My Monday meeting went well today. The reaction/response to my effectiveness analysis was underwhelming. Oh well. I got responses from both Carl and Alan on my follow-up Will & Ned poster. Nothing from Mel and Mark. Typical. I received acknowledgment for my thank-you notes to both Chris and Barry for their participation in the conference … Read more
I caught up my journal, and Robert “fixed me” breakfast. He toasted me an energy bar, and brought it up to me along with a hard-boiled egg, and a cup of coffee. Sweetness. He had a little bite, some coffee, and did the N&O crossword puzzle. He left around noon. I showered and headed out … Read more
Though the concert was sold out, we didn’t wait at all to get parked. Amazing. We ended up in our seats by about 7:10. The concert was scheduled to start at 7:30, but actually started at about 7:25. The first warm-up band was The Warren Brothers. I had never heard of them, and didn’t at … Read more
Since we got to bed by about 10:30, we were up by 8:30. I made mushroom, onion, and cheese scrambled eggs, which we had with some toast and coffee. It was pretty yummy if I may say so myself. I worked on my Tour de Friends web page, converting my Training Journal from Word to … Read more
I arrived at the rec center just before 8:30, and was surprised at how “un-crowded” it was. That, however, made “check-in” quick and easy. I found a seat next to Richard Z., in the second row on the right side. I wanted to sit close enough to the front that I could get decent pictures … Read more
Work was pretty uneventful today until I returned from the printer at around 3 or 3:30, and saw my voice mail light blinking. I called it, and it was a message from The Lifeworks Program saying that one of their clients wanted me to call them. My first thought was that this was some sort … Read more
I worked from home today as my car was in the shop being repaired from the “Artsplosure incident.” I got an e-mail from Bert, whose humor I love, today that said something to this effect, “On the radio this morning, on the way in, the announcer said, ‘Those late afternoon and early evening thunderstorms could … Read more
We had our TIGR meeting today, which was basically a roundtable again. I brought up concerns about the TPDM Process Change Control Process. (Yes, dont’ laugh, it’s a process for a process.) 🙂 Book club lunch was fun; it was only me, Mary, and Suzanne. Mary talked about spending some time with Tara (3 months), … Read more
Candie called me at about forty-five minutes before the meeting to let me know Alan was calling a meeting at the same time of all of his managers. Since at least one of them has to be at my meeting to authorize action item closings, we basically canceled the meeting. I did dial in just … Read more
I worked on my web page all day today. At about 7:00, I cut and pasted something in a file, and accidentally wiped out 90% of the file. I saved the file before I realized it. I lost about two hours work. I did some serious “Landmark,” “Covey,” and “The Reality of Change” mental work … Read more
