I had another good day at work today—working at a good clip, but not crazy, and getting a good amount of work accomplished. Late morning, I checked my e-mail notification to confirm that my photo cards should indeed be at that K-Mart by now, so I called there. As soon as I said my name, … Read more
I had a good day at work today. On the way home, I took an elderly-disabled seat on the bus, so it was a seat that faced into the aisle. I was in the seat farthest to the right of three like that, so just to my right was the first seat facing forward. This … Read more
I had a productive, if not at times frustrating day today. Information architecture in a highly restrictive environment is challenging, to put it nicely. We had a nice retirement gathering for a colleague today, at which I honored her “with her own words.” Saroj is NCSU‘s “accessibility person.” It’s not that she’s the only person … Read more
I spent most of the day today at Helios, where I haven’t been in a long while, and where my customer service experience didn’t start off well. For the first hour or so, I sat out on the patio, and then later moved inside when it got a little too cool to be outside in … Read more
There was drama on the bus this morning. The driver stopped between stops on Hillsborough Street and just idled the bus there for a minute or two. She kept looking in the rear view mirror, so I took out my earbuds to hear what was going on. A guy in the back of the bus … Read more
I mailed Vivian’s birthday card today, actually allowing for the Veteran’s Day holiday tomorrow, so she’ll get it on Wednesday, her actual birthday. I noticed early this morning that I’d forgotten all about paying my Kohl’s charge card bill, which was due on Saturday. I went to pay it online and noticed that the total … Read more
I was up at 4:45, and at the airport by 5:45. I parked in Lot 3, the “Purple Lot,” and was in line at U.S. Airways by 6:00. I had my laptop, a suit bag, and a small bag that I’d normally take as my carry on bag, but was checking today, since I had … Read more
I had intended to catch the Wolfline bus to the Talley Student Center this morning, but remembered—fortunately before I waited at the bus stop—that it’s fall break and most of the NC State buses were not running today, including the one I would have taken. The city bus I usually take to work—the Method Road … Read more
We were up around nine this morning, and I made Cheddar omelets; sliced, fried turkey ham, and toast for breakfast, accompanied by coffee, of course. Robert was an absolute dear washing a tie for me that I might be able to use on my trip to China. Thanks, my sweet! At about 1:00, I finally … Read more
After a good, early night’s sleep, I was up at 6:00AM and out to the bus by 7:30. I’m going to introduce a new feature starting with today’s entry, it’s going to be called BUStle, and it’s going to capture my musings on my bus rides—both to and from work. I don’t know if I’ll … Read more
