WCPE Volunteer…

I had my alarm set for 6:45PM instead of 6:45AM. I woke up at 7:05. Since I had showered before going to bed, I just wet my hair, and put some gel in it. I left for Wake Forest at about 7:20. I looked at the directions a little too late, and ended up going … Read more

The First Day of Spring…

We got up at about 9:30. Robert had a call with the study he has dropped out of… the “exit call” so to speak. We grabbed lunch at Subway on the way out today, and then did this: Historic Trolley Tours Historic Trolley Tours, a program of Capital Area Preservation (CAP), Raleigh’s only riding tour … Read more

Parizade & Ruddigore…

I worked from home today. Robert arrived at around 4:30. He took a quick nap, while I finished up my work. We had dinner at Parizade’s in Durham, and it was delicious! They had a “Pre-Theater” special that ran from 5:30-6:30, and our reservation was for 6:30. We got in just under the wire. 🙂 … Read more

Ships passing in the morning…

Courtney and I saw each other for about two minutes this morning. Oh well. At least we had that. I had a good day today. My conference call with Loretta, Mary, Lila, Cassandra, and Jennifer (hey, it was an all-girl call) went pretty well. Marilyn’s actions frustrate the hell out of me at times. The … Read more

Class and dancing…

I was not a productive employee today. Got to get out of this funk. Actually spent some time looking at job opportunities. Not a good sign. I like the work I’m doing, but the short term rewards are too few and far between. I want to feel good on a daily basis. I need to … Read more

Homework…

The TIGR meeting was canceled today. We had book club in B002. Janet was there, and her newly lifted eyelids looked fine. She announced that she had, on her last visit, asked her dentist about having her jaw reduced. She’s on some kind of path that none of us are sure about. I brought Drag … Read more

Back to school…

I started off the day at the doctor’s office, and then “called in sick.” I stopped by the pharmacy on the way home, and then went home and slept for 2.5 hours. Spring Break is over, and it’s back to class tonight. I read for a couple of hours, and wrote up an “example” for … Read more

Mama Mia!

I slept in this morning. At one o’clock, I met Steven at the gym, and we did our usual 30 minutes on the elliptical machine, and a one-mile walk. Once again it was one of those days that hadn’t I had a “workout buddy” I met have blown it off. Thanks, Steven, for that. I … Read more

Document analysis day…

I spent most of the day doing my assignment for Monday. I did a document analysis of an NC State brochure for their “Management Academy,” which earns you a certificate in Business Management. I stopped at around 5:00, showered, and ran to Crabtree to the Cingular store. After more thinking than I wanted to do, … Read more

Capturing the Friedman’s…

Work was somewhat of a downer today. My 1.5 hour conference call with the Austin and Santa Cruz folks ended with criticism of my PPD template guideline work. I don’t mind them pointing out things they didn’t like about it, but what I don’t like is that they don’t have anything better to use, and … Read more
