My morning started off with a flurry of activity. The first thing I noticed is that I left out my tub of cream cheese overnight. Damnit. It was a crusty and a little discolored this morning. For that reason, I decided to go upstairs to the complimentary breakfast, which I haven’t done at all, and … Read more
I woke up several times during the night, once around 12:50, again at 3:00, and again at around 6:00. I had a wake-up call scheduled for 7:00AM. The 3:00 wake-up was particularly annoying as I couldn’t fall back asleep for a while. I was having trouble breathing, having to breath through my mouth instead of … Read more
I woke up at about 6:00, fully rested. I got up and shaved and showered, and put on a pot of coffee, all before my wake up call came. I had a bagel with cream cheese, and a hard-boiled egg for breakfast. At about 7:30, I went down to the lobby and bought my lift … Read more
I got up at 4:00, and we left the house at 4:35. Robert was a dear and took me to the airport at oh-dark-hundred. I managed to carry my ski bag, boot bag, two suitcases, a laptop bag, and a “gift bag” in to the American Airlines line. I could have checked them curbside, but … Read more
I had a voice mail from Jon B. this morning, who is on the slopes of Tahoe already. He had his first day of skiing, and said, “I’ve had a great day of skiing — just finished soaking in the hot tub. I know my legs are going to be feeling it in a couple … Read more
I finished assessing all of the remaining issues in verifying state before my 1:00 meeting today. Yippee! That feels good. And it’s just in time to brag about it to my manager tomorrow in my 1-on-1 meeting with him. I got a walk in, at the lake, just before dark today. It was such a … Read more
I worked almost the entire day on IBM work — effectiveness analysis. Woohoo. I checked out my laptop to get it ready to take on vacation. I downloaded new AT&T Client software, which allows me to dial in should I need to, and I spent almost 2 hours downloaing f—– Microsoft Security Updates — 13 … Read more
Today was a blah day, with regards to the weather, and with regards to my feeling in terms of my health. I think I’m getting a cold — GRRRRRRR — with my ski vacation right around the corner. Damnit. I slept in. I wrote my Thursday and Friday journal entries. Steve and I had tentatively … Read more
I was hyper productive at work today. I got in close to 10 and left at 7. On the way home, I stopped by O’Mulligans. (I have “Oh’Mulligans” on my calendar. Is that how they spell it?) It’s over on Airport Blvd, in that same little area as Baby Moon Cafe and Remington’s. Anyhow, it … Read more
My manager called me to his office today, and told me what my annual bonus was going to be. OMG. Let’s just say that getting new skiis at the end of the season will not be an issue. I dropped off Courtney at the airport for the last time. Her “6-months” commuting stint is finally … Read more
