Holiday part 2011 Photos from the table I sat at – with Luisa, Kevin Ridout and his wife

Hugo Steemers and his wife; Jamey Graham and his wife from Holiday parties 2011 and 2012. (Hugo: “You should lie [to

future employers] and say that the budget for your position was cut.”)

Mary Beard and her husband and

Executive Secretary Machi same Holiday party. Julie to Mary: “I reported that my parents might be missing in 2007, and

I’m concerned there are some new developments, since they supposedly visited in April. My parents aren’t acting the

same as I knew them to when I was growing up. I want to take a leave for a few weeks. My doctor approved it.” Mary:

“If that’s your reason, then you can take the leave.”)

”Music and Lyrics by Ken Gudan”.

Julie: “Ken, could you please put it back to Music by Ken Gudan and Lyrics by Julie Hill?”.. Ken: [‘Nope’.] Ken: “I’m

charging IEEE for the wrong shipment and the shipping company for the one that went to IEEE.” Jenny Guo: “Ken came

to me and asked me to switch the invoices you created. I’ve already sent them out.” Kevin: “yes, yes. We’re keeping it

that way.”

KB: “We’re shipping our camera

adjustments back to Germany as a broken camera so we don’t have to pay for import duties.” UPS: “Is it broken or not?”

KB: “yes it’s broken”. Julie: “Dear UPS and German camera company, can you please refund us the $400 shipping import

fee, and how do we set up a way to ship back and forth for these inspections and/or adjustments without the fees every

time?” KB: “Don’t worry about all that, just say it’s broken.”

Photos of Holiday party 2012 – Peter Hart with Jamey Graham (“Julie, you Nazi. It’s supposed to be funny, Julie. It

“Julie has provided light refreshments for our meeting.” “Wow, those are really light. I didn’t realize they were going to

be so light.”

Another outing at Coconuts with Luisa after her retirement. Me: “these outings are really fun!”

May 7, 2016 1 am. “Loving the changes in the air. Birthday yesterday; Stanford’s Annual Pow-Wow today. I’m going to

be eating the Best corn in the world and fried bread to make Mormons in Utah jealous. Happy Mother’s day to all the

fabulous mothers in the world! We’ll run the roof….”

May 7, 2016 5:30 pm. “Uh-oh.” Los Gatos Police: “Looks like we’re going to have the Bomb Squad analyze this.”

Sold at one of the vendors at the Stanford Pow-Wow. Me: I bought it for the intrigue – somewhat of a collector’s item,

until I realized that it from a Russian being here, not a joke about Russians being here. That’s when I decided to take it to

the Los Altos Police.

Instant Stress. Me: “Glad we had that Sign-Test in Redwood City starting last year.” Me: “I think the Russians want the

Best corn in the world too!!” May 7, 2016 5:30 pm. “Uh-oh.” Los Gatos Police: “Looks like we’re going to have the Bomb

Squad analyze this.”

May 8, 2016. Me: “Now I’m stressed.” Instant frazzle. Hair dried out, un peu bloated. Here, trying to keep company with

the San Jose Fire Department near Santana Park.

May 13, 2016 Me: “these are like Christmas!!!” Me now: “It’s expensive not to!!!”

May 14, 2016: Giving Michael Anthony and the Russian dress my fly-ear.
