Losing $395.52, oblivious bozos in line, and an incredible Idina Menzel & the NC Symphony concert…

~Thursday~  I drove to work today, as I wanted to be able to run to the post office during the day to meet the deadline of getting my NC Flexible Health Care Spending Account reimbursement submission post-marked today, as required. After one final check with my dentist’s office, I had to remove a significant—$189.00—entry, as … Read more

Much ado about a cell phone, sleepy bus drivers, lunch w/Susan, and an annoying dance night…

~Wednesday~  I was up at 6AM and down to the city bus stop at 6:45. When the bus hadn’t come by 6:54, I drove over to the Avent Ferry Food Lion Park & Ride (AFFLP&R), and when I arrived there found my cell phone missing. Thinking I must have dropped it inside my house when … Read more

Return of the NEMATOMOBILE, a D-I-Y car repair, prisoner work, exercising, coffee, & scareyoke…

~Monday~ I worked from home this morning, and at lunch time I headed over to Thompson Collision Repair to pick up my car. My first stop was at Enterprise to turn in my rental, and from where I received a ride to Thompson by a man who had a chauffeur look to him and was … Read more

A mess of a secret, a surprise Salon XX, and questionable entertainment…

~Sunday~  I slept until almost noon. Go me. I found three, count ’em three, PostSecret postcards compelling out of this week’s collection, all for very different reasons: For Three Misspellings and Atrocious Sentence Structure All in a 30-Word Postcard Because it Made Me Think of Something that I’m Having Trouble Articulating Here, so I’m Just … Read more

A mountain of paperwork, user task improvement by Google, and a long night of dancing…

~Saturday~  I was up at 9:30 this morning, after a wonderful eight hours of sleep. Oh glorious weekend. I spent a good portion of the day going through mountains of paperwork in preparation for two things: 1) submitting my North Carolina Health Care Flexible Spending Account (NCHCFSA) form, which has to be in by March … Read more

A fallen wall, a bus driver with a short little span of attention, a new morale low, & a workout…

~Friday~  As I walked down the short paved entrance into my townhouse area, I looked long and hard at this retaining wall to see if it had: 1) naturally eroded, 2) been vandalized, or 3) been hit by a vehicle. But in the end, I couldn’t draw any definite conclusion. Can you? I was at … Read more

Bus slippers, building appreciation, tax diversification & retail therapy, and my drag king friend!

~Thursday~  I checked my work e-mail on my phone while still in my bed. I had a request from my boss’s boss for a copy of some notes from a meeting last week that he wanted to look through before a 10:45 meeting of ours today. I caught the Wolfline #9a GV Tripper to DH … Read more

A well-rounded derriere, a foiled planning meeting, a red-eye photo, dinner w/Andrew, & dancing…

~Wednesday~  I parked at the Avent Ferry Food Lion Park & Ride @ 7:30 and caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus. The young man who boarded in front of me sported a high-and-tight and wore a yellow T-shirt that highlighted his biceps, outlined his pecs, and showed only a little bit of paunch—presumably obtained … Read more
