Steve Cole's day

Leanna and I got here at 8:30. Mike was less than a minute behind. What's up that made us all come in early this morning? It's going to be a good day as we saw a huge full-arc rainbow this morning, and a second partial rainbow. Petrick arrived on time. Closing this out at 5pm as I feel pretty bad and am going home to lay down.
==============
STEP ONE: ROUTINE FUNCTIONS
This is stuff I do every day.
- - - - -
PART A: Going through Email. The usual spam. Adam Turner about age of female on PD20Fed cover. GPA nominations for board of directors (I am not running). The stink about whether a certain printer is a good guy or bad guy continues to dominate GPA discussions. Paul Franz about getting Tholians into FCOL. Fix to PDFed by Gary Plana. Talked with retailer Darren Kehrer about some issues. Copy of emails between Leanna and wedding planner; they seem to have the cake and flowers under control now. Email to BGG about arrangements to attend their convention.
- - - - -
PART B: Checked the BBS. No flame wars. Maybe some progress on the rated ace thing.
- - - - -
PART C: Web crawl. Astronomy picture of the day. DVD rentals. Ebay auctions. Copyright violations. Server. Boardgame and sci-fi websites. Fed Commander Forum.
==============
STEP TWO: IMPORTANT "EXTRA" TASKS
- - - - -
PART D: Pending Mail. Didn't get there.
- - - - -
PART E: Worthwhile tasks. Did the new Hydran MSSB pallet graphics.
- - - - -
PART F: FYEO: Read a couple of days. Still behind.
==============
LUNCH: Chile Dogs.
==============
INTERRUPTIONS: Long conversation with Kyocera dealer about new contract. No real arguments; we're both trying to write a deal that does what we already agreed to do. It's about as tricky as a set of game rules.
==============
STEP 3: PRIMARY WORK
- - - - -
PART F: Prime Directive Federation: Started on surveys, but didn't get far.
- - - - -
PART G: Captain's Log #36: Jean's final fixes to the Input Guide article. (She's in charge of proofreading now, and she's getting picky about what gets capitalized and what doesn't.)
- - - - -
PART H: Omega Five: Petrick handed me three pages.
- - - - -
PART I: Federation Commander Briefing #1: Didn't get anything done.
- - - - -
PART J: Everything else. Consulted (last night) with John Schneider about miniatures (and again this morning).
