I had an 8:00 wake up call. I showered, and walked over to the Howard Johnson’s for their “best breakfast deal on the beach” — 2 eggs, 2 sausage, 2 bacon, and 2 pancakes for $5.95. That’s the most I’ve eaten for breakfast on this whole trip. I had coffee with it, and two big … Read more
I got up at 8:00. We had a great breakfast of fruit (cantaloupe, watermelon, melon, and oranges), and English Muffins. I sat outside by the pool and read the paper, checked out the local obituaries, which were, for the most part, uninteresting. I checked in with Robert to see how his Saturday night out went, … Read more
Joe called at about 8:10 to let me know that I didn’t have to call him at 8:30. His sister had called at about 7:15, so he was already up and at ’em. He arrived at about 8:50, and we left at right about 9:00. We stopped by the post office on the way out, … Read more
I worked at home today, and was supposed to meet Adrienne for lunch from 1-2. However, last night Robert told me that he really wanted to meet me for lunch before his flight to Atlanta at 1:20. I called Adrienne and post-poned our lunch once again. She was totally cool with it, which is no … Read more
I spent most of the work day doing an effectiveness analysis on closed audit nonconformance. It was fun and tedious at different times. Fun to be creating something new, tedious to complete all the details involved in the analysis. The TCW board meeting was tonight from 7-9. When I got there, only Jan was there, … Read more
Janet called from her cell phone at 10:35 asking me to cover for her at the EAGLE DNG table in the Tier Complex for about 45 minutes. She was on her way to a doctor’s appointment. I got to the Tier cafeteria right at 11, and the tables for the DNGs hadn’t been set up. … Read more
The TIGR meeting was uneventful this morning. The “Foundation of Competencies” meeting in B500 during lunch was a bust. It turned out to be the exact same session I attended in Orlando at the MPIT conference a couple of weeks ago — same presenters and all. I left after about 15 minutes. I met with … Read more
I had a good day today. I finished a month-long outstanding action item in time for my 1:00 meeting, which was well attended by the 2nd lines, with BT, Mark, and Helen on the call. I called the girl who hit my car on Saturday at Artsplosure. “Hi. This is John Martin. You hit my … Read more
Robert and I had coffee and breakfast on the porch at “the bar.” It was quite nice. Thank goodness for the umbrella, because even at that hour, it would have been too hot in the direct sun. Robert packed up, and on his way out, offered to take my watch with him to get the … Read more
We spent about two hours putting together my patio bar set. When we got to the final chair, we had a couple of problems: 1) the netting had a run in it, and 2) one of the screws was stripped. I’ll call the 800 number on Monday to get it taken care of. At about … Read more
