~Friday~ I took a sick day today, and went back to sleep after sending an email to that effect to my boss. I took two more Pepto-Bismol tablets. I woke up at 11:25 and downstairs adding the coffee to my coffeemaker, which is right under my calendar on the side of the fridge, I noticed … Read more
~Thursday~ I was into work early this morning, and I got a free all-day parking spot as a result of it. At about 10:10, I hitched a ride with my colleague, Sarah, over to the Avent Ferry Technology Center for our week Google Implementation Team meeting from 10:30 – 12:00. This is the one that … Read more
~Monday~ I was ready to head out at 8:05, which is about 15 minutes too early for the city bus, so I checked to see where the Wolfline bus was. The GPS service indicated, “Route not in service.” Oh yes, it’s that week after summer session ends, but before fall session starts, so only three … Read more
~Sunday~ I woke up and was surprised to see that it was a little after noon. Glorious weekend sleep. After making a pot of coffee, and preparing a whole grain bagel with some honey walnut cream cheese, I settled down with some country gospel music to read this week’s PostSecrets. Oh, it must be Sunday. … Read more
~Friday~ I was up at 4:45, and no, that’s not a typo. I left home at 5:15, and when I went to turn right onto Kent to head up to Western Boulevard, there were two police cars blocking the road both directions, and up ahead I could see a bunch of cop cars and a … Read more
~Thursday~ I went to the Mission Valley Bruegger’s where last week on the same day the customer experience I had made me decide to do something to recognize it. I was ecstatic when I walked in to see the same manager on duty again this Thursday, as well as most of the same crew. I … Read more
~Monday~ I am ready with my thank you to acknowledge the crew at Bruegger’s, so I drove there this morning hoping to find the same manager and most of the same crew working that was there on Thursday when I was treated so well. I went in to scope out the scene. The manager on … Read more
~Thursday~ I worked from 9:00 until about 10:15 at the Mission Valley Bruegger’s, where in spite of not getting the memo, it turned out to be “Gay Day.” There certainly were more of us there than the purported 10% average in the general population. I continue to be impressed with the management and staff of … Read more
~Monday~ I parked between the city bus stop on Kaplan and the Wolfline bus on Gorman in order to be able to catch either home in the afternoon. The ride in was remarkably uneventful, which is different than just plain unremarkable or just plain uneventful. I expected my boss back in this morning, as she … Read more
~Friday~ I drove to work this morning, where with no all-day free parking available, I took a two-hour spot and set my alarm for 10:35 to move my car. My work afternoon was much more productive than my morning, but hey, that’s all in a day’s work. A colleague and friend, David Ladrie, dropped by … Read more
