~Friday~ I took the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus from the Avent Ferry Food Lion Park & Ride this morning, on which there was a sparse ridership, since it’s exam week. Two people were doing last-minute studying of class notes, one person had grocery bags intimating she had just finished her early Friday morning grocery … Read more
~Sunday~ My alarm went off 6:00 and I snoozed until the 6:09 ring. I didn’t hear any movement in the hallway, which was surprising since Xolani and I had to leave at 6:30 to head downtown to the Clarion Hotel to meet Jesse and the others for their trip to DC. I knocked on Xolani’s door, … Read more
~Thursday~ I was up at 3:30, and over to Joe’s by 4:20, ten minutes of ahead of my planned 4:30 arrival time. We stopped by the Wachovia ATM on the way to the airport, where I dropped Joe off at Terminal 2 and went to park in Lot 3, the Purple Lot. Three, older women … Read more
~Saturday~ Xolani were up and at ’em in time to leave the house for a 9:00 walk around Lake Johnson. We started at the boathouse side this time, and we made excellent time, completing the three-mile walk in 45 minutes. I usually do it in 50 minutes. The weather was absolutely gorgeous today. After our … Read more
~Tuesday~ I had a two-bus ride to work this morning, as I had a 9:00-10:30 meeting in a building I don’t work in. The first leg was the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus, upon which a girl boarding after me walked by sporting an old-fashioned, metal, 101 Dalmatians, lunch box. Following closely behind her was … Read more
~Sunday~ I got up, had breakfast and went back to sleep for another hour. Glorious Sunday. Robert arrived at 1:00, and we went to the KFC on Western Boulevard, where we had one of the most unpleasant customer service experiences I’ve had in a while. There was a girl sweeping the lobby when we arrived, … Read more
~Monday~ I’m itching to get back to my “life’s routine,” but I didn’t start the day that way, waking up five minutes after I should have been at work. I’d set my alarm clock for 7:30PM instead of 7:30AM. After a quick e-mail to my boss, I rushed through my morning ritual and arrived at … Read more
~Thursday~ Today was my meeting day from hell, which I alluded to in Monday’s blog entry: Due to that 4:00 meeting, which was in the Talley Student Center, which is most convenient to a slew of Wolfline buses but only one city bus, I took a Wolfline bus in this morning. It wasn’t jammed packed … Read more
~Tuesday~ In a rare move indeed, I drove in to work today. As a public transportation user, which the university pays for so I ride free, I also get about 14 free parking passes per year to use “just in case.” I can use these passes, on which you scratch (but not sniff) three circles—one … Read more
~Sunday~ I slept in this morning. Glorious Sunday. Right after breakfast, I did two loads of laundry. Facebook is really off base with these ridiculous ads that keep popping up down the right side of my screen while I’m logged in: I tweeted this about them: Hate to tell advertisers that those [obviously Photoshopped—to the … Read more
