nematome Worked frantically all morning on the 1:00 ISO / Process meeting, which Alan ended up not connecting to, and Rich was on Vacation. It was a good meeting, however. At 2, I ran by the Credit Union, and zipped by Sam’s to pic up the anniversary pictures. They’re pretty good! The (entire) group picture is … Read more
Joe called at about 7:05 to say that he had turned off his alarm and fallen back asleep. He said he’d be here in about half hour if I didn’t mind waiting. I called him back at about 7:40 to see where he was, and he was just leaving Garner. “Which way are you coming?” … Read more
The alarm went off at 7:15, and we MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMed. Robert then rushed out to get to work by 8. I went back to sleep and had lots of very vivid dreams, as I often do when going back to sleep in the morning. Robert called at about 11 to say that his car still wasn’t … Read more
I worked from home in the morning, taking an hour-and-fifteen minute conference call with Paul H. and “Gustorm,” who was in Oslo, Norway. He took me through one of the new set of Rational tools, out of a suite, that might help us meet the ISO requirement of traceability of requirements throughout the development process. … Read more
First thing, I sent out an e-mail to the audit attendees about audit etiquette, and included the last OBS I forgot to include in the note yesterday, in case we look at it. I went up to the conference room at about 9:15 to make sure all the connections worked, and fortunately the room was … Read more
I spent the entire day finishing the creation of action items resulting from the reviews of AR-0179 and AR-0165 in case Marilyn follows that path during the meeting tomorrow. I also revised the e-mail note we’ll be using to drive the meeting tomorrow and re-sent it to the participants. Halfway home, I realized I forgot … Read more
I dropped my car off at Tire King this morning to have the tires rotated (finally!), and asked them to aim my headlights as well. I read the obituaries in the N&O while I waited for the van to leave. I haven’t read the printed obits in so long. They don’t put the pictures in … Read more
On the way home from work (late) I stopped at K-Mart to check on deck furniture, and covers for my deck chairs. They had to close-out tables and chair sets, one regularly $499 for $299 (a Martha Steward set), and one regularly $399 for $174. When I asked if there were others in the back … Read more
Robert and I headed out to the NC Museum of Art to help set up for the Community Center interest-raising event. Robert was already there, of course, and we started off by helping put together the rainbow-colored streamers. Robert and his partner had cut up red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet table cloths into … Read more
I had my stress test with Ava and Dr. Jacokes. I “passed with flying colors.” I got to work with only about an hour to work before meeting Suzanne and Janet for lunch at The Deli Box. We had a good lunch out on the picnic tables. At home, I sent out a note to … Read more
