elusiveness
So I heard back from Mike today. He's hit some more bad news with his family. His ailing aunt had passed away and Mike had spent the latter part of the last 3 weeks dealing with it.
He was still elusive about his marital/parental status, but the topic was not avoided. His exact words, "Anyways I also cleaned up some things in my life that were not straight so I can more or less try to do something stand up for a change."
I told him that we'd chat when I get back from Puerto Rico because I had tons of questions.
I can't wait to get some answers.

on the job
It's deathly quiet in this place. All I can hear is the hum of the computer fan. I don't equate quietness with lack of anything to do. Quite the contrary. People in their little corners of the office are busy working away. Even I have been busy the last couple of days learning stuff.
We had a team lunch yesterday with our clients. It was 4 of us from NCS and 4 of them from Novartis. One of those 4 was my old boss, Pete, who pretty much got me this job. It was silly from the start. I don't attribute the silliness to the 3 bottles of wine that were on the table.
Anyway, the introductions went well and there was an overall good feeling about the project.
Today I'm writing up a document that will outline how all the change requests are going to be done with me on the job. That seems so funny to say.
