7:45am, and I've already written presentation material for JL regarding our proposal selection process.
Yesterday was an improvement for me over Tuesday, certainly... in our morning telecon about the Spanish deployment, my equipment arrived safely in Nerva. Their net connection is up, so I will be able to stay in touch from the field. I bought a GSM tri-band cellphone and Spanish SIM card with project funds, then had lunch withpatgreene... we were both stressed and a bit cranky, but we were civil. I'm glad that she asked me :-).
After talking to the AERcam and Robonaut folks, visiting from JSC, I headed up to SF during rush hour (eep!) where I metrosefox and went over to SFSI to hear Isadora Alman talk about "We've Got to Talk", tips on asking for things and on making difficult communication easier. Usually she lectures to larger groups -- but we were just nine people around a table, so there was more sharing and open discussion. No startling revelations, but it was a useful reminder of some of my communication goals. rosefox also had the chance to meet some of the people that will be doing SFSI interviews and training later in the fall... she should be a shoo-in (smile).
After I turned left on a green light and nearly hit a oncoming motorcyclist (I'm used to green arrows and protected turns outside of SF, sigh... thank goodness for enough horsepower to get out of the way fast!) I hung out at House Dreamland for awhile after bringing Rose home, and talked about accents and medical coverage... and de-stressed from the near-miss. Then headed home. Then fell asleep at the computer, trying to do JL's slides ;-).

Date: 2003-09-11 05:57 pm (UTC)hey, I was wondering if you got a couple of emails that I sent you in the past couple days?
reason I ask, is that I've heard from a couple poeple that stuff they're sending to my inbox is bouncing. I also noticed that
oh, horror!!
just wondering, cause it seems like maybe something's amiss with my email.
