I rewrote some program code yesterday morning. Still need to test.
I went to a Career Development panel discussion sponsored by the Corporate Diversity group. The moderator asked each panelist how they identified as being diverse. No one identified as being Gay/Lesbian. There was one man on the phone. His "diversity" was that he led the diversity team in Cleveland. One woman said that she worked on lesbian/bisexual issues in college, but quickly mentioned that her diversity was being a woman married to someone who is from a foreign country. One probable lesbian said her diversity was that she was a female and pregnant. Grrrrrr. They later provided an online survey, so I provided detailed feedback.
Missed lunch due to the meeting. My boss called me over to her desk in the afternoon. Uh oh. Turns out she wanted me on some new project. No programming on my part, more project coordination. She said I'd be good at it, so I guess there's hope. She sent me a bunch of emails on it and we'll discuss it more today at 11am. Via phone, since she's telecommuting.
At 3pm, some network guy came over to work on my PC "for about an hour." I took that as my sign to go home. Grabbed some chicken at Cala and had that when I got home. I did three loads of laundry. Arthur left a message, so I called and talked to him about the new garbage cans. Steve didn't show up until around 6:30pm or so. He napped until 8pm. A late dinner, which is fine since I had chicken late in the afternoon. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. I couldn't arrange for a ride to Sunday's pool party. Can anyone give me and my fun, frisky buddy from NYC a ride?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Disappointed on missing Lazy Bear and then having to miss the naked pool party put me in a funk. The work situation didn't help either. I then got an email from someone who said they'd been a mainframe COBOL programmer for 22 years and they were laid off in May. I keep forgetting to buy lottery tickets...
Watched some boring PBS TV show that Steve had on. Then we played Scrabble. I was disappointed that I missed 400 by 5 points.
Slept ok. Back is still hurting. Noticed more homeless people than usual on the way to work today. I passed that blind dyke who is always yelling at her dog. Then more homeless people, including one at the bottom of the Muni stairs. Inside the Muni turnstyles, Jim Reid was campaigning. Guess he didn't actually want to be TOO close to the homeless guy. It said volumes. Maybe his idea to build tiny houses for them is his way of saying "out of sight, out of mind." Homelessness is a complex issue. If I had the powers, I'd reverse Reagan's doings and force the mentally ill ones back into institutions where they can get the care they need. After that, evaluate what to do with the other homeless. With so many crazies in the homeless population, one size does not fit all.
Lunch plans today with John S., Steve, and David.
