I had a super-productive day at work today. My 1:00 meeting went well, and I got three major things done after it, leaving the office at about 6:30. I thought Courtney was arriving today, but she had decided to take a vacation day today, and called me at about 10 in the evening to tell … Read more
We had a sausage biscuit, two eggs over easy, milk, and coffee for breakfast. Yum. Robert cleaned house, and did laundry for me, while I went to work. Most of the time at work, I spent reviewing Linda’s ITIM PPD. It was good work, I did a thorough review, and I felt great once it … Read more
I did the TCW minutes for the January meeting today. At 3:40, I got around to looking up the bookstore at NC State to go buy my books for Thursday’s class. I saw that it closed at 4:00, isn’t open on Sundays, and is closed on Monday due to the MLK Holiday. Bummer! Robert went … Read more
I had a real productive day at work, but did not get Linda’s PPD review finished. Fortunately she’s involved in a “fire drill,” so said Monday’s fine. Robert and I went to Captain Stanley’s for dinner. He’d never been. We had somewhat of a wait in line as it was a Friday night, and packed … Read more
I worked from home this morning, spending the time here reviewing Linda’s PPD for the next ITIM release. At 10:30 Robert and I left the house, dropped my car off at the Quizno’s at Mission Valley, and then he dropped me off in front of the building that houses Stewart Theater. I was one of … Read more
I met with Fran this morning to talk to him about “pens” for my class tonight. He gave me a fountain pen, a roller ball pen, a ballpoint pen (a “gravity” one, which also included a mechanical pencil), a bottle of ink, and a fountain pen replacement cartridge. I completed my assignment for class, which … Read more
I had a very accomplished day at work today. Got my appraisal, and I’m satisfied with it. Found out IBM will not be paying for my grad school, which is disappointing, but not worth pushing further or arguing about. I can afford it, and it’s a good investment in my personal life goals. Our homeowner’s … Read more
My “Process War Room Meeting” went well today. As usual, I spent the morning stressing out about it, which at least gets me prepared, and it went off fine. Alan was in a good mood today, which always helps. I left work at 4:30 to meet Nathan at 5:00. All is well on the financial … Read more
I have often thought that the picture in my passport makes me look slightly Middle Eastern – sadly, a “suspicious” look with the country on a “Code Orange Security Alert.” Another routine trip through immigration, as I departed Montreal en route to Raleigh, NC via La Guardia airport in New York. There was one person … Read more
I worked out of Building 901 today, where I met Lila, Trevor, Jason, Jennifer, Jim D., and caught up with Liza and John. I sat in an empty office across from Michelle It was great to put a face with Lila. I was curious as to whether she was African-American or not. Over the last … Read more
