My 30-year employee's last day was today. She did tons of stuff, and I fear that this afternoon is the calm before the Monday s**t storm.
| @strawpoll: Yes. I watched the baseball series, and later listened to the books on tape during a nasty period of regular commutes in PA. |
|
| @CleverUserName: Actually, it was the purse of an 80-year-old woman. And I carry a European small men's carryall. |
|
| A pair of purse thieves were captured outside of my office this morning, and I missed it! That's it, no more meetings or bathroom breaks. |
|
| Ran a meeting marathon today; only 30 minutes with nothing scheduled. Time to rehydrate and cool down from the run. |
|
| Starting new term on my 4th board this Thursday. Got the new member packet today - a binder with all of the goods. Very impressed. |
|
| Fellow just rode by on his bike, singing to his music player so loudly that I could hear him through the window. Looked in at me and smiled. |
|
| Walking downtown to have lunch with my wife @ her boutique - first time without having to paint, pry or plaster after eating. |
|
| Got word this morning that sale of house might actually go through this week. Been in escrow for 90+ days (long story), but nearly done! |
|
| Pretty excited this morning, as 6-mo plans to host a service group meeting in the underground cellar at the Gallo Winery HQ are happening. |
|
| @SarahStelmok: Apparently so. Course, he did seem rather, well, small of stature. |
|
| Dude - probably 25 with his wife and toddler - just crossed the street on Heelies. I think 'pathetic denial of age' has a new definition. |
|
| Car just parked across street that is at perfect angle to sun to shoot blinding light into office. Nice Rembrandt lighting effect, however. |
|
| Long weekend of labor is done. Let's hope for lots of votes (for mom), and lots of customers (for wife). Back to real job tomorrow, to rest. |
|
| Today could be the last day of major prep work for wife's boutique. Hanging some final shelves, a handrail and moving some furniture. |
|
| Out and about in Stockton pounding stakes and putting up 4'x10' campaign signs for mom. Thankfully cool weather. 2 down, 8 to go. |
|
| Business today isn't getting faster due to e-mail; it is slowing. Is it me when I send simple questions and it takes DAYS to get a response? |
|
| It is a great time to buy a home in CA, and I just got word of a marketing director job at premier arts association in Modesto. Interested? |
|
| @robmcalister: Isnt that the same thing we said when moving from the last system to the current one (and from one before that as well)? |
|
| Dear American Idol: I like the show, really do. Don't care for the finalists (save one), but I hate ... HATE ... the opening group songs. |
