Random Musings
Woke up early this, not feeling well. Alan was up early also. I turned on the tv at 5:50 or so in the morning and what do I see - a TV ad on channel 2 (NYC) for my alma matter - Worcester Polytechnic Institute. An ad for a school in in Worcester, MA on NYC tv! It's probably cheap at that hour but still I don't think the schools known around here (25 years ago I got a brochure from the SAT mailing list and found it).
Looked at the new Gymboree holiday lines. Blech! Not that Alan needs very dressy holiday stuff, but I'm glad I've got vintage (older,brighter,cuter) stuff for anything that comes up around the holidays (office party, family party). I'll be just getting a few odds and ends with my gymbuck, but that's it. Of course I'm still sorting out way too many clothes for him.
Have a coaching session at work. Company speak for reviews/interaction on a monthly basis. Hope it goes ok. Everyone is supposed to get one, but I feel the manager doesn't know me that well since he became our manager in June. He wears a lot of hats being CTO and Q/A manager so we don't see him a lot. But he's focused on our product line unlike the last manager -- brought in from another office - trying to manage us (who were very upset about our manager leaving) and his own Q/A group (who have a nightmare of a product!) Fortunately, he left. Even when he was in our office, 1/2 the time he was on the phone with the other office!
