invest only $4.40 times 500 or $2750 per year and the shares wont be appreciating as fast as the previous ones. I was not inspired and enthused.

Then on Thanksgiving I did more accounting getting the book values for investments accurate and using Excel to present market values of investments. Very nice day even though I just spent it alone accounting. I went to Edgewater for dinner with parents and Emily. The rest of the break was spend on personal odd jobs finishing accounting and market evaluation gym and Mom and Emilys birthday Saturday Nov 30 (shopping and Wharf). On Sunday evening I helped Bob print reports showing budget for Dec 1985 and the first quarter of 1986.

The next week Starting Mon Dec 2 I worked on Wimp more studying flow of control to and from Windows via Symdeb to feel really confident that I understand Windows from a technical point of view. Tuesday evening I was really into finishing my accounting so after piano lesson I finally unraveled Henry Kuharics bill to me. I took Thursday to do odd jobs.

Friday because I had the options response and the check for the 3750 shares had cleared I finally emailed Bill my feelings that I should have at least a CPI raise.

That evening I watched the first part of Victor/Victoria on TV and went to Fredericks very late and then dancing at Neighbours. Sunday after the gym Bob and I dressed up and went to Bill Morgans crowded Christmas party and then to the Seattle Counseling Center for their charity auction at which I bought a $250 German Parlor table and various crystal and Porcelain. Good time.

On Mon Dec 9 I studied the new Works spec and finished Wimp dialogs in the evening so that I could distribute it at the design meeting Tuesday morning where the whole group (but not Bill) met. Tuesday afternoon I finally wrote up a note on why Personal Accountant cant help consumers. Wednesday morning I went to the first dental checkup since Aug 84 and in the afternoon I had a project scheduling meeting with Tony Bill Bader Ed Ringness and Jeff. I didnt contribute much and was unexcited.

Thursday morning Dec 12 I went to the gym and picked up the final 3750 Microsoft shares and put the certificate in the safe deposit box. In the afternoon I talked with Mark Moeller about testing. In the evening I took home and put away all my Pers Acct notes. Friday afternoon I talked with Jeff and Tony about testing. I couldnt WAIT to be done with that meeting and get away. That night was the Microsoft Christmas party at the Westin the first one I ever went to. It wasnt bad on coffee and Schnapps. Talked
