I started the day off on the wrong foot, or the wrong hand should I say. The wrong hand on the clock. I had inadvertently set my alarm for 7PM instead of 7AM. I woke up at 7:55, thank goodness, so wasn’t too late. I was dreaming that I had just missed the bus into … Read more
I read some of Swales today. No comment, which just happens to rhyme with “vomit.” I went to K-Mart specifically to get some workout clothes with NC State all over them. I need some new stuff, and I might as well look like everyone else down at Carmichael. I ended up with 3 t-shirts with … Read more
I worked a lot on my “Feedback Response” assignment today, probably much more than I needed to, but it was interesting, and it helped me brush up on my Dreamweaver skills. Probably, psychologically, subconsciously it was an aversion to starting the next reading of Swales. Can’t blame myself for that! Though the city of Raleigh … Read more
I had the grossest dream in history last night. I can’t even articulate it. I don’t want to articulate it. I just want to forget it. Where does shit like that come from? Donna instant messaged me mid-afternoon with, “Help! My colleague needs a recommendation for a place to take his wife to dinner tonight.” … Read more
Court and I got in early today. It was hard getting up this morning, as I only had four hours of sleep. I met Richard for lunch at Pipers in the Park. I had the Turkey Wrap again. I’m not thrilled about eating “off the program,” but I did get slaw instead of the potato … Read more
I arrived at the office of Drs. Gover and Gover at about ten till eight. I read the obituaries, and then the story on the front page about the guy who had been pronounced dead at the scene of an accident, put in a body bag, and sent to the morgue. As the examiner was … Read more
I got up at 6AM, and Courtney and I left the house at about 6:45. I wanted to have some time before my demo today to make sure everything was ready. As 9:00 drew nigh, I got my computer in the state it needed to be in to do my presentation, put it on standby, … Read more
I spent the work day working in the Tivoli Security Document Control library testing the demo “flow” for tomorrow’s meeting. We (Courtney and I) left work at 5:00. I dropped her off at the house, checked my mail real quick (got my W-2 form – yippee), and went off to class. Class was interesting enough … Read more
I read 45 pages of the required 92 of Swales’ Genre book for Tuesday’s class. OMG. Way too dense a reading. I had to read way more sentences and paragraphs over than I wanted to, and many times, even after that, I didn’t understand what I’d just read. Not to mention the tiny font size … Read more
I read most of the day today. Got ahead on 508’s reading for this week. I wanted to run a couple of errands today, but the weather was not pretty, so I stayed put. I met Joe, Richard, Ben, Dale, and Steve at Porter’s at 7. Actually, I was the first one to arrive. “I’m … Read more
