~Wednesday~ I just made it to the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, such that I crossed the street and walked right on it. At the last minute yesterday, my colleague and peer manager to mine, Sarah, asked me to fill in as the back-up presenter for this morning’s student orientation. I got there a little … Read more
~Sunday~ Here are two things I wanted to capture last night, but forgot to—both having to do with songs I heard on Foxy 107/104 on the way downtown to Courtney’s gig at Hibernian: The first was this song with the most inane lyrics by a guy with a deep—trying to be sexy—voice à la Barry … Read more
~Saturday~ I stayed close to home, well at home to be exact, until about 5:30 at which time my stomach felt settled enough to venture to the gym. I did cardio work, with 60 minutes on the elliptical machine for a 1070-calorie burn, during which I listened to the Recordings for Someone podcast episode of … Read more
~Wednesday~ Jen was right on time this morning, and we had enough time to stop in the office before walking over to Witherspoon for her 8:45 Information Technology (IT) presentation to the students at New Student Orientation. I actually advanced the slides for her, because the remote they had available didn’t work. I walked back … Read more
~Monday~ It was not overly sunny this morning, but it was hot and there was no breeze. A bird sat perched at the top of the bus stop sign, right in the middle of it like it was placed there rather than having just landed there. I took a picture of it with my cell … Read more
~Saturday~ Internet and e-mail access on my Blackberry was still out this morning when I turned on my phone. I tried to make a phone call and found out that that wasn’t working either. I thought it was just the data plan part that wasn’t working. Checking the “Manage Connections” settings, I found everything indicating … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the 8:15 city bus. On board, the air was stagnant. The driver was the same one as yesterday, who mustn’t get hot herself, nor think beyond herself of the potential comfort, or discomfort as it were, of her customers. It was uncomfortable enough that I wondered if it wasn’t worth trying to … Read more
~Wednesday~ Once again, I waited for the bus on the shady side of the street. You can assume this for the rest of the summer. It will be newsworthy when I don’t stand on the shady side. Stagnant. There was absolutely no air circulating on the bus when I boarded. It wasn’t hot, per se, … Read more
~Tuesday~ We’re scheduled for near triple-digit temperatures today and tomorrow—Who schedules these things anyway?—so I waited on the shady side of the street for the bus. A young man walking his dog on the sunny side of the street kept saying, “Come on, buddy! Come on, buddy!” to a dog that was more interested in looking … Read more
~Friday~ At 8:05, I realized that I was supposed to be at the Witherspoon building this morning as the back-up to a colleague who was presenting the IT information to the students at New Student Orientation. Knowing I could neither make it on the university bus line nor on the city bus line, I drove … Read more
