0505 - Summary/Objective
0506 -
050601 - Followed up work at ref SDS 8 line 28, ref SDS 7 line 24 doing the

0509 - Discussion
0510 -
051001 - Morris said he has six things to do today and he is concerned that
051002 - people may come into town who he needs to see for lunch.  He asked
051003 - what we are meeting about.
051004 -
051005 - I reviewed our discussion at ref SDS 8 line 33 re his development
051006 - process.  I said we can also discuss the Intel meeting notes, and work
051007 - on the SDS Windows project.  He said this is not Chips work.  I said I
051008 - have never met with him on Chips work.  He was concerned about the
051009 - amount of time this would take and that Chips staff might be reluctant
051010 - to come into his office if they see he is meeting with me. I mentioned
051011 - that has not been my experience.  In the past Chips people have
051012 - routinely come into his office while I was there.  Morris said a lot
051013 - of unexpected things occur during the day, so he is unsure about how
051014 - much time to schedule for me.  I explained my ability to proceed with
051015 - my work if he has to tend to other matters.  I explained tending to
051016 - unexpected issues is the staple of management.
051017 -
051018 - I suggested we consider meeting another time.  He wants to meet
051019 - tomorrow at 0900 - 1100 with understanding that if he has to take out
051020 - of town "important people" to luch, we will not have lunch.

0513 - 2044 Morris called back
0514 -
051401 - He said he has a meeting tomorrow at 1130, probably one of the lunches
051402 - he mentioned this morning, since he said the engagement is until 1330.
051403 -
051404 - We decided to meet until 1130 and if it appears helpful for us to
051405 - continue after lunch, I can work on other stuff until he gets back. If
051406 - we have pretty much run aground on our objectives, I will leave at
051407 - 1130.
051408 -
051409 -  ..
051410 - Bill DeHart & SDS
051411 -
051412 - I mentioned the possibility of trying Bill DeHart for his project
051413 - management effort because Bill offers the possibility to use SDS and
051414 - because Bill brings an experience of managing projects from PG&E that
051415 - has similar challenges that occur on internal projects at Chips.  His
051416 - political skills ref SDS 1 line 54, may solve some of Chips
051417 - communication problems, ref SDS 3 line 126.
