The morning started off slowly. I worked on journal entries.
Then Maggie brought in several resolutions from the Board of Directors and Dor gave them to me to put on MagCard. I tried to make a master card which I could use for all but had a great deal of difficulty. I was about to use the recorded heading only and type the rest manually but Dor finished the master for me.
She was working on a contract for Galbraith started yesterday. Later in the day some additional materials was received from Phil Becnel on the Consumers Power Ann Arbor Litigation.
Dor put Marquita on the computer to work on another litigation report. Marquita had trouble with it and when Dor attempted to instruct her, a flare up resulted and the two argued caustically.
I ate lunch at my old desk.
Most of the attorneys and secretaries have hid their offices and places of work changed.
When Dor was out of the office, Marquita told me she was very unhappy at work. She is willing to work hard but expects to have some opportunity to make friends and resents the way Dor “bosses” her. We tried to analyze Dor’s psychology.
After finishing the resolution for Maggie, I started an affidavit on the Sonatrach project in Algeria which had to be typed in both English and French.
I got out on time and was home by 5.30.
I slept for an hour.
