I worked (at IBM) from home today. I edited Qiana’s document, but didn’t finish it. I’ll have to finish it this weekend, and have it ready for her on Monday morning. I napped for a couple of hours. I went to Flex for Show Tunes Night and some free pool, which I played with Chris … Read more
Just a little disconcerting as this apartment complex is just around the corner from my house. It didn’t feel good doing it, but I did it anyway. My financial advisor told me about a month ago that when IBM stock gets back over $100 a share, I should sell the close to $35,000 worth of … Read more
Thirteen years ago today, I stopped living a life of deceit and began living my life authentically. I’m so much better for it. I love my life now. It’s been a while since stripedtiger has had a post that’s cracked me up. It’s about being cruised in the gym. I particularly like the ending. I … Read more
Evidently, even women dream about me… John Martin, you were in my dreams last night… Hey! Hope you are doing well. It’s been too long since I’ve seen your smiling face. Speaking of you smiling, I had a dream last night in which Milton and Bianca hosted a senior citizen square dancing festival. Will and I … Read more
This is my favorite PostSecret from this week’s collection: What I wonder about it is, “Does the disappointment stem from what it couldn’t produce or from what it did?” And from overheardinnewyork.com, this gem: The Penthouse Belongs to His Brother Who Bought into the Lie Little nephew: The kids who celebrate Kwanzaa at my school … Read more
I met Kevin (av8rdude) at Helios, 1-ish, where he worked on his final exam for a class, and I completed my edit of Christie’s context-sensitive help. You got peanut butter on my chocolate. No, you got chocolate on my peanut butter. Sometimes the juxtaposition of two things leads to a creative result. That’s sort of … Read more
I was surprised to see where North Carolina stood on this map. Where (and How) Evolution is Taught in the U.S. Click on the map to read more about it if you’re interested. I worked from home today, editing Christie’s Manage Services User Interface context-sensitive help. I canceled my 1-on-1 meeting with my manager. Class … Read more
From a GLBT discussion forum I subscribe to: reflections on some postings about recognizing our relationships … “…and this is April’s friend, Dorothy.” April’s other grandmother died… “other grandmother” meaning not the paternal grandmother who lives with us, but her mother’s mother. So Sunday and Monday we attended the wake and funeral. Gram had 4 … Read more
From indexed blog: I love the expression she’s assigned to the BE line segment. I went into the office today. I attended two conference calls today—one on editing indexes and the other on the “new and improved” IBM 2007 Compensation Plan. With regards to the second meeting, once again, IBM puts a different slant on … Read more
Today was a rescheduled work day for me—from Tuesday, when I was flying back from Dallas. I took a late lunch to attend a S-L meeting, at which I was given a 200% increase on a stipend. Sweet! After work, I met Kevin (av8rdude) at Helios, where I tried one of their smoothies for the … Read more
