Had a restless night’s sleep on Mom and Dad’s couch… back hurting, which seems to be going around… dad’s back is out from raking, Jeff’s back is out. Are we all getting old or what? Michael, Meagan, and Chris came at around 11, and we had a delicious Thanksgiving Dinner at around noon. Mom asked … Read more

I had a short day at work, leaving the office around 1:00 to head to Jacksonville. The traffic was pretty light. I called Mom & Dad from the road, no answer. Left a message. I called Vivian and Jeff on the way to let them know I was getting to Jacksonville earlier than planned. Mom … Read more

Another quiet day at work today. Made progress with Kim’s connection to the Xyvision server, so that was good. Unfortunately, she got a bad book from Jim, so we could never complete the test. When I made plans to meet Robert with his computer today, I had forgotten that it was book club lunch day, … Read more

I spent most of the day at work today doing my expense account. What a drag. I am having to deal with two charges to my Diner’s Club from hotels I made reservations for when Steve was visiting that I canceled but got charged for any way. What a hassle. Hopefully the Starwood request to … Read more

We woke up around 7:00 this morning, and MMMMMMMM! We went back to sleep for “15 more minutes,” and woke up two hours later. Robert made some coffee, we looked at Steve’s pictures from our time together in California, and then both showered. While we were there, James showed up to start working on the … Read more

There wasn’t time to ask for “David,” the manager, to see if there had been any update on the “potential bullet hole” incident. When I got up to the American Airlines check-in counter, I … Read more

Today was a “finishing up” day at work, it being Casey’s, Sue’s, and my last day. I finished up touches on the Unix installation guide, and printed out copies for Gil and Dan to use on their next install. We had a “going away” lunch, a late one, with me, Kim, Sue, and Casey eating … Read more

Good progress again at work. Hey, this writing stuff is kind of fun. We left work at 5:00 and went to P.F. Changs as a “thank you dinner” to Dan. Me, Justin, John H., Levoy, the girl he has met here, Pat, Sue, Rob and Casey. I had the spicy chicken, which was my favorite … Read more

Work was a lot less stressful today. Made good progress. I went to lunch with Sue at Chevy’s. During the course of the conversation, I came out to her. We got on the subject of our years with IBM, and in the course of telling her how I quit for 7 years, and why, the … Read more

Big day at work today. At a 2:00 team meeting, the “slip” of the release of our product was announced. Instead of having to have everything done by this Friday, 11/22, we have until Friday, 12/13. Everyone was quite relieved, giddy in a way. This product was never going to be ready by this Friday … Read more
