I had lunch today with Deanna, Jay, Paul H., and one of his employees. I suspect the guy he brought with him is gay. We had a good “seeking to understand” lunch. I lost my damn umbrella, though. I’m pretty sure I left it on the blood pressure machine. Our feedback meeting on the 5/12 … Read more
Came home before the TCW board meeting, grabbed a quick bite, and headed over there at about 6:40. The meeting was long. Shawn didn’t show up. We finished at 9:30. Jay brought his camera, but we never did get around to taking pictures. I stopped at Flex on the way home. It was Karaoke night. … Read more
I had a brief, good meeting with Rich. We had a good one-hour meeting with Alan. He really seemed to like the work I’d done organizing the corrective and preventive actions by project and pillar. I left the office at about 2:30, and went to Flythe to take care of my bike. The good news … Read more
I got up at about 9:00, and got ready to go to Joe’s to meet him to ride. When I rolled my bike back, the back tire was completely flat. “How can this be? It was perfectly fine at the end of the 90-mile ride on Monday. It sat in this living room, on the … Read more
Joe and I were going to do the Durham Dairyland 65-mile ride today, but once again, it was raining when I got up, and the forecast was not good for the day. We bagged it. I spent the day doing three loads of laundry, cleaning my bathroom, ironing, catching up this journal, and my training … Read more
The TIGRs met with Jennifer K. to review the proposed ISO Recovery Plan. Rich joined late in the call, and at least twice was asked questions that he hadn’t heard. I think he would have been better off not joining the call than for it to be obvious two times that he wasn’t paying attention … Read more
I had my first bi-weekly ISO status meeting with Rich, which went well and didn’t last the entire half hour. I think I’m going to like working directly for him. I have to give him “positive feedback” on his “management style.” I particularly appreciated the way he told me he wasn’t going to get to … Read more
I had to choose between the EAGLE monthly month gathering and our weekly MSBC meeting. I went to book club. Janet showed up pretty late, and made an annoying comment, “Just take care of it. You’re the one with all the money.” I left work at about 4:00, and went to Goodman Toyota to get … Read more
I had a busy day at work today, working about half and half on my book and ISO. I spent some time in the afternoon with Jim G. on ISO database connections. After work I brought my car to Jiffy Lube for an oil change and a new battery. After changing my battery, my radio/CD/tape … Read more
We arrived in Louisburg, and the weather was a go for the ride. We rode out this morning at 7:55, and I rode 90 miles today!
