A sticky credit card, a double workout, a disappunting ride to Durham, & a better Saturday night out

~Saturday~ I got up at around 10:30 this morning, and enjoyed a leisurely Saturday morning. I forgot to mention in yesterday’s entry about my stop by the grocery store to retrieve my credit card on the way downtown to Natty Greene’s. When I talked to them on the phone, they told me to just go … Read more

Bus carry-ons, snagged on @outagetracker, a Social Media Day meetup, and master punmanship…

~Thursday~  I got to the city stop at 8:16, and the bus arrived at 8:25. There were more students on the bus than usual, as the university buses are on a weird schedule this week; I think it might be between Summer Session I and Summer Session II now. There was a man on the … Read more

Back-of-the-bus straight boys, rhetoric at klatsch, an M&Ms meeting, and 8 hours of drinking…

~Friday~  I caught the city bus for the first time in a while, arriving at the stop at 8:17 and boarding the bus at 8:25. Hot Mess Driver was at the helm, and the temperature on the bus was warm, but not excruciating. A guy who boarded at the Gorman and Conifer stop took way … Read more

Medical specificity punctuation, dermatologically burning flesh, & a birthday mini-stroke…

~Wednesday~  I had a first-time appointment with a dermatologist who was recommended by my friend, Kevin (av8rdude). When I entered the building in which the practice resides, I was struck by a sign that reminded me of failblog.org‘s new feature called, “Oddly Specific,” which includes entries like: and I mean I’ve heard of pain clinics … Read more

Ice fishing, a live bird in the produce section, “straight” @ 5 yrs old, & a “day Girlfriend”…

~Friday~ I was counting on an 8:22 bus arrival this morning, since I got to the stop a little bit late. I checked the temperature while waiting, and I was shocked to see 19° on my weather channel phone app, but I just couldn’t believe it was that cold, so I checked wral.com/weather, which said … Read more

A snow delay day, a party pooper at work, a pun with pause, & Prudie snap-snaps…

~Thursday~ NC State University was on a weather delay today, starting at 10:00. I checked in with my boss at just after 9:00, which just made me nostalgic for “the good old days.” I was at the bus stop in time for the 9:45 bus, and although the CAT system website said that some buses … Read more

A sickday, a good weigh-in, Craigslist discourse, a belligerent bully bear pun, & bro’s birthday…

~Tuesday~ I woke up with a cough that felt like it sucked pure acid up through my esophagus, and a temperature of 99.7°, making me even more grateful to be able to work from home today. I was particularly pleased with my weigh-in this morning, especially with the overeating done this past long holiday weekend. … Read more

It’s okay to NOT talk, 37% cheaper java, abundance mentality, my own office, a comical pun, & SIGDOC

~Monday~  I had my alarm set to 7:00, which is when my doctor’s office opens, and I called to tell them I wouldn’t be making my 7:30 appointment to have lab work done, and rescheduled it for this coming Friday when I’ll be working from home. I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus in … Read more
