2 July 2007 (Monday)

So, a staggered week begins (due to the 4th being in the middle of the week). Rise a bit late, as I was up a bit later than I had expected. One quick check of work e-mail finds another meeting reschedule for my first meeting, so I'll be in to work a little closer to the meeting that I might otherwise like. Short meeting in the end, as Thomas has another meeting that has been rescheduled. More meetings on global financials and the convoluted ways we deal with the global business. Reason is slowly creeping in to the organization, but not at a pace that can save me any time soon.

---------------------------

Out for lunch, and back to the office feeling a little groggy. Two afternoon meetings, one of which is a project kickoff meeting. I was pretty shaky, and my technical resource was just coming back from a funeral, so the meeting wasn't as sharp as I might have liked, but we got through it. I need to find some meeting resources and make sure that I get the most out of these initial hours of a project. The rest of the day spent dealing with some audit results and recalculating financial information.

Back home and really dragging. Lisa and I head out to do the bulk shopping for the 4th. Some beef, chicken and salmon for the grill. We were both so distracted that we forgot all of the non-perishable items we had planned on getting. This just means I need to jump into the fire tomorrow. Once home again, we do a little yard clean-up, move the new holly's up to where they will be planted (and out of the sun), do some watering and watch the poppers open. Finally, we pull all of the folding chairs out, hose them down and hit them with Nature's Miracle to see if we can drive out the mildewy smell from the shed. Some light computing and then to bed.
