The office didn’t get much new work. Maggie found some errors in her Powers of Attorney documents and I corrected those on the computer.
Dor brought up the question of supervisory tactics in an indirect manner, namely by referring to the problems of directing the work of Kate Walker and Frances Olson. I said as we get older we have a tendency to “get set in our ways.” Dor took exception to that explanation, insisting on her own adaptability. I gave her a few frank comments on my trouble Friday afternoon, mainly that she was too fast for me and that I wished time to benefit from procedures new to me. I explained my difficulty as a result of mostly a lack of visual imagery and physical dexterity. She was not very sympathetic but the air was cleared somewhat.
Bob O’Neill had told me yesterday that Valita Robinson was leaving. She has never liked working for Barney Johnson. Annie Malang is taking her job. Annie’s boss, Ralph Talbot is being transferred to Paris. Tom Thomson has already left for Kuwait.
I worked on journal entries, listed my expenditures for January and on the MagCard typed up my contributions to the Temple (except for small items such as bus donations and food purchases.)
Late in the afternoon, I got a request from Ron Hartsough for overtime work. I stayed 3 hours, taking dictation from him on a Calttex contract. I typed a telex and a draft and revision of a letter, plus some xeroxing.
Took the bus to Powell St. and ate at another restaurant featuring cheap steaks –paid $2.81. With my steak I had a baked potato, salad with Thousand Island dressing and buttermilk.
Got home about 9.15.
Typed in my journal from 9.30 to 12.00. Read newspapers.
Went to bed at 1.50.
