I assume your Beyond Managing email is what I should direct my colleague to? <br /><br />Unrelated, when on the website yesterday and today, I was looking at your "Taming the Work Week" and thinking that I need to re-read it. Work life is feeling very untamed. =)EarthSciProfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-10355216709296827822018-04-10T21:57:26.148-07:002018-04-10T21:57:26.148-07:00I'm happy to report that the 11 year old's...I'm happy to report that the 11 year old's birthday party was a success!

Particularly if I can answer them on the blog... but even if a private answer is needed.

My condolences on her passing. I'm sorry that I didn't express my sympathies earlier. I hope the memorial provided good time with family and to remember her. <br /><br />My grandmother died in November, also at 94. The steep part of her decline was a little longer than your grandmother's (a couple of months rather than weeks) and was really hard on my parents (who she lived with). The memorial events were good but her passing still doesn't seem entirely real.<br /><br />On another note, a colleague from grad school is taking on a project management role in a national lab-type setting. So I pointed him to your (beyond) management blog.EarthSciProfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29235839.post-19576367707822902302018-04-06T11:39:51.782-07:002018-04-06T11:39:51.782-07:00The party sounds fun!

When I was about 13 or so (could have been 14?) and everyone had started doing trips out for birthdays, I decided to have a more old-fashioned party at home, complete with party games. I remember being a bit worried my friends would think it was silly and immature, but everyone loved it and seemed to relish the chance to be kids again :)Socal dendritenoreply@blogger.com
