Comart Board meeting after early personnel and payroll preparation as Diana takes the family to Wickstead Park and the older ducks lay eggs
For the last two days, the thermometer range has been 58 to 86degF maximum and, whilst I still mistrust the higher readings, there has been no doubt about the warm moist weather. It has been trying to rain, with overcast skies, but no real rain has resulted and a thunderstorm is well overdue. The pressure has risen to 1019mb but it is not clear and sunny.
A busy day today, clearing the remaining personnel reviews first thing and running through the new personnel organisational charts and outstanding vacancies. After a hectic search through the mail, I enter the boardroom knowing that June can ready the payroll information. An unfortunate tussle with Ian first thing. He is upset that I was asking after him yesterday afternoon and does take offence so easily. He seems more composed, however, in our Board Meeting and we conduct business efficiently until 1.30pm. Financial and Sales results look very good. Concern over stock and debtor control but interest and pleasure over the new financial cost centre reporting. Arrangements are well in hand for discontinuing Tandon disk drive components due to poor quality and Cromemco representation for simplicity. Tecmar is already terminated and Comart are well set to concentrate on manufacturing operations.
Today Diana and the children visit Wickstead Park and Daniel was particularly taken with the ‘anti-gravity’ machine that rotates and suspends its occupants in mid-air. The ducks are steadily laying 5 eggs per day and we eagerly await contributions from the second generation.
