updates on the work front.

Dell deal still imminent. Last hurdle seems to be clearing Chinese regulatory approval. Upon which they will absorb EMC and become Dell Technologies. The largest computer maker in the world!

I got a small, but totally satisfactory raise just the other day. and some cash retention bonus as well.

When my manger delivered it, by phone as he works in Chicago, i could tell he’s starting to internalize what I might do next.

He asked if I was still interested in sales and I said potentially I am. We agreed on a target manager and I set up a lunch meeting with him next week.

Coincidentally, just the other day,   Barb, formerly of EMC, reached out from her new company with a key position I may be interested in.

 

love this remake of Nirvana’s classic!

As I told Steph, “I can be myself around her”

Just downloaded Steph’s pics from Italy. This is my fav.

Sign prepped! Flowers in place! They’ll be here soon!

Couple more days till Steph and the kids get back. After 2 months on the road, I can’t imagine how they’ll feel being hone. Neat thing is they’ll even have Shay in tow. We just stayed at her place over in Asheville when I was there a week ago. Now she’s coming here for a week.

I think I’ll make them all a welcome home sign.

Our dear friend Zu’s dachshund was run over by a car just the other day. The dogs name was Otis. Her neighbor hit him as he ran into the road. He died instantly in front of Zu’s house.

I’m hearing all this 3rd hand. From Zu’s dear friend Austin thru to Steph thru to me.

Otis was everything to Zu. He’s how we met Zu to begin with. They ran into each other on the street. Jewish islander with a wire haired runs into Steph and our pair of weird wieners. The bond was formed instantly.

I drove to Zu’s house on Crystal Springs this morning. A couple days had passed so I hoped she’d be somewhat ok. I didn’t bring anything. I just figured I’d hug her. Unannounced, I knocked on the door. She answered. I hugged her.
