5.328 managing, reading

Thursday 10/24/2024

Took the standard walk in the morning, since I didn’t yesterday. Then went to the 11th floor and inspected the “mechanical room” there, where it is proposed we might keep a mobile tv. There is space, but there are several drawbacks that would have to be corrected. I took some pictures and wrote a judiciously-phrased email with pictures, to the relevant staff members.

I finished upgrading Romie’s iMac, wrote a sale info sheet for it, and messaged Mary Beth who runs the gift shop about it. She hadn’t answered by the end of the day. In fact, people not answering my mail is beginning to bug me. I wrote to Connie, who I think of as a writing peer and a friend, three days ago asking her to review an essay I wrote on the “pledge of release” idea. She hasn’t answered, nor answered my polite note that I sent this morning. Something is not right.

Did some reading for once, two long New Yorker articles that Joanne had xeroxed for me.

Went out at supper time and walked around California avenue instead of eating here.
