Cantaloupe, melon, pineapple, and orange juice for breakfast again. Go, me. I continue to be fascinated by the captioning on the huge screens at the front of the main tent sessions. At first I thought someone was typing what the speaker was saying, which I found incredible, because several of the speakers, especially Ted, spoke … Read more
I made it to the 7:00-8:00 breakfast at about 7:45. I managed to pass on the bacon and eggs and had cantaloupe, melon, and pineapple, with orange juice and coffee. Since the opening “main tent” started at 8:00, breakfast was a little rushed. I had somewhat of a roller coaster day, at times feeling extremely … Read more
The alarm came way too early. I got up showered, and packed. I left the house, and halfway up Kent realized that I’d left the list of names of folks at the conference from Tivoli, and the Tivoli “sign” I had made to hold up at lunch time to gather us together. I turned around, … Read more
We got up at around 9:00. I had breakfast, and Robert lopped the bushes out around my deck, and by the trash cans. We went to Crabtree, and I bought three shirts at Belk’s. We stopped at the food court, and Robert had Cream of Broccoli soup at the Bistro Deli, I think it was … Read more
Forgot to call dad for his birthday. I worked from home today, and sent out a final note to the Tivoli (Kessler’s) attendees about meeting for lunch on Monday at the conference. I also sent out my Diversity Is Everyone website address to management for consideration, and had a few email exchanges with Alan about … Read more
I edited a paper for Steve, and one for Irene this morning. These last minute edits of theirs are killing me. I like doing that kind of work, though, and they did recommend me for grad school after all. 🙂 I worked in Henry and Debra’s office late morning to help them with IDWB/F2K installs. … Read more
I spent most of my day today prepping for my one-on-one meeting with Mel. I documented all of my accomplishments by goals and commitments from January through April. After I shared that with him, he said, “Well the real meaning of the meeting is to give you your raise.” Cool. It’s only 3.6%, but I … Read more
My Monday meeting went well today; short but sweet. My doctor’s appointment went equally as well. My blood pressure was 110/70. I really like this, PA, Amy Hirt. Class flew by tonight as I worked on my website the entire time. I stopped by the grocery store on the way home, fixed me a Gorton’s … Read more
I worked on my website project all day today. I accessed my NCSU “locker space,” after downloading and installing three programs: X-Windows, something called PUTTY, and an SSH client. I don’t know how non-computer students would be expected to navigate through that. I eventually got to my “locker space” and FTPed my website files there. … Read more
I met Donna at Bruegger’s for breakfast. Mike, Norma, and their son were there. They must live at that place. Donna and I sat outside, and had a great chat. We were there probably an hour and a half. I stopped by The Card Factory, Best Buy, and Walmart on the way home. At the … Read more
