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
The day started off in a heartwarming way with Lynn W’s retirement breakfast. What a quality human being she is. Our EAGLE lunch, today, for March was at Mr. Wok’s at 54/55. I’d never been there, and it was quite good. Unfortunately, it was an all-you-can-eat buffet, which doesn’t mesh to well with dieting. I … Read more
I worked from home today. I had my now weekly call with Cassandra. I attended the Scanning & Basic Photo class at NCSU today. It was a good class, but way under-scheduled at an hour. It should have been 1.5 hours minimum. There were two folks on standby, of which I was one, and we … Read more
We had our TIGR meeting today, and during parts of it I just wanted to scream with boredom. I got a lot of work done in the afternoon. At home, I boiled some chicken, cut up the new head of lettuce, and made me another killer salad. I wrapped Nan and Jennette’s gift. I went … Read more
Alan joined the Process meeting today, though late, he was in a good mood. It was a good meeting today, because I actually pretty much only facilitated instead of doing most of the talking. Class was uneventful tonight. We went over the expectations for our brochure or newsletter due next Monday, and before class was … Read more
