Back to work today. What fun. The day started with our weekly staff meeting, which was productive enough. I spent the afternoon working exclusively on the minutes of our March University IT Committee meeting. Tedious. My boss made a good observation about how long it takes to do minutes: “It seems like they should call them … Read more
We had breakfast again at the poolside bar and restaurant. I had the “Caribbean French Toast” today, Very yummy. We had a lazy day, just hanging around the resort, so I’m going to capture something in today’s entry that actually happened on Friday. If I were home, this would be much like a buscapade. We were … Read more
I caught the 7:55 bus today instead of the 8:25. I was surprised to find my office door locked, as Rhonda is always in before me. Turned out she was on vacation today. I spent some time this morning preparing for a 1:00 meeting with Dana from the Operations team. I took the city bus … Read more
I was going to work from home all morning, since my exterminator was expected some time between 8:00 and 11:00. However, he arrived at just after 9:00, so I jumped in the shower in an effort to make the 9:50 bus. With just a couple of minutes left, I was unable to find my badge—I … Read more
I walked down to the post office this morning to mail Jeanie-baby’s final taxes to her daughter, Phyllis, in Boca Raton. Two things to note; call them post officecapades if you want to: The first thing I noticed is this sign hanging on the door through which you enter the post office: Box Up at 11:00 … Read more
We were up at 9:00, after a full eight hours sleep. Robert put coffee on, and I made breakfast, which consisted of turkey sausage patties on Hawaiian rolls with sliced hard-boiled eggs on them. We enjoyed it all out on my deck sitting at my bar patio set. We enjoyed the fruits—well mostly vegetables, really—of … Read more
My work day started off, once again, with a 9:00 meeting. That’s two for two this week. I attended a 1:00-2:00 meeting about the creation of web design guidelines for our organization. I was sitting in for my officemate (and teammate), who would’ve been there instead if she hadn’t have been out sick. I spent … Read more
I was up early, at about 6:00 after eight hours sleep—since we got to bed fairly early. Robert left around 11:00, and around noon, my friend Kevin (zy1125, @zy1125) called to say that he and Danny (his three-year-old son) were having “boys day out,” and wanted to know if I wanted to meet him somewhere for … Read more
This morning’s buscapades left me wondering this about the girl who got on the bus with her bicycle and then got off two stops later: “Why???” Agriculture Awareness Week @ NCSU continued, where on the way to coffee, I saw not a man outstanding in his field, but a cow outstanding in his brickyard—along with … Read more
This morning’s buscapades included… After standing at the bus for about five minutes, with the bus’s imminent arrival, I realized that I didn’t have my Study Circle folder with me for tonight’s meeting. I did quick calculations about the time investment in walking back up to my place right there and then and missing this … Read more
