SHORT DOGGIE TODAY--- I HAVE MUCH PAPERWORK GATHERING TO DO. STARTING WITH THE INFIRMARY BUILDING, SOME GRANT WRITING, AND LAWYER STUFF..
IN YESTERDAYS DD I TOLD ANYONE WHO HAD ANY ISSUES FOR THE BOARD TO SEND THEM IN 25 WORDS OR LESS..
AND I GOT A FEW... TO BE READ AT THE BOARD MEETING...I PRINTED THEM ALL SO I WOULD BE OFFICIAL.
COUPLE ACTUAL SUGGESTIONS ABOUT CAPITAL PROJECTS,A FEW TELLING ME HOW WONDERFUL WE ARE
AND ONE TELLING ME WHAT AN SOB I AM.
THE BOARD HAD ONE COMPLAINT WHICH THEY HAD RECIEVED - WHICH WE ADDRESSED- IT WAS SUGGESTED WE CHANGE SOME OF THE WORDING ABOUT HOW TO MAKE A COMPLAINT... AND THEN WE ATE PIZZA.... AT CAMERA MARK'S HOUSE.
*******
THE CONTRACTOR IS DUE HERE AT 8AM--- HE THINKS THE TOWN HALL WOULD PREFER AN OFFICIAL "SET OF PLANS" FOR THE INFIRMARY BUILDING...... AS OPPOSED TO MY GRAPH PAPER WITH LINES---WHICH IN THE PAST HAS WORKED FINE....I SAY "THE CONTRACTOR"... THIS IS THE GUY WHO ACTUALLY OWNES A WHOLE BUNCH OF HUGE EQUIPMENT--SOMETIMES CONTRACTORS ARE ONLY SOME GUY WITH A PHONE BOOK OF COMPANIES THAT ACTUALLY DO THE WORK.-- I CAN SKIP THAT PERSON-- SURVEY HAS BEEN DONE... HE-- JEFF--AN D I HAVE WORKED ON MANY PROJECTS TOGETHER IN GETTING SDP PUT TOGETHER THIS FAR... THINKS HE CAN GET SOME PAPER PICTURES TO SATISFY THE NEW BUILDING INSPECTOR.
WHILE TOTALLLY UNDERSTANDING MY GRAPH PAPER...
*******
THEN ANN AND I WILL DO BATTLE OVER WORDS IN 2 THINGS --- A REPORT AND A GRANT PROPOSAL...
THE OFFICE -- AT EXPLORE-- WAS HEARD TO SAY " IF YOU DO ENOUGH IN PUBLIC, YOU ARE BOUND TO HAVE SOMEONE TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE ALL WRONG. IT MEANS YOU ARE AT LEAST DOING SOMETHING."
HOW TRUE.
****
AMONG OUR CAMERA PEOPLE, THERE ARE A FEW LAWYERS-- RETIRED OR OTHERWISE-- WHO CHIME IN ABOUT VARIOUS THINGS AROUND HERE.. I VALUE THEIR OPINION EVEN IF IT IS FROM IOWA OR ALASKA..- SO TOMORROW BUD IS DRIVING ME TO BOSTON TO MEET WITH A LAW FIRM FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR US TO COMPARE OUR GATHERING PILE OF PAPERS.
2 MEN IN THE FIRM HAVE ONCE OWNED DANES AND THEIR WIVES WATCH OUR CAMERAS SO THEY OFFERED THEIR SERVICES.
*****
THE NEXT PROBLEM IS -- THEY ARE ON THE 18TH FLOOR--- THAT WILL BE AN ELEVATOR.....
*****
AND NOW--- FOR THE VOMIT REPORT...
APPARENTLY A PUP IN KENNEL 10 HAS CHUCKED UP 3 TIMES IN THE PAST ½ HOUR-- SO PAM HAS GONE TO GET HIM UP TO THE HOUSE SO WE CAN WATCH HIM...
*****
NOW ISN'T THAT INTERESTING???
