Still not well, prodigal gym trip, TWC & Twitter again, and a celebrity quiz…

~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

The worst, but most loving thing; an uncracked CrackBerry; & TWC redeems itself via social media!

~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

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

A shining intern, “rope top” solved, a family affirmation, stick shift happy, and bar hopping…

~Friday~  I was up on time this morning, and I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus on Gorman up by Avent Ferry Road. I didn’t take any “buscapade” notes about this morning’s ride, so it was either totally unremarkable, or I was distracted reading Facebook updates on my phone, or possibly sleeping, on the … Read more

Endearing egg yolks, Diet Squirt, scar-on-scar action, car damage assessment, & Glee…

~Tuesday~  I left my house by car at 8:18 and just missed both the Wolfline #1 and #9 buses. I checked the buses’ GPS via TVS and chose the #9 stop, as it was next to come. As I waited, I realized that I’d forgotten my hard-boiled egg whites this morning to go with my … Read more

Snowflake-shaped ice, the leave-me-alone gods, +10 minutes a month, and imagining…

~Wednesday~  If you remember, it snowed here on Saturday. It’s Wednesday now, and it’s obvious by the snow still on the ground four days later, that I get limited direct sunlight in the front yard of my townhouse. This morning it was in the 19°-20° range, and when I got in my car to drive … Read more

Insurance issues and the back of the bus, people lessons, there’s George, meeting Ogun, & TPPN…

~Thursday~  I caught the 8:15 city bus with Hello Outdoorsy Driver at the helm. Sitting in my vicinity was a white guy in a wheelchair, a black guy sleeping, and a black lady two seats in front of me with a serious updo. A little bit down the road, the wheelchair guy’s phone rang: “I’VE BEEN … Read more

UNC CAUSE 2010—Day 3: Two final sessions, a sandwich lunch, a ride home, & dancing…

~Wednesday~  It was rough getting up this morning. I had my alarm set for 7:30, but got up a little before, and I was down to breakfast by a little after 8:00. I sat at a table by myself, since I was on the tail end of the 7:00-8:30 serving time, and the place was … Read more

Cloudy urine collection instructions, a priceless phlebotomist, a loving affirmation, & a road trip

~Friday~  I was up and logged in to work at 5:30 this morning, and I’d sent three e-mails by 6:00. At 7:30, I ran out to my doctor’s office to have some lab work done. When I walked into the bathroom where I was to “produce a sample,” my first thought was, “There really needs … Read more

Clickjacking, tabnapping, and laptop tracking, oh my; afterwork happy hour; & Kinetic Typography…

~Friday~  I wanted to catch a Wolfline bus this morning, as I was going to be running home after lunch from a meeting that was being held near one of the major Wolfline hub stops. Most of the kids on the bus this morning had some kind of light jacket on, as it was a … Read more
