Joe called at about 10:00, and had decided to just wait for Richard to arrive to go pick up his car in the Flex parking lot. I spent the entire day working on my ME Project Web site. It was engaging, but took way longer than it should have. Oh well. I got to the … Read more
I spent most of my work day today doing my monthly highlight status report for March. Does it make sense to take a whole day to write up what you’ve done for a month? I think not. I did get it all “organized” though, to make it easier to report monthly for the rest of … Read more
What fun! This snippet was recently posted in our “EAGLE” (Employee Alliance for Gay & Lesbian Empowerment) discussion database at work. I love it, and the postings that ensued, on and off, over the next couple of days. April Fool’s Day, 1977 San Serriffe In 1977, the British newspaper The Guardian published a special seven-page … Read more
I wonder if Prince Albert has one. Heard on NPR today: “Prince Albert, who has never married, is the successor to Prince Rainier.” Late forty-something. Handsome. Rich. Never married?

In the middle of the TIGR Team Conference Call today, right after I spoke, I went to hit the “Handsfree/Mute” button on my phone, and hit the “Release” button (which disconnects the call) instead. I hate when that happens. Bookclub was fun today. No mention of books. But, that’s why we’re called The Mostly Social … Read more
I smiled reading “But I digress…” being used in the journals of at least two, if not three, people in our ENG 519 blogs. I spent the entire morning finishing up my Effective Analysis Summary document, and prepping for my 1:00 meeting, which went well. I stopped by the post office on 54 on the … Read more
Why does drinking always seem like such a good idea while you’re doing it? I woke up feeling a little less than stellar. The Urban Hiker folks responded to my e-mail asking why the June and July ’04 archives link on their website wasn’t working. They responded, with a copy of my story attached: “Here’s … Read more
I finished up Jeane’s taxes today. When I first opened Turbo Tax to continue where I’d left off about a month ago, I got some error, with a message asking me if I wanted it to restore the file in some way, to which I just clicked yes. So, I’m all done, and I hit … Read more
I had a very productive day at work today — finished the hard part of the effectiveness analysis summary that I plan to present at Monday’s meeting. I helped Joe with his resume today, and he finally got through it in spite of the gazillion computer problems he’s had lately, and again today. Robert and … Read more
