I had this e-mail from Sarah this morning: Just a quick note to let you know that your email made my morning. As I am slogging through emails, yours was a lovely way to start my work day. I had an über-productive day, considering I didn’t “work” today. I got a lot of STC to-do … Read more
At 8:48, I tumbled outta bed, stumbled to the kitchen, poured myself a cup of ambition, and generally yawned and stretched and just tried to come to life. How original. I worked from home today, and had an interesting instant message chat with Mary Mahoney in Austin; I like her. Later in the day, I … Read more
I started my morning off at the Food Lion on Avent Ferry, where I did Service-Learning grocery shopping for today’s meeting with the Engaged College Leadership team, and a separate order for Patti’s lab and the outing to hear Linda & Millard Fuller speak this evening. As the day unfolded, I discovered that they either … Read more
Robert brought me coffee in bed, and then he made me breakfast. Love that man. So sweet. I met E-Ching and David at just after 12:30, and we made the two-mile walk from their house to K&W at Cameron Village. We entered the Disneyworld-like line that consisted, undoubtedly, of churchgoers coming, but with all the … Read more

Next I saw zy1125‘s comment about my Smoothie’s rant in yesterday’s blog entry: “Did you ever stop to think that perhaps … Read more
I worked from home today, spending the entire day editing Shruti’s document. I’m coming down the home stretch on it now. Yay! At about 7:30, I went over to Carmichael, where I had to park in the Coliseum Deck—obviously some kind of event going on in Reynolds with the amount of cars parked in the … Read more
I got up at 7:15, and was in the office by 8:00. I had my annual appraisal with my manager, and it all went as expected, which is the way it should be. I brought up my idea of becoming a totally mobile employee, and she had no problem with it, so I will probably … Read more
I forgot to mention a couple of things that I wanted to capture from yesterday, but that entry was long enough anyway. I know, “Aren’t they all?” But you digress… The first thing was with regards to being an editor for a living and how it makes me crazy some times. I just can’t stop … Read more
It’s My Turn to Follow Her Today http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/archives/008767.html Girl #1: Hey, remember that time you got laser hair removal for your lip? Girl #2: Stacy! Stop talking, there are people around! Girl #1: Oh, right, as though you will ever see any of these people again. Random Guy: Actually, I’m in her Computer Science class. … Read more
