121922 -
121923 - Robert advised that the project does not provide support that can
121924 - draft the kind of transmittal needed for this matter.  He asked me to
121925 - prepare a draft, and to deliver it to his desk at Kwan Hennmi's office
121926 - by 1430 this afternoon, for his review.
121927 - ..
121928 - I gave him the notes for the meeting with Teecom on 981014,

121930 - okay, as is, to go ahead and include these notes in the distribution
121931 - letter for Gensler.  This aligns with the Project Summary on 981113
121932 - that reports Robert asked Gensler on 981111 to review the record of
121933 - coordination with the telecom consultant, and Gensler refused to
121934 - review the record. ref SDS 9 9360

160702 - Notify Gensler that KH will no Longer Meet with Clonia
160703 -
160704 - We discussed the prospect of submitting a letter to Gensler advising
160705 - that KH will begin meeting separately with consultants in order to
160706 - conduct professional business meetings that maintain progress of the
160707 - work, as set out in the analysis on 981113. ref SDS 7 1596

160710 -     and at, ref SDS 12 3915]
160711 -
160712 - Also on 981113 Robert's weekly Project Work Summary relates Gensler's
160713 - refusal to review meeting notes on 981111, which harms Kwan Henmi and
160714 - the client, as related at ref SDS 9 9360.
160715 - ..
160716 - Robert mentioned that Clonia's technical contribution is greatly
160717 - diminished by her refusal to explain instructions, and instead to
160718 - simply cite previous unspecified memos, which clarifies her role as
160719 - effective technical support in the analysis on 981113. ref SDS 7 1230
160720 - ..
160721 - There is an article in the Chronicle this morning on page A15
160722 - with following headline...
160723 -
160724 -     Kevin Shelley's Temper Gets Him in Trouble in the Capitol
160725 -
160726 - It state's in pertinent part...
160727 -
160728 -     By his own admission Assembly Democratic leader has been a
160729 -     terrible boss, ref OF 3 5520, due to a bad temper, ref OF 3 3174,
160730 -     and inability to cope with stress of the job. ref OF 3 1104
160731 -
160732 -     Misspellings or mistakes on a schedule could send him into a rage,
160733 -     resulting in disrespectful and ill mannered demeanor toward staff.
160734 -     ref OF 3 2703
160735 -
160736 -     Now, after an Assembly Rules Committee report on his behavior and
160737 -     a warning from the speaker of the Assembly, Shelley is promising
160738 -     to change his ways.
160739 -
160740 -     "You have to improve your performance," Shelley said the speaker
160741 -     told him.  "I can't continue to have you lose staff because of an
160742 -     uncomfortable environment in your office.", ref OF 3 7095,
160743 -
160744 -     Shelley...has a reputation as an office tyrant going back to his
160745 -     six years on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. and despite
160746 -     critical newspaper stories and the urgings of colleagues and
160747 -     friends, the 42-year-old lawmaker said he refused to change his
160748 -     ways ... ref OF 3 5112
160749 -
160750 - Similarly, the pressure of a difficult project may account for
160751 - Gensler's failure to meet minimum standards for professional
160752 - management, as related on 981113 in refusing to review meeting notes.
160753 - ref SDS 9 9360.
160754 -
160755 - As with the legislator the burden is on Gensler's leadership to
160756 - provide guidance and support for its project manager to improve
160757 - demeanor and the work environment, so that normal business can be
160758 - conducted in a cost effective manner.

1611 -
161101 - He has not received my response to his email on Saturday.  He talked
161102 - to Robert this morning, and understands that Robert is concerned about
161103 - making progress on Moscone, in light of the problem with Gensler's
161104 - project management reviewed in the record on 981113, provided to Bill
161105 - in my response to his letter on Saturday. ref SDS 7 2673
161106 -
161107 - Bill said he saw my email, but had not read it.  While we talked he
161108 - pulled it up for review.
161109 -
161110 - I explained the objective to submit meeting notes this afternoon.
161111 -
161112 - We discussed the concept of notifying Gensler that KH will no longer
161113 - meet with Clonia because of the problem that occurred on 981113 with
161114 - the A&P, mechanical consultant meeting. ref SDS 7 2673
161115 -
161116 - I mentioned the article in the SF Chronicle, per above. ref SDS 0 6480

Structural Meeting, 981015

1804 -
1805 - 1445 met Robert
1806 -   ..
180601 - He wants a few more edits on the notes for the structural
180602 - meeting held on 981111.  I offered to bring the edits to the Gensler
180603 - Project Office so he can get them before COB.  Robert wants them in
180604 - the morning.
180605 -
180606 - I mentioned the article in the Chronicle. ref SDS 0 6480
180607 -
180608 - Robert said he saw the article this morning.

1809 - 2215
1810 -
181001 - Entered Robert's edits.
181002 - ..
181003 - Robert wants to cite a previous meeting for para 5 concerning
181004 - elevator 7 and 8, where SDE is to develop support for stair to
181005 - elevator equipment room. ref DIP 4 3354 and at ref DIP 4 2967.
181006 -
181007 - This edit establishes possible impact of staff changes reported at SDE
181008 - at the meeting on 981111.
181009 -
181010 - What prior meeting discussed SDE providing support for stairs?
181011 -
181012 - This matter is in the SDS record for 981111 at ref SDS 5 2112.
181013 -
181014 - The meeting on 981022 discussed investigating support requirements for
181015 - cantalevered slab. ref SDS 1 6448  It is not clear that this is the
181016 - same as stair to elevator equipment room.  I think it might be because
181017 - it seems like there is a cantelevered slab involved in the stair for
181018 - the area.
181019 -
181020 - Robert did not mark it, but the coordination between SDE and FBA on
181021 - elevator 7 and 8, was also discussed at the meeting on 981022. ref SDS

181024 -
181025 - Printing Conflicts with On-line Display
181026 -
181027 - I had thought that printing output shown on a Web browser would be
181028 - straight forward.
181029 -
181030 - Turns out there a number of incongruities that make the process slow
181031 - and tedious when the goal is to achieve perfect printed material.
181032 -
181033 - Alignment on the screen in a Web browser does not directly translate
181034 - to the same alignment in the printed document.  The web browser has
181035 - floating margins.  The fonts do not display the same.  Text wraps
181036 - differently in the separate fields used by Gensler's meeting note
181037 - format, Discussion and Action.  The result is that when a document
181038 - looks correct in the Web browser, it does not look correct in Print
181039 - Preview.  Documents do not print the same as shown in "print preview."
181040 -
181041 - This makes the entire operation of producing professional printed
181042 - documents and also useful electronic web pages aimed at reducing the
181043 - need for printed material, highly time consuming and expensive.
181044 -
181045 - Many iterations are needed to achieve this objective.
181046 -
181047 - The objective of producing useful content begins to fade in relation
181048 - to obtaining a good appearance.
181049 -
181050 - The basic aim of technology should be to free the mind to concentrate
181051 - on content, by providing good appearance automatically. Unfortunately
181052 - the automated systems of HTMl and PCL are out of sync.
