~Friday~ I was grateful for both a kind and caring management team and for being in a job where it’s possible to work remotely, as I really wasn’t feeling at all social today, and I had to make a few personal calls that I would rather not have made from the office, such as the … Read more
~Tuesday~ It was not as cold as I expected it to be this morning. There’s still quite a bit of snow on the ground, particularly in places “where the sun don’t shine.” The bus driver today was someone I haven’t seen before, a white guy, committed to not making eye contact with boarding customers—at least … Read more
~Monday~ The university was on a noontime opening delay today, but our manager sent an e-mail last night saying it was fine to work from home, of which I took advantage. I left my house at about 1:30 just to give myself plenty of time to arrive at Tompkins Hall for my 3:00 presentation to … Read more
~Sunday~ I got a glorious full eight hours of sleep. I should do that more often. I spent way more time than I wanted to creating that video screen capture of that product installation for my blog for class. I am just auditing the class for Pete’s sake. Oh well, I always was an over-achiever. … Read more
~Thursday~ I rode the Wolfline bus in this morning, as I had a meeting in the Talley Student Center from where there are two bus options home that run more often than the city bus at that time. The bus wasn’t very crowded when I first got on and I took an inventory of the … Read more
~Wednesday~ I was at the bus stop a few minutes early, which did not bode well with the combination of cold temperatures this morning and the lateness of the bus. It got to the point where I looked around for a very wide tree that I might stand aside in such a way that it … 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
~Monday~ I thought I was taking the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in this morning, but what actually showed up was a “GV to DH Hill” (from Greek Village to the university library) bus instead. I’ve seen this bus in passing before, and figured it was kind of an “over-flow” bus that just serves the … Read more
~Sunday~ I had a relaxing morning, enjoying coffee, breakfast, and some online Scrabble with Robert. Refilling my “pill box” for the week, I found my last Nexium in the bottle, so got online and refilled the prescription via the K-Mart pharmacy website. I spent a good portion of my late morning and early afternoon catching … Read more
~Tuesday~ A couple got on the bus—the gentleman first, followed by the lady. He put his money into the machine, grabbed his printed fare card, and started down the aisle toward a seat. The lady stood in front of the fare machine, turned toward him, and with her hands on her hips hollered, “What? You … Read more
