~Friday~ I’m so grateful for having been able to work from home today. I got a boatload of stuff done including: four news blurbs for December’s OIT News, completing an edit of that document for our CIO that I started yesterday, and editing a document in full that my manager wrote on “Green IT.” I … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the Wolfline bus in again this morning, and what a difference a day (or two or three) makes. It was the most crowded I’ve ever seen the bus—everyone must have had 8:00 exams. It was also the most assertive I’ve ever seen any bus driver be as she knew it was going … Read more
~Wednesday~ Due to the nasty, nasty weather this morning—some wind and torrential rain, I drove over to the Wofline bus stop on Gorman, where I can sit in my car across from the stop until I see the bus coming, and which drops me off much closer to my building than the city bus. For … Read more
~Tuesday~ The bus was running late this morning—almost five minutes past the time when it usually is the latest that it arrives. I put on my patience hat, which never has fit very well. Entering the bus, I was greeted by an ear-piercingly loud noise that continued the entire trip. I don’t know how the bus … Read more
~Monday~ Wrong Way Willie was driving this morning, but he took the correct route today. I suppose he may never live down the fact that he took a wrong turn one day. I certainly can’t see myself dropping it. I’m going to go ahead and rename a character here, and I’ll mention both of her … Read more
~Sunday~ I got up at a little after 11:00, made my Scrabble move, and then put on a pot of coffee. After a few back-and-forth moves with Robert in the online Scrabble game, I toasted a Portuguese muffin, cut it in half lengthwise, fried two over-easy eggs, set one on each half of the muffin, … Read more
~Saturday~ I went back to sleep at 6:00 and got up at 11:30 amidst the most ridiculous, ridiculous dream. The Portuguese sweet bread known as massa is indeed all gone, but now I’ve thawed out the Bolos Levedos that I’d put in my freezer. These are Portuguese muffins, also a little bit on the sweet … Read more
~Friday~ I was back on the 8:15 city bus this morning, where I took a seat behind Library Man who was reading his trade magazine, ArcNews, and specifically, an article entitled, “Nine Innovations in ArcGIS 9.4.” Not that I was nosing over his shoulder or anything. At Li’l Dino‘s stop, she did not get on … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus into work, which sadly, was lacking buscapde material. These drugs are kicking ass. I can already feel an improvement in my cough. My application for re-enrollment as a student in non-degree status was completed today, and I was accepted back getting my old student ID number … Read more
~Wednesday~ First thing this morning, I called my doctor’s office to get an appointment to have another look at this cough. The inhaler therapy has been a total bust, doing nothing but instigating an asthma attack last Wednesday. I wanted to see Amy Hird, my regular doctor whom you know I love, but she wasn’t … Read more
