nematome A meeting kind of day at work. STC “Persona” meeting, installation for Diane M., and ITIM new release content. It amazes me sometimes how such brilliantly technical people can have no people skills. Stopped by home to have dinner. Left at 5:30. Stopped by Blockbuster to return the two Mame movies. Picked Mason up for … Read more
Looks like another business trip to L.A. is in the making, most likely February 24-28. Will move trip to NYC with both mom and dad to 3/1 – 3/4. I’ll get back at 10:30 at night on Friday and fly out Saturday morning at 7. Should be interesting. Prepared for the SeminarWorks volunteer organizational meeting … Read more
Spent 1 hour and 15 minutes in traffic this morning, and never made it west of Harrison Avenue. Turned around and worked from home. Dropped my car off at the new Jiffy Lube for oil service and walked home the long way. 15 minutes after home, they called and said it was ready. I walked … Read more
Got up at 10 today. Rob called at about 11 suggesting we meet at his mom’s at 3. I started cleaning out the guest bedroom closet. Found the rest of my ski clothes! Yay! I’m good to go a week Wednesday now. I beat Rob to his mom’s (no surprise). Doris and his mom were … Read more
Got up at 7AM with Robert, and made him lunch and coffee while he was showering. He passed on the coffee, but took the egg salad sandwich and chips. I stayed up, and at around 9:30 took the Christmas package that I had wrapped yesterday for Jeane to the post office. $5.71 for a 5- … Read more
I worked from home today, waiting for the “microhood” installer to arrive. He called at about 8:45 saying he’d received my voicemail message yesterday, but hadn’t confirmed that my microwave had actually arrived at Sears. He asked for a number off the receipt, which I didn’t have. After we hung up, I found the receipt … Read more
Picked Courtney up today; her car is still in the shop. Uneventful work day, for the most part. Before I left, I sent a note to an auditing manager in Dallas for tips on career steps. Attended an e-Meeting, which was riddled with problems. People couldn’t get into the meeting, we ran out of phone … Read more
The day started off a little stressfully with my alarm not going off. I checked “the usual suspects” when this kind of thing happens: alarm set for AM, clock time set for AM (check), alarm on buzzer not radio with the volume turned down (check). Hmmm. I was supposed to pick Courtney up at 8:00, … Read more
Not too productive of a day at work today. Had book club lunch, and we exchanged gifts. That was nice. Good to see the group again. We’re ready to read READ MY LIPS next, as that’s what I got each of them for a Christmas gift. I mentioned that Riki Wilchins has somewhat of a … Read more
I had an hysterical (as usual) lunch with Courtney today. She killed me with that story of cutting her hamburger up in “pie slices,” so she could pretend it was “dessert” while she was eating it. Too funny! We also exchanged with each other what we weighed in at last week when we started dieting. … Read more
