Tech Council Meeting Day

And so we have another Tech Council Meeting day today. But before any of that, there is Johnnie drop-off at Penmar Camp. The only bug I have about this camp is that they are supposed to wear camp shirts and they gave him TWO. Which means I have to wash those dirty shirts in the middle of the week so he has something to wear. And they're just a tad larger than even I would get him to wear. Still, if that is the only complaint I have then I will happily take it. I was glad to hear him talk about a couple of the kids at camp afterwards, which means he is getting to meet them at least, and playing with them. I don't think there's going to be bouts of homesickness this time around. Anyway I still had the Minutes of last month's meeting and the agenda to do plus the Data Analytics Team Meeting in the morning. The first 2 I got done even before I got started with the team meeting. I did realize though that I did bring up a couple of things at the last meeting but I never got around to following up. I'm starting to do that more often, wait until the last second for a bunch of things. At least the powers that be hadn't really noticed and I suspect they weren't all that eager to get going with the homework items I brought up last time. Funny about this group, Barbara in particular seems to focus on the minutae, or at least things that a CEO should simply delegate for people like me to look into. Case in point I brought up the list of the heaviest users for TEAMS and Sharepoint. A couple of temps came up on TEAMS which basically drew a yellow flag for everyone. Sharepoint was even worse as the most active user by more than 20000 activities was a person whose last month was this month. Admittedly, that would have drawn a yellow flag for me as well and so I had to spend time with how I would be handling warnings of this nature in the future. It couldn't be that I would have just said, I will pass it on if we find that there is inappropriate activity going on, as this one  inevitably is about. Yes the person might be leaving, but then again, that is probably a good reason why they would be moving files and deleting them from the original location. I will admit to being irritated a bit by what I perceive to be misguided attention. Then of course I did bring up what was going to happen with the EHR team that I am about to take over. I asked because I didn't know. I was soliciting opinion. None came really. I guess it's one more team I have to straighten out. 

We weren't done after the Tech Council Meeting, there was the OCHIN quarterly meeting afterwards. And so by the time these meetings were done and I went off to get Johnnie it was already 3:30. Fortunately they do give the kids a snack at that time and so you see the pic with him clutching and munching a bag of potato chips. And then when he got to the apartment he was his bouncy self. Literally. He got on the trampoline and was sweating again in no time. I didn't care really. I was glad  he had something to occupy his attention. I was tired after that last meeting. It was breathe out time and I didn't really have much energy to keep up with Johnnie. Which is why I'm thankful for the Wild Kratts his latest binge show. He can learn about all the creatures he wants while I mentally focus on other stuff. Actually tonight for me there wasn't much other stuff to focus on. I was mentally done by late afternoon and so the focus was simply on getting us dinner (of course at Panda Express) and getting my steps in. Yesterday, I hadn't even passed 2600 by late afternoon which reminded me times in the past when I still worked at the FRB and wouldn't really leave my desk much until the later part of the day. Same yesterday. And I still managed to breeze past 11,000+ steps and get almost 60 active minutes in. If I weren't doing that I was happy to just crash on the couch and watch whatever Johnnie was watching. That is, until 7 PM when it was time to give the dog his once a week bath in my place. She is much more comfortable getting a bath from me these days. And her hair is much longer than even a month ago which meant that it would take longer to dry. But dry it did, and when it did, she smelled so nice. I tried a new sleep configuration actually, with her sleeping on the old futon I don't use anymore next to Johnnie on his side of the bed. At least she isn't looking up every single time I move. Anyway it was a decent Tech Council Meeting today and it was a good day. Another one under my belt...
