Janet called from her cell phone at 10:35 asking me to cover for her at the EAGLE DNG table in the Tier Complex for about 45 minutes. She was on her way to a doctor’s appointment. I got to the Tier cafeteria right at 11, and the tables for the DNGs hadn’t been set up. … Read more
The TIGR meeting was uneventful this morning. The “Foundation of Competencies” meeting in B500 during lunch was a bust. It turned out to be the exact same session I attended in Orlando at the MPIT conference a couple of weeks ago — same presenters and all. I left after about 15 minutes. I met with … Read more
I had a good day today. I finished a month-long outstanding action item in time for my 1:00 meeting, which was well attended by the 2nd lines, with BT, Mark, and Helen on the call. I called the girl who hit my car on Saturday at Artsplosure. “Hi. This is John Martin. You hit my … Read more
Robert and I had coffee and breakfast on the porch at “the bar.” It was quite nice. Thank goodness for the umbrella, because even at that hour, it would have been too hot in the direct sun. Robert packed up, and on his way out, offered to take my watch with him to get the … Read more

I met Robert for lunch at the CPK at SouthPoint and we had a great lunch. He used his $25 gift certificate for good customer service from UNC. I stopped at the Rec Center on the way back and bought two covered pavilion seats for Tim McGraw. We had the first of the PM/RM Meetings … Read more
Work was good today. The TIGR meeting was interesting with a demo of two tools to help us track non-Global Campus education. Jason organized it. I like him. I made a couple of editorial corrections to the new series of Will & Ned posters, and sent them to Jacci to champion for a US HR … Read more

I basically related the note I sent to Renee to them. The Process meeting was short, but went well. Alan did not attend again, and afterward, Candie discussed with … Read more
