Even though we didn’t get to bed until about 4:00AM, I was up by 9:00. I made a pot of coffee, checked my mail, glanced at the morning paper online, including the obits, and caught up my journal for Friday and Saturday. Robert finished the book he was reading, and around noon, headed back to … Read more
We started the morning with a romp in the MMMMMMMMMMMMM. I had coffee and toast for breakfast. Robert just had some coffee. Later, mid-morning we had a little appetizer-fest trying the Kalamata Olive paste I bought in Greece. It is very, very strong in flavor. We put some, ever so little the second time, on … Read more
I had lunch with Jay, Jon, and Richard today at Danny’s. We laughed a lot. At about 4:50, my work phone rang it and was Nathan asking me if I was coming for our appointment. Damnit. I completely forgot about it. I had put it on my personal calendar, but not on my work one. … Read more
I had lunch with Adrienne today at Jason’s Deli at Brier Creek. She had Cameron with her, and that kid is so adorable, even though he was being fussy today. She said he’s usually quite the angel, but today was acting up. Cute, anyway. We caught up — she’s always got so many things going, … Read more
I worked from home today, and to be perfectly truthful, I wasn’t a very good IBMer today. I spent most of the day catching up on my grad school homework. My week in Greece put me further behind than I thought. School continues to really engage me, and in class Dr. Katz once again mentioned … Read more
I’m running on fumes today. TIGR meeting was okay. I had to multiplex during it, searching for research articles on the NCSU Libraries website. I love their “Ask a Librarian Chat” function. You connect live with a librarian who helps you via a chat screen. What’s cool about the application they use for Library Help … Read more
My inbox wasn’t too, too bad. My 1:00 meeting was attended by three second lines, if indeed, Joe A. is a second line. I think he is. I probably ought to know that. I ordered a SleepMate sound machine today. I actually have had no problem sleeping without the machine, but it’s just not the … Read more
I spent the entire day today analyzing the last five years of the journal, Written Communication. We each picked a journal for which we’re answering 10 questions, such as, “How often is the journal published? What are the primary topics covered by the articles in the journal? What affiliations do the authors typically have? What … Read more
We were down to the lobby by about 9:15, and checked out. Shortly after that, the cab driver appeared, and he was the same driver who had taken us to the hotel from the port yesterday, which was great. I confirmed with him that he was the one sent for us, and that we were … Read more
We left our room at about 10:00, and Robert pretended like he was crying as we were closing the door to the room saying, “I don’t want to go. I was just getting used to being here.” So cute. We got to the lobby shortly after 10:00, and checked out. The only charge to our … Read more
