Cassandra and I had a great meeting, finally getting it together on a Wednesday. She shared her frustration with the document control issues once again found on our favorite team! Grrrrrrr! I ran Mary’s Virtual PM/RM Meeting today, which went really well. The project managers were open to being “nudged” for the metrics on the … Read more
I checked the TCW mail on the way into work this morning, and then, on a whim, stopped at the Cup A Joe’s on Hillsborough Street to see if the June edition of The Urban Hiker had come out yet. To my absolute delight, it had! I grabbed about 6 copies, and left. I didn’t … Read more

Uneventful work day. No meeting with Cassandra today. I’m beginning to think Wednesday’s are not a good day for us to meet. We had our weekly call with Allan. I think he’s lonely. I’m annoyed with the rescheduling of the 06/23 GLBT Education Module, but I’m dealing with it. I hate when things are unsettled. … Read more

We had bookclub, which was shadowed a bit because Suzanne didn’t show up, and didn’t call anybody to let them know. This is unusual … Read more
