We got up around 9:00, had a nice breakfast of scrambled eggs with chourico and cheese in them, some toast, and milk. It was quite good, if I may say so myself. We got on the road a little before noon, and had a fun ride to the beach. Snacks, which Robert had brought, consisted … Read more
I met Adrienne for lunch at Fireside at Southpoint. It was great to get caught up with her. She is looking so beautiful. I left there, and ran over to Souper! Salad! to meet Janet, Mary, and Sharon. Janet announced about making me the executor of her estate, and gave me a key to her … Read more
I was bombarded with questions today about ISO and process, mostly from the west coast folks, Greg and BT. While it feels good to be sought out as the expert, it’s hard to get things done when I’m interrupted with questions all day. The two-hour process education given by John S. in Austin via e-meeting … Read more
I had a dentist appointment at 8:00AM today. Fortunately, I looked at the calendar on my fridge right before going to bed last night, or I would have missed the appointment — in spite of the card in the mail two weeks ago, and the reminder call on Tuesday. My hygienist is pregnant again, and … Read more
I had an incredibly productive “work at home” day today, spending the entire day writing up the improvements that need to be made to AMeB’s PPD before Marilyn’s next review. As a bonus, my 11:00 (TIGR) conference call got canceled. At 5, I took a quick shower, and then headed over to Upper Cuts. Thomas … Read more
Worked frantically all morning on the 1:00 ISO / Process meeting, which Alan ended up not connecting to, and Rich was on Vacation. It was a good meeting, however. At 2, I ran by the Credit Union, and zipped by Sam’s to pic up the anniversary pictures. They’re pretty good! The (entire) group picture is … Read more
Joe called at about 7:05 to say that he had turned off his alarm and fallen back asleep. He said he’d be here in about half hour if I didn’t mind waiting. I called him back at about 7:40 to see where he was, and he was just leaving Garner. “Which way are you coming?” … Read more
The alarm went off at 7:15, and we MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMed. Robert then rushed out to get to work by 8. I went back to sleep and had lots of very vivid dreams, as I often do when going back to sleep in the morning. Robert called at about 11 to say that his car still wasn’t … Read more
I worked from home in the morning, taking an hour-and-fifteen minute conference call with Paul H. and “Gustorm,” who was in Oslo, Norway. He took me through one of the new set of Rational tools, out of a suite, that might help us meet the ISO requirement of traceability of requirements throughout the development process. … Read more
First thing, I sent out an e-mail to the audit attendees about audit etiquette, and included the last OBS I forgot to include in the note yesterday, in case we look at it. I went up to the conference room at about 9:15 to make sure all the connections worked, and fortunately the room was … Read more
