131008 -
131009 - We seem to be loosing a weeks worth of progress every time we print.

321202 - Gensler's Direction for MW to Record KH Coordination is Incorrect

321205 -
321206 - Para 2 reports that on 981116 he learned for the first time, when he
321207 - arrived at the project office in the late aftertoon after jury duty,
321208 - that Gensler had assigned Michael Foegelle with Kwan Henmi to do the
321209 - notes for the Mechanical meetings and Steven with Michael Willis
321210 - Associates to do the notes for Structural meetings. ref DIT 1 3483
321211 -
321212 -      This report seems to conflict with the record on 981119 that
321213 -      Michael Foegelle was unaware he was shown as co-author of the
321214 -      record on coordination with the mechanical consultant on 981112.
321215 -      ref SDS 43 4132
321216 -
321217 -      If he was "assigned" by Clonia, as Robert indicates, it would
321218 -      seem he was aware of having participated in preparing meeting
321219 -      notes, and so would not have been suprised that his name appeared
321220 -      as co-author.
321221 -
321222 -          [On 981201 I talked to Robert about this.  He indicated his
321223 -          choice of words was too hasty.  He intended to say that he
321224 -          was initially told by office rumor on 981116 that Clonia had
321225 -          assigned Michael to help prepare meeting notes, but later
321226 -          learned from Michael that such was not the case.  That is why
321227 -          he says the entire episode caused confusion and delay.]
321228 -
321229 - He says Gensler's management causes confusion, and has doubled the
321230 - work on meeting notes since he was already working on them and was
321231 - going to issue them on Tuesday, 981117. ref DIT 1 1020
