Back to work, catching up my blog, calendar updates, and coffee w/Joe @ Caribou…

~Monday~  I decided to work from home this morning up until my 11:00 meeting at the Avent Ferry Technology Center (AFTC). That made more sense than catching the bus into my office, staying there for about an hour-and-a-half and then catching another bus to the AFTC. When I sent an email to my manager to … Read more

Not a busty blonde, a 50% more haircut, never sausage a thing, and quality time with my cousins…

~Friday~  I dragged my butt out of bed at 6:00AM, stumbled to the kitchen, poured myself a cup of ambition, and only then realized that I was not Dolly Parton. By 9:00, I had several of my work tasks done, as well as a load of laundry. The joys of working at home. I met … Read more

Working boxers, a detailed diagram helped, a TWC customer service NIGHTMARE, a workout, & drinks…

~Friday~ I worked from home today, and this is what I said about it in a Facebook status update: Most of my day was consumed with editing our organization’s annual report to the chancellor. Late in the morning, I got a response from gotriangle.org regarding their erroneous sign that I discussed in Monday’s blog entry, … Read more

Worked from home, Friday the 13th ruminations, the legendary Bill Padgett’s place, & staying in…

~Friday~ I gloriously worked from home today, so no buscapades. It was so nice to be able to do a load of laundry “in the background,” while I worked, and to be able to finish up my deviled egg dish during lunch for this afternoon’s party. It was nice to have the accoutrement to do … 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

Working remotely, teeth so clean I could eat off them, and meeting a pole dancing instructor…

~Friday~  I was grateful to be able to work from home today. I rode over to the Avent Ferry Technology Center, across from the Mission Valley Shopping Center for an Office of Information Technology University Awards for Excellence meeting from 10:00-11:00. I continue to feel professionally affirmed with this group, which of course makes the … 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

Working from home, blogging best practices, judging, and free pizza at the gym…

~Monday~  The university was on a noontime opening delay today, but our manager sent an e-mail last night saying it was fine to work from home, of which I took advantage. I left my house at about 1:30 just to give myself plenty of time to arrive at Tompkins Hall for my 3:00 presentation to … Read more

Bus-riding rule-breakers, bus cards don’t open doors for you, and Coco Before Chanel…

~Friday~  This is the first time I’ve seen the bus do this, as I’m pretty sure it’s “against the rules”: There was a family—father, mother, and child—waving at the bus right smack dab in the middle of two stops, and it stopped and picked them up. Li’l Dino boarded this morning and sat up front … Read more

An airport run, Friday Latte & lunch, end of work party, and staying in…

~Friday~ I worked from home today so no bus to capade. I dropped Robert off at Terminal 1 (US Air) at 8:40 for his 9:40 flight. He’s spending a long weekend in Madison. I met Kim, Anna, Sarah, and Brad at Helios for “Friday Latte,” where we proceeded to have conversations compelling enough that a … Read more
