Lunch with the Boss
Dear  [Lynn],
Had lunch with my boss today. He asked me not to write too much on my performance appraisal (due next Tuesday). He said that a good opinion of me already prevails in his mind and that I should not waste time trying to convince him of my goodness. 
Anyway, we went to that Indian restaurant that I visited last Thursday, and stuffed ourselves, talking about the team and the current vision of where it is headed. He also told me that Linda, one of my coworkers would like to take over the product support from me. She’s sort of burned out right now and would like something a little less challenging to work on, while I need to take on more challenging spots to justify the next promotion. So, I might end up spending some time over the next month, teaching her about our applications. I saw her today, and she was asking several questions about it. So I may be able to move on.
Had a couple more meetings today. Highly productive.
Looks like I’ll be heading for the airport this Saturday at around 2:00 PM. The plane leaves for Philly at 4:15 PM, and arrives there at 5:35 PM approximately.
Tom
