nematome I left work at about 5:00 today, and stopped by Food Lion on the way home to pick up refreshments for the book club meeting at my house tonight. I decided on doing an “ice cream sundae bar.” I bought three different kinds of sauces: hot fudge, caramel, and strawberry. I also bought walnuts, pecans, … Read more
I had my appointment with Dr. Andrus this morning to remove the cyst on my back, which had returned after four years. It was a little more involved than I thought it was going to be. He really scraped deep in there, noting, “oh yeah, it’s always a lot worse the second time around as … Read more
I had a good meeting with Alan today, reviewing metrics of a quality plan, and discussing S.M.A.R.T. objectives. Steve got in touch late in the afternoon, and invited me to his place for dinner at 7:00. I left for Steve’s at about 6:45, which was too late. I stopped by the Food Lion and got … Read more
I had a great day at work. Can’t pinpoint exactly why, just doing work I like, and a sense of getting it done, and doing it well. I left work at about 5:45, and made it home shortly after 6. Robert had just arrived. I basically put my stuff down, and we headed over to … Read more
Uneventful work day. I got home at about 6:15, ate the second half of my Quizno’s lunch sub, grabbed Patsy’s card, and headed out to the Board meeting. The meeting went until 10:00, way too late! Toward the end, Jay announced his resignation from the board. Bummer! He apologized for not telling me ahead of … Read more
I had a great day at work. Alan turned over all of his weekly “war room meetings” to other people, all four others, each to one of his second lines or direct reports, and the Monday (Process) meeting to me! I ran it, complete with a detailed agenda, and it finished ahead of schedule! Afterward … Read more
We got up at about 9, MMMMMMMMMMMMMed, and packed up. We got a “late checkout” of 1:00 (as opposed to 12; I wasn’t very impressed with that). We went to IHOP to have breakfast. It was good, but it took longer than yesterday, and “the machine” didn’t seem to be as “well oiled” today. I … Read more
I got up at around 10:00. I filled out the Bellsouth application to have my phone bill charged to my credit card, and a graduation card and check to Diane Gibbs. I wrote out a card of thanks regarding Tour de Friends to both Robert and Ken. Robert called at about 11 saying he was … Read more
I had an 8:00 doctor’s appointment with Dr. Andrus. He snipped this horrid wart off my chin, just under my lip. He also assessed the cyst, which has returned on my back after having it removed in his very office four years ago, and we scheduled 20 minutes on July 11th to remove it again. … Read more
Work was uneventful today. Donna came over at 5:30, and we headed out to Red Lobster for dinner before going to a movie. It was pouring like a mother when we arrived at the restaurant at Crossroads. I pulled up to the door, and let Donna out, and went and parked. She got our name … Read more
