the … Read more

My 1.5-hour PPD review meeting with Loretta in San Jose and Marina in Rome turned into a 3-hour meeting. It was a long time to be on the phone, but we got a lot accomplished, which was good. Our department meeting on “base pay” was sort of lame, but I know it’s something Mel had … Read more
