I slept in today, and then spent until 7:00 PM finishing up my ENG 675 Web site mock-up. Whew! I caught up my Thursday, Friday, and Saturday blog entries. I did IBM editing from 9:30 until 11:30. All this makes for Johnny being a dull boy.
Are You Kidding? This Is Stand-Up Comedy Gold! http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/archives/008767.html Lesbian: So, I wanted to get my hair cut really short, y’know? And, like, dyed red.

At 8:10 my phone rang, and it was my exterminating company calling me to tell me that the guy doing my service call was sitting in front of my house. Evidently he had rung the doorbell, but I didn’t hear it, as I was still fast asleep. He was supposed to come between 8:00 and … Read more
I worked at home today for IBM, taking a late lunch hour to attend a presentation on his research by Dr. Brent Faber of Clarkson University, who is the second (of three) candidates coming to campus this month to interview for an associate professor job opening in the Department of English. He “read” the first … Read more

Myra drove us to Biltmore where we met Patti … Read more

Can I get you some more coffee, sweetie? Sweetie, you look like you’ve had a rough night, can I get you something else? Queer looking up at waitress for a … Read more
I woke up at 8:00 this morning—from a sad dream. After about an hour, I went back to sleep until 11:30. I got to Helios at about 1:00, and spent the entire afternoon there. I changed tables two times, one time to get away from this “regular” there, who I’m sure does not even know … Read more

Random chick: Oh, nice… My friend just got hers done. It’s not supposed to be that bad. Freshman girl: Do you know if it gets in the way of … Read more
Joe and I left my place at about 11:30. We stopped at the Bruegger’s at Mission Valley, where I had to refrain from SHIFTING INTO UPPER CASE in terms of customer service. The line was too long; the people serving too inefficient, resulting in slow customer service; the person who helped me mumbled; the cashier, who … Read more
I got a lot of work and school items taken care of today, which included a ride into the office in the late afternoon, where I submitted my PBC results for 2006. I stopped by Donna’s on the way to work to deliver Robert’s Christmas gift of caramels. I got to Flex before Joe did … Read more
