Rise at 6:30, shower and sit. Slept reasonably well last night, so the breath-right strips seem to help. More of a struggle rising this morning. Something about being here that makes me want to stay in bed all day.
In to work by 8:00 and sit with the other team lead to discuss tomorrow's audit. No real surprises, but a few items I need to attend to. One other morning meeting to address additional storage for one of our systems, then a quick lunch from DiBella's (excellent subs, tuna on an everything roll, chips and a pickle). Early afternoon meeting with my manager. He's struggling with a number of things, including my impending departure, and I think he's really feeling the pressure. He's been good with me so far, but I wonder how he is with the rest of the team, and how things will go in another month when the reality of things crash in. We review my mid-year (rather pointless) and my 360° feedback (useful for my going forward). Also discuss other things in the pipeline, and decide to put of a planned whole-group meeting until December. This is the dichotomy of the situation: he needs me to continue working as if I were still employed, but doesn't seem comfortable with me doing work that is "future" oriented.
Some necessary proposal work in the afternoon, followed by some clean-up for the audit tomorrow. Being away for a week put me behind on this, but things are what they are.
Ran some errands to get small items that I needed. Took an inordinate amount of time to find a shoehorn. I remember growing up having literally dozens of them around the house. I finally found one - it looks lie a jockey whip, so I got to walk around a mall carrying what looked like an S&M implement while doing my other shopping. Pretty amusing actually.
Dinner at the Lonestar again, salad and artichoke dip. Back to the room, a quick chat with Lisa, then to bed.
