050901 - Telecon Tom/Caltrans on Communication Metrics Learning Curve
050902 -
050903 - Advised of meeting tomorrow with Ross Chittenden at Caltrans and that
050904 - I would like to call Tom from Ross' office for a discussion about the
050905 - learning curve Ross can expect to encounter for Communication Metrics,
050906 - based on Tom's experience at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
050907 -
050908 - I explained my prior discussions where Ross planned to call Tom on
050909 - 970911, ref SDS 3 line 108, about this subject, but on 970919 he
050910 - concluded, still without having called Tom, that Communication Metrics
050911 - would entail an extended learning curve and so he cannot take on that
050912 - burden, because he does not have enough time because he is buried with
050913 - too much to do already, ref SDS 8 line 108.
050914 -
050915 - Tom said we should call him closer to noon tomorrow, because he has a
050916 - call scheduled with Luster tomorrow at 1000 and it may take a few
050917 - hours.
