~Wednesday~ No complaints—or compliments for that matter—about the bus this morning. I read on the ride in.
I used Twitter this morning to garner some “customer feedback” about our organization, and forwarded it on to management.
At lunch time, I caught the Wolfline bus over to the NCSU Bookstore, where I purchased two gift cards. By the cash register, there was one of those signs that make you wonder what the heck people were thinking when they devised it.

All I could imagine was a distraught bookstore employee crying, “I can’t bear to see our merchandise leave the store. Make them get it out of my sight before they take it away!”

I’ve been working nearly 30 years now, and they’re only 20 years old. How both exciting and excruciating it is that they’ve got their whole working lives ahead of them.”
I forgot to caputre this writing affirmation from yesterday. Karen’s comments were on Facebook and were with regards to my blog entry from Sunday, June 7th.

Carl taught the dance to Buttons, which is an advanced level dance, and once again, I didn’t get the whole thing, though I did get further along on it than the last time it was taught.
Back home, I read a little more before falling asleep. Progress update looks like this:
