We had our weekly TIGR meeting today, which I called in for, but was somewhat detached during. There was more “complaining” than “sharing,” and I get tired of that fast. At book club, though Janet canceled at the last minute, we discussed our latest book, The Five People You Meet in Heaven. I brought some … Read more
My Monday meeting was well-attended by 2nd lines. Neither Alan nor Steve was on, which was to be expected. Rhonda and I got quite silly at times during the day, which is not anything new. I got rid of a couple of movie passes at work today. E-mail is indicating that the board meeting will … Read more
I met Jay, Wes, and Robert B. for doubles tennis at the NC State courts at 10:00AM. I warmed up a little with Wes and Jay, until Robert arrived. Robert and I played against Jay and Wes, and we had them 5-1 at one point. They won the next three, so we ended the set … Read more
I met Will for breakfast at 9:30 at the Carolina Bakery at Cameron Village. We had such a great chat, and it was really nice to reconnect with “the old Will.” He has decided to do the MS 150 in September, which is very exciting. He wanted me to share all that I had learned … Read more
I finished up the ITIM ISO pre-audit review with Dana a little after 11, and sent Mel a Sametime around 12:30 that I had been fighting a cold all week, and was going to go home and get some rest after lunch. He was cool with it. Before I left, Steve called me. “Honey, what … Read more
I sat on the panel today for the GLBT Education Module to about thirty managers. I always walk away from these sessions feeling like “this is one of my best days at IBM.” Even though I’ve done this several times now, it always gets your heart rate up when you’re actually addressing a room full … Read more
We had our final GLBT Education Module preparation call today, and it was “as usual.” I’m a little doubtful about the thoroughness of the handouts tomorrow, since Allan only found them at the last minute, and repro couldn’t deliver on the 2nd Will & Ned poster. Oh well. That’s out of my circle of influence. … Read more
Yay, it’s Tuesday — not Monday. No meeting to prep for. At the last minute, our weekly TIGR meeting was canceled. Yay again. I met with Dana D. all afternoon going through the ITIM project’s team room and documents in prep for the end of the month ISO audit. Lots of nonconformance potential. 🙁 Her … Read more
I met Donna and Vince for breakfast at Courtney’s. I haven’t seen Vince in almost ten years, we calculated. His goatee is gray. I had French Toast for breakfast, which was yummy, and they each had “the Atkins special.” At home, I finished the TCW minutes, and played too many games of Zuma. Robert laid … Read more
We slept in this morning. Robert served me breakfast in bed! Sweet! I had a bagel and a hard boiled egg, and some coffee. Mom called to say that she had called Mike about joining them at the VFW or the Moose for their cookout that afternoon. He accepted. She’ll give me a report later. … Read more
