A yammerer, some dreads, and some hash; a professorial lunch; and festive dancing…

~Wednesday~  I caught the 8:15 city bus, on which I was the third to board, preceded only by these two women, who talked almost non-stop my entire ride. Actually, it would be more accurate to say the woman on the right talked most of the way, and the other one listened. She had the highest … Read more

A missed bus, black socks redux, inconsistent steps, an info fair, dinner & a bang, and a cowboy…

~Tuesday~  Today was a first in that I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:20, and I actually missed the bus. Well, I waited until 8:31, as it’s never been later than 8:30. I checked the whereabouts of the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, and saw that I could catch it if I drove … Read more

Helping Robert move, a workout with internal dialog, Bill & Carl’s hat party, and Flex…

~Saturday~  I was up fairly early for a Saturday, at 9:00, since I’d had a good long nap before going to bed last night. Glorious sleep. Wish I got more of it. That sentiment reminds me of a quote I saw somewhere recently: “Time flies. Fortunately, we’re the pilot.” Which is to say, “It’s my … Read more

70% Geek/30% Military, a ministry that “gets it,” and becoming a buscapade caricature of my own…

~Thursday~  Before leaving my house, I put put out my trash can and recycle bin for today’s imminent collections. It was hot and humid as f*ck out this morning, and I started sweating just standing still waiting for the bus. Ridamndiculous. I was on the 7:15 bus this morning to get to work early enough … Read more

Jude’s breakfast buffet, A SHOUTOUT ON THE BUS, and a ton of fun dancing…

~Wednesday~  I took an early bus in this morning to get to work in time to help my officemate, Rhonda, set up for our surprise birthday breakfast for our manager. When I arrived, Rhonda had done all the decorations in terms of setting the table and putting streamers up over our manager’s office door. Jude, … Read more

Artrageous Jenni, if you can call a door a jar, an expert bullsh*tter, and a major giggle-fit…

~Saturday~  I was up at 9:00 and took a stroll down to the complimentary breakfast in the hotel lobby, which Joe wasn’t interested in, as he had his sights set on some “real coffee” from Dunkin’ Donuts. I’m not at all a coffee snob connoisseur so was happy to drink free coffee, and I toasted … Read more

Working from home, an errand-filled lunch, beach-bound, and a bar-bragger…

~Friday~  I was grateful today to have both a job in which I can occasionally work from home and to have a management team that supports that. I had a whirlwind lunch hour running errands. My first stop was at the post office by my house, at which I wanted to mail two packages. The … Read more

A beer belly man, a runway model, and a Parader climb aboard a bus… & a festive nite of dancing…

~Wednesday~  I caught the 8:15 city bus in to work this morning. Those of you who know me know that I am, if anything, the opposite of a fashionista or fashion connoisseur, but even I can tell that this is not a good look: Li’l Dino boarded, while on her phone, and she walked down … Read more

The lady in red with a lot going on, a remote staff meeting, a workout, and a bust of a night out…

~Tuesday~   This morning, for 8:30 in the morning, well it was just plain hot already. Stagnant air. High humidity. Hot. The entire ten minutes I wilted waiting for the bus, I had one recurring thought, “Please let it be cool on the bus. Please let it be cool on the bus.” The bus pulled up … Read more
