A few things.

agent_daniOfficially have a consultation with Dr. P, scheduled for April 6. This is the other doctor (an endo, too) in the region who will prescribe HRT. I'm hopeful to finally get better progress as mine with Dr. H has been painfully slow - it's been an uphill battle with her to just get to the point where I get results and I know that if I were to ask for an increase it would be 25mcg/d (VivelleDOT/Estradot) as that is the only amount she's been willing to increase it for me.
Figured out something about my boss; he operates entirely on the negotiation method. The lesson here is to seriously pad my estimates, e.g. if it will take a week, start by saying it will take three, because if I say one, he'll try counter with one or two days, and half a week is the best I'll get from him. I may also want to try giving hours estimates as he isn't so willing to do so with those.
We ordered a lawnmower. We did have one, but it's a ZTR that will be complete overkill at the house we're buying (it made sense for the 2 acres in PA.) We went with a cordless electric push mower this time, the Neuton CE5. We'll be selling the ZTR.
I've had a considerable amount of work frustration of late. It really is microaggression crap - mostly petty, minor stuff that would be easy to ignore if not for the sheer volume and persistence (and that passive-aggressive crap really gets under my skin.)

Date: 2011-03-17 12:13 pm (UTC)I want to make them read "The mythical Man-Month" but I also am depressed they have no idea of the concept since its author works here (he founded my employer's Computer Science department.) Just as doubling the number of people assigned to the project doesn't halve the time, demanding that we work double-length days won't.
