Drama rages on all around me.  Clients lost to competitors.  Just got out of a meeting where a procurement officer evaluating an RFP really wants the numbers in different places.  Apparently, I am supposed to be able to read their minds and give them what ever other vendor gives them.   Procurement is worried that the RFP proposal could become and endless pull on their resources.  Exactly how this is possible when it has a bottom line – I cannot figure out.  I just need to see some of these other RFPs to figure out what they are talking about….

I am a little concerned about business right now.  It’s painful to do all the work of selling, only to have the potential client select another vendor.  Problem is, the don’t want to tell you why they chose the other guy.  Trust me, I’ve asked.  Reality is that I just have to keep at it and find more potentials.

Kitchen is not yet finished and I’m not certain the contractor knows all that is still left on the list of “stuff to be done”.  We still need some cabinet replacements, a bar handle on the pull out trash/recycle area, screw coverings on the interior cabinets, one knob handle needs to be found, and there’s trim near the end of the cabinetry next to the garage door that must be put in place.  Add to that the need for a bit more filler in some places and I think we are done.

We still have a garage full of stuff, some of which will be transported to the new office.  Bad weather is on the way, so today won’t be a day I can consider starting a move.

I’m tired. Wish I were in a little bit better mood.  I get to meet the Chief Academic Officer for grandson’s school district tonight – to discuss all the nonsense of last week.  I am soooo looking forward to that.  Sigh.
