Birthday Boy…

Rhonda bought me lunch in the cafeteria. How sweet! I had sliced ham, mashed potatoes, and cabbage. Courtney and I left work a little after 5. She dropped me off at home, and she ran to Quail Ridge to return an audio book. She and Robert arrived at the house at the same time. I … Read more

National Coming Out Day…

There’s no one left for me to come out to. I had an 11:00 – 12:00 meeting with Becky, Dana, and Randy, which went well. My weekly 1:00 – 2:00 meeting also went well, with a lot of good sharing of information. I left work at 3:45 as I had a 4:45-5:00 appointment with Dr. … Read more

Quizno’s Hunt…

Our wake-up call came at 10:30. Finally, at 11:09, I dragged my ass out of bed and showered. Joe followed suit, while I packed, and took a load to the car. He finished, we checked out, and ran his stuff up to the car. Oh yeah, I never mentioned the ridiculous parking situation at the … Read more

Karaoke, Hoedowns, & the EAGLE…

At around 10:00, my cell phone rang. I expected it to be Joe, but saw “Donna” on the screen. She was calling my number after seeing they I’d called twice yesterday. I’d called on the way down trying to remember the name of the little town in Pennsylvania that her mom’s side of the family … Read more

Gettin’ outta town…

I met Joe at his house at 3:00, and we left for Atlanta. We were concerned about hitting traffic in Charlotte, but actually hit a little before there. Once in Charlotte, the north-bound lane was jammed packed, but heading south was pretty smooth sailing. Somewhere after Charlotte, we started looking for a Starbucks coffee on … Read more

Fall Break…

I met with Bill Kratt at 3:30, and signed my updated Will and Powers of Attorney. The three (lady) witnesses came in, and I said enthusiastically, “Aww, thanks for coming!” as if they had a choice. Then I started making faces and twitching, and said, “Yes, I’m totally of sound mind and body.” Once home … Read more

Satisfaction…

Cassandra didn’t make our meeting today. I think she must still be in that leadership class. I got a Sametime from Dana today that said, “Dana B Dismukes: should be fun…I just wanted to make sure you were able to attend the audit….we will need your moral and intellectual support!” What struck me about this … Read more

Within-subjects, between-subjects…

We canceled my Monday meeting today. Class was interesting tonight. Instead of just discussing the two articles we were to have read, we broke into groups and were charged with devising a study to test a question resulting from a real study that was done. The real study showed that people who receive feedback on … Read more

Photographists?

I studied at the library until about 7:30, and then met Joe at Flex. It was super crowded there with, evidently, the “after-Trash” crowd. Trash: The Movie premiered at the Rialto, I believe it was from 4 – 6:30, something like that, and I would guess that most of the people at Flex had come … Read more
