A rush of buscapades this morning: This is the first time, since I’ve been riding the bus for seven months, that another person at my stop in the morning was smoking a cigarette while waiting for the bus. I stood about 20 feet from him. Just as the bus pulled away from my stop, two … Read more
I had two meetings canceled at work today, which left me with none. Sweet! I worked all day on finishing up those tedious meeting minutes I was working on yesterday. Still tedious. Someone tweeted a link to this today: And a major FAIL on failblog.org: And, finally, this in from Kirk who told us about … 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
Another day in paradise. Poolside breakfast again. Beautiful weather. Sporadically naked men. Life is good. We moseyed on down to Duval street for the annual Parade of Beds, followed by its associated Red Ribbon Bed Race. So, the way this worked was that the homemade beds, pretty much all created and built by drag queens, … Read more
We were up around 9:30 or so today, and broke our promise to never drink again by 3:00. We had breakfast at the poolside bar and restaurant, and I had their three-cheese omelet again. That thing is just so freaking good. David dropped by around noon or so, and the three of us walked down … Read more
I forget to capture this yesterday: As I got off the bus coming home, the bus driver asked me, “Are you a teacher?” For some silly reason, that delighted me. Last week I described a “buscapade” about a (presumably) homeless man who, at a bus stop, told the bus driver that he “needed to get … 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
We got up at around 10:00, and Robert made coffee in the little 4-cup hotel coffee maker, after which we walked to the IHOP for a late breakfast. We had the best service, and on the way out, I asked to speak to the manager: “I just wanted to let you know that our server, … Read more
I worked from home and was glad to have the opportunity to do so. I had two loads of laundry done by 8:30, since I started working at 6:00 in order to be able to stop by 3:00. Today was my 15th anniversary of living my authentic life. What prompted me to do it after … Read more
I was up and at ’em early this morning as I needed to get into work early enough to write-up my status report to give at my 10:00 meeting. There wasn’t a morning buscapade, but there was one on the way home. Read on. We had our monthly staff meeting at my second-level manager’s level … Read more
