Got up at 7AM with Robert, and made him lunch and coffee while he was showering. He passed on the coffee, but took the egg salad sandwich and chips. I stayed up, and at around 9:30 took the Christmas package that I had wrapped yesterday for Jeane to the post office. $5.71 for a 5- … Read more
I worked from home today, waiting for the “microhood” installer to arrive. He called at about 8:45 saying he’d received my voicemail message yesterday, but hadn’t confirmed that my microwave had actually arrived at Sears. He asked for a number off the receipt, which I didn’t have. After we hung up, I found the receipt … Read more
Picked Courtney up today; her car is still in the shop. Uneventful work day, for the most part. Before I left, I sent a note to an auditing manager in Dallas for tips on career steps. Attended an e-Meeting, which was riddled with problems. People couldn’t get into the meeting, we ran out of phone … Read more
The day started off a little stressfully with my alarm not going off. I checked “the usual suspects” when this kind of thing happens: alarm set for AM, clock time set for AM (check), alarm on buzzer not radio with the volume turned down (check). Hmmm. I was supposed to pick Courtney up at 8:00, … Read more
Not too productive of a day at work today. Had book club lunch, and we exchanged gifts. That was nice. Good to see the group again. We’re ready to read READ MY LIPS next, as that’s what I got each of them for a Christmas gift. I mentioned that Riki Wilchins has somewhat of a … Read more
I had an hysterical (as usual) lunch with Courtney today. She killed me with that story of cutting her hamburger up in “pie slices,” so she could pretend it was “dessert” while she was eating it. Too funny! We also exchanged with each other what we weighed in at last week when we started dieting. … Read more
I spent most of the day today preparing food for the week. I ran to the grocery store for a few items with the main impetus for the trip being to buy Teriyaki sauce for the chicken tonight. I diced up celery, red peppers, scallions (putting aside some chives in the process), and tomatoes. I … Read more
We had an uneventful breakfast, and I got some house-cleaning and straightening done with Robert’s help. Vacuumed and mopped the kitchen and bathroom floors. He put some boxes out in the shed for me. We spent a little time looking up the program he needs to run the keyboarding lessons he bought, and eventually found … Read more
Sent a note to Woody right before leaving about the ISO auditing assignment. Need to start on rebranding my agent on Monday. Gave Susanne the Paris calendar I got for her for Christmas. She gave me two postcards from a collection of hers. Had lunch with Suzanne, and gave her her birthday gift. Always a … Read more
Love that date: 01/02/03 First day back to work was uneventful. Asked Mathis about applying for the HR Diversity position, and surprisingly, he said go for it. When I went to apply, I found the requisition closed already. Disappointing. I will apply for the ISO auditing position tomorrow or next week. Had lunch with Courtney … Read more
