Exhausting all day Comart board meeting after lunchtime wine and then subsidiary planning with John before the boat engine fails to start this evening
Another warm day with the cloud keeping the day cool in the morning. First to complete signatures on company administration for filing; then to review the mail and touch base with Jaques Samuels on the Manufacturing Manager recruitment. All day to a Comart Board Meeting where the reports and discussions were arduously long and tortured. True we had missed a previous meeting and had twice the business. Also we had important issues to resolve such as the discontinuance of the Tecmar product range. However I cannot but feel that we made heavy weather of it and that lunchtime wine in good measure only served to make us more expansive and hinder progress.
We are disappointed that product development release dates have gone back and that it will take too long to release new operating systems. In the event I break off proceedings at 4.30 for half an hour back in our departments before agreeing to restart at 8.00am in the morning. This evening I establish that the new building negotiations are proceeding well and then home in deep discussion with John Lamb after agreeing subsidiary MD Job specifications and preparing the agenda for our Byte Shop and Xitan Board Meetings.
Tonight, boat preparation falters to the dark evenings progress and the engine refuses to start which is a problem for our weekend trip.
