We got up at around 10. I had toast and a hard-boiled egg for breakfast. Robert scrambled himself some eggs. We talked about going for a walk around Lake Johnson at noon, but it never happened. Robert cleaned my house — what a doll — and I got caught up on my journal and my … Read more
We woke up around 8, had some incredible sex, and then headed out to the Carolina Theater for our next movies at the documentary festival. We arrived at about 9:15 for the 9:30 movie, and there was a long line at the ticket window. A lady who was “helping,” said, “Those of you who are … Read more
I listened in on Loretta’s conference call about the requirements database Storage is using, which may be applicable Tivoli-wide. Cassandra and I both had the same thought after the call, “This is great, but like the ‘Comiskey database,’ who’s going to support it if it’s used Tivoli-wide?” I met Raj for lunch at Chick-Fil-A on … Read more
I attended the first Fireworks class, which was taught by “Ray,” a very handsome, light-skinned black guy. At one point, I wanted to kiss him, because as it turned out, 6 people had signed up for the class, but I was the only one who showed up, so rather than standing in front of the … Read more
My 1.5-hour PPD review meeting with Loretta in San Jose and Marina in Rome turned into a 3-hour meeting. It was a long time to be on the phone, but we got a lot accomplished, which was good. Our department meeting on “base pay” was sort of lame, but I know it’s something Mel had … Read more
I was in and out during the TIGR conference call, not paying too much attention. I met Suzanne and Sharon for lunch. Sharon and I talked about Annette, and Sharon arrived just minutes before I had to leave, and had my Catch Phrase game with her, along with my batteries. I staffed the DNG table, … Read more
My process meeting went quite well today — very upbeat for a change. Helen acted on Alan’s behalf. At about 3:30, we got an e-mail from Dr. Dicks that he had food poisoning, and class was canceled. Darn. I was all ready to turn in my brochure. Oh well. Might make one last change to … Read more
I got up at 11:00. At 1:00, I met Steven at Carmichael for our workout. I did 5 minutes, then 25 minutes on the elliptical machine upstairs, because it only lets you set it for a maximum of 25 minutes. I burned up 400 calories, and a good sweat. Our walk went by so fast. … Read more
I worked all day on my brochure for my ENG 517 class, due Monday. I made great progress, and by 5:30 sent a copy via the Internet to Kinkos to be copied. I had a somewhat grueling AIM conversation with Irene. She’s got herself into a real mess in Texas, and is expending so much … Read more
I had the alarm set for 8:00 this morning, not remembering my 9:00 conference call. I ended up taking it from home. Poor Loretta was taking the call from Santa Cruz at 6AM. The meeting ran over by about 10 minutes, and then Loretta, Cassandra and I stayed on the line while Cassandra went over … Read more
