Change of plans

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I wound up getting disinvited to the Board meeting today. Turns out they invited 12 staff people on top of the 50 or so Board members who were going to be there, and only had a conference room that holds 55 people. Since I only found out yesterday, and had nothing else planned for today, this turned into a free day to read all the stuff I’ve been pointing to this week. This is good. It’ll keep me from having to read it at home on my own time, which is espcially nice since Angela’s coming home today and I’m looking forward to being with my wife tonight, not reading about Service Pack 2!

    It’s amazing how few companies in the world will actually accept responsibility for anything. That PC still doesn’t work. I was in the office until 9 last night doing a system restore, bringing the PC to exactly the state it shipped in two weeks ago, and then, when the problem still existed, talking to HP…
