reports.\u00a0 She had acted somewhat distant all day but I thought her mood was probably caused by her dislike of doing the report.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I had made several mistakes of omission, since the Miclu and Galbraith jobs were complicated but had corrected them all.\u00a0\u00a0 Another little point arose concerning the Miclu does and I made a mild inquiry as to whether it had to be done today.\u00a0 It was about 4.15.\u00a0 This set off a diatribe from Dor.\u00a0 She complained about my lack of diligence recently, implied that my efficiency let down at the beginning of the week at the end.\u00a0 She did not have much sympathy \u201cwith my need for more test.\u00a0 If the work comes in it had to be done.\u00a0 If I didn\u2019t do my share,\u201d I\u2019m the one who\u2019ll have to do it.\u201d\u00a0 She thought I was bored with the work and speculated that it might not be as exciting as my experiences in foreign countries and differed from teaching.<\/p>\n I was quite shocked at the venomous nature of her remarks but tried not to respond much, except to say that I had not felt well (I didn\u2019t say anything about her heavy smoking which she should know prevents me from recovering from my respiratory problems.\u00a0 I took care of the correction on the Miclu job, went to the bathroom to prepare for leaving.<\/p>\n When I returned, Dor immediately apologized for what she had said.\u00a0 She had known she had made a mistake as soon as the words were out of her mouth.\u00a0 She did not, however, withdraw her statements, beyond saying that there are always 2 sides to everything.\u00a0 Again I tried not to carry on the discussion.<\/p>\n Took the bus to the Coop.\u00a0 Bought an ice cream cone.

\nAfter getting my time card in, I had hoped to be ale to type straight ahead all day on the Venezuela contract and to finish it.\u00a0 But problems and interferences arose all day.\u00a0 Phil Bernal wanted a contract put on ATS today.\u00a0 I told him he\u2019d have to find somebody else to do it or ask Galbraith to give him priority.\u00a0\u00a0 Otherwise I\u2019d have to go to Betty Vasil for a resolution.\u00a0 He got Kate Walker to do it but didn\u2019t have it ready for him to start until mid-afternoon.\u00a0 Some more changes had to be made in Milu\u2019s contract and the page numbers for the index put in and an express print-out ordered and Nicki Maras didn\u2019t have time to do these.\u00a0 I started just before noon and spent nearly an hour on the job.<\/p>\n
\nAwoke at 9.00.<\/p>\n

\nRita woke us up at 7.15.\u00a0 I helped Sister Mercer and another woman to the Temple for breakfast.\u00a0 The line was very short, but grew much longer. I got food for the Mercers.<\/p>\n
\nI expected Dor to phone in today but none of us heard from her.<\/p>\n
\nTyped all morning on Bernel\u2019s contract, as much new material had to be inserted.\u00a0 I had told Betty Vasil I might have to ask someone for help but by noon I thought I could handle it myself.\u00a0 Later on I found that I was not aware of one big section which also had to go in.\u00a0 Fortunately no one else was working in the room in the morning.<\/p>\n
\nOn getting to work I telephoned Edna and confirmed to her that I expected to be able to spend the week of 15 August at the family reunion.\u00a0 She will order the ticket from there.\u00a0 I will try to call the other sisters.\u00a0 I expect to leave Sunday night, the 15th, and return on Saturday night the 21st of August<\/p>\n

\nWorked all day making extensive revision to documents.\u00a0 There are four in all.\u00a0 Detailing the provisions of Bechtel\u2019s retirement and profit-sharing plan.\u00a0 Most of the changes were those made necessary by recent legislation of Congress.\u00a0 We got the assignment through John Miclu.<\/p>\n
\nSpent the morning on the ATS making revision on the Thrift and Trust plan documents for Miclu.\u00a0 In the afternoon I made more revisions on the Inelectra contract for Galbraith.<\/p>\n
\nSpent most of the day on the computer with more revisions of Miclu and Galbraith\u2019s documents.<\/p>\n
\nGot up at 9.00.<\/p>\n
\nUp at 9.00.<\/p>\n
\nI arrived at the office earlier than Dor.<\/p>\n
\nGot up at 5.30 so as to spend a half hour on my journal, as I like to keep the quota of 4 pages every night.<\/p>\n
\nI finished the two items for James Hartt and checked over Maggie\u2019s secretary agreement print-out and took them to their offices.<\/p>\n
\nThough I had set the alarm for 6.30, I got up at 6.10.\u00a0 I was able to start for work earlier than usual, at 7.20 and got into the office by 8.00 even after picking up the print-outs at the computer center.\u00a0 Dor was on the elevator with me as she had got her son started earlier this morning.<\/p>\n

\nMarquita and I finished the documents we were doing for Mr. Haynes on purchase order language.\u00a0 I worked on it for 3 hours in the morning and in the afternoon he came back with corrections which took me another 2 hours.\u00a0 For Marquita, her part of the project on the MagCard had been very difficult, involving tabulation.\u00a0 She had succeeded in completing her part.<\/p>\n
