Lunch w/Myra, another math-related gift, working out, P2P flights made, and dancing…

I met my friend Myra for lunch today at Rockford. Myra is such good people. I love that she’s in my life. I had their Pimento Cheese sandwich, and Myra had their Roast Beef sandwich. When our waitperson enumerated the sides, I got “potato salad,” “black-eyed peas,” but didn’t quite get what the third option … Read more

iPod resurrected; more than a slice of cheese, less than a slab of meat; POA details, and dancing…

As my coffee was brewing this morning, I looked over at my iPod that’s been sitting on a TV tray charging for about three days, ever since I saw that the “call support” error in the display had changed to a “low battery” message. On a whim, I unplugged it, and turned it on. It … Read more

Worked from home, China trip gearing up, exercising, and some karaoke…

I worked from home this morning, and from Helios this afternoon. I completed Shruti’s edit on schedule today. I met Kevin (av8rdude) at the Bank of America (Kevin’s bank) at Cameron Village today to be a witness in the notarizing of a Power of Attorney of his. He needed to run by the post office … Read more

Worked from home, a raise-less year, a late workout, and delving into Chinese a bit…

I worked from home today, spending most of the day installing, configuring, and customizing a Lotus Notes database that I’m going to use for edit planning and managing. I had a four o’clock one-on-one meeting via telephone with my manager, during which she informed me of some personnel and project churn—no big deal, pretty much … Read more

Early to rise, editing, a neuroanatomist analyzes her own stroke, STC meeting, and exercising…

I was up bright and early this morning, and got right to editing. I also sent out a reminder that my request for the writers’ editing needs for 2Q08 were due by COB tomorrow, since I sent the request out last Friday and haven’t received one (from 20 writers) request back yet. I got some … Read more

China’s a go, phone meeting w/Nathan, synchronicity, exercising and editing…

I worked from home today. OMG! The P2P delegation has gone from 10 to 20 people, virtually, overnight.  It’s a go! In a very weirdly coincidental incident, I grabbed my latest issue of AAA‘s Go magazine, which has been laying around in one of my “piles” for, I don’t know, probably a few weeks now, … Read more

China check-up, exercising, our “yearly annual” HOA meeting, and dancing…

I had every intention of editing some today, on my day off, but it didn’t happen. A couple of developments on my Technical Communication Professional Delegation to The People’s Republic of China trip planned for October: I called them today to change my payment schedule, which I was going to pay monthly between now and … Read more
