Work was uneventful. Class was uneventful. Robert and I met Bryan and Jen for dinner at Lily’s. What an absolutely delightful couple. Dinner was great — good food and good conversation. I hope we do it again some time.

I had my 1-on-1 meeting with my manager today, so that he could tell me how I’m doing in my job to date this year. This is a communications opportunity for the manager to say, “these are the things you are doing well; these are the things you could focus on better.” We reviewed my … Read more

I worked from home this morning. I stopped for a haircut on the way into the office. Today is “Ten-Dollar Tuesday,” so I couldn’t use my $1.00 off coupon. There was a “new” lady there, who reminded me a lot of Robert’s mother. I guess “60 is Sexy” lady has the mornings off. I really … Read more

I slept in today, and hated that Robert had to get up so early to head to work. I worked from home from about noon until 3:30. Got some good things done, including responding to that damn audit request on Rhonda’s laptop that Robert recently returned to me. I’m ready to turn that thing in, … Read more

While Robert was showering, I got up and packed him a lunch. A chicken salad sandwich, a fruit cup, a granola bar, chips, and some Poppycock. I snuck right back in the bed. I checked the TCW mail today. Nothing pressing. I wrote my consumer complaint letter to Delta Airlines about our disasterous flight to … Read more

Debbie R. and I had lunch with Lynn W. today at Nikos in Brightleaf. It was great to see Lynn. She looks great, and seems to be living the hell out of retirement. Good for her. We had great, fun lunch discussion on a number of topics including discovering that Lynn and I both have … Read more

The “Review Changes to ITIM Control Documents based on ITIM Entry” meeting today was short, but fruitful. I was pleased with my level of contribution in the meeting. My meeting with Dana right after that meeting to prepare our response to Randy on the audit items was very productive as well. I like working with … Read more

The ReqPro demo by Gutorum got off to a rocky start this morning, but once the e-meeting finally connected it went fairly smoothly considering he was presenting from Oslo, Norway, some of us were here, some of us were in Austin, and one was connected from California. A plethora of time zones if nothing else. … Read more

This is such a beautiful, beautiful song. I heard it today on MusicMatch Jukebox at work, and it actually made me cry. I Still Believe In You Artist: Vince Gill Everybody wants a little piece of my time But still I put you at the end of the line How it breaks my heart to … Read more

My process meeting was uneventful, and short today. Mark was the officiating 2nd line, and was very prepared for the meeting, which I appreciate. I reviewed the presentation that I did for the folks in Australia later in the evening. I also spent some time going through their team room looking for document and record … Read more
