Huh. I guess it was a successful day.
Feb. 2nd, 2010 10:24 pm- I just finished my big huge meeting with me presenting to the big huge management guys (well, not personally huge, or at least not all of them, just high up in the company). I wouldn't call it a raving tearing success but it wasn't too painful either, which is really all you hope for. And the VP at whose bequest we were all meeting pledged full support (and pushed us to do stuff faster than we think possible, but that's what VPs do. (Not VIP, VP, as in Vice President of my company. Waaay up in management.) When I say "just finished", it is now 20 minutes after my bedtime. They all stayed an hour for what was scheduled to be a half hour meeting, so they took it seriously. But the timing is another reason I wasn't looking forward to it. Glad that's done - tomorrow for the mopping up.
- First thing this morning I got an extremely nice and totally unnecessary email from someone who is definitely a VIP in my little world.
- Right before the meeting I finished knitting my Rogue sweater, and though I couldn't knit during it (because I was running the meeting) I figured out how to do the tricky hood grafting. I'd never realized the knit-purl-purl-knit only works for stockinette, and I haven't seen instructions anywhere, but I figured it out structurally.
- My Toastmasters guess-the-accent game seemed to be a big success. I owe more detailed thanks to a lot of people in a lot of venues, so I will do those tomorrow.
Bed now.
