I worked a half day today — from home. Robert arrived around 12:30, and we left for DC just after 1:00. It took a good half-hour just to get out of Raleigh — up US. 1 N. (Note to self: Next time going North on US 1, take Falls of Neuse to Old Wake Forest … Read more
I went into the office today, and had a fairly productive day. Yay! I left work and went to the Annual STC Carolina Picnic and Membership Drive (Thursday, September 8th, 5:30 to Sunset, rain or shine), which was held under the White Oak shelter of Lake Crabtree County Park. There were a lot fewer people … Read more

I met Sharon for lunch, as both Suzanne and Mary were working from home, and Janet is still out recovering from her back surgery.

I met Jace, his friend, who was one of the two guys I met at Casalinga’s when we went there, innoman, Glenn, and av8rdude for breakfast at Finch’s. Robert arrived at about 5:00, and immediately fired up the grill. We cooked hot dogs and Emeril’s Cajun Style Sausages, and had them on hot dog buns, … Read more
I, along with half my department I believe, including my manager, worked from home today. That’s what gas at $3.29 a gallon will do. After work, I rode over to the Post Office on Avent Ferry, and mailed Will’s “Congratulations on your new home” card. I rode out to the Credit Union off Harrison Avenue … Read more
My manager sent this e-mail out last night about today to everyone in the department: Subject: WFH Owing to the petrol concern, I will be working from home for the remainder of this year – see you all in January! 🙂 Just kidding! WFH tomorrow. Will be on Notes, Sametime, phone 919-xxx-yyyy and mobile zzz-xxx-yyyy. … Read more
