I worked from home today. I took a late lunch, during which I met with Myra and Mark for a “Center for Excellence in Curricular Engagement Web Site Brainstorming Session.” We brainstormed about the “rhetorical purposes” of the web site and the general organization of it. Then, we prioritized the items in terms of what we … Read more
I actually went into the office today, where I had a decent day. I had lunch with Kevin (zy1125), who is now sporting facial hair, which made me think “Woof!” when I saw him. We ate at Rudino’s at RTP, consistently the place for hot young professionals in the Triangle. Today was no exception. It … Read more
The brilliant life of Anthony Castro By LZ Granderson […] I never had the pleasure of meeting Anthony, but when I read about his story, tears filled my eyes — in large part because he died so young, but also because he lived so courageously. You see, Michael Anthony Castro, the three-sport star athlete and … Read more
At 8:48, I tumbled outta bed, stumbled to the kitchen, poured myself a cup of ambition, and generally yawned and stretched and just tried to come to life. How original. I worked from home today, and had an interesting instant message chat with Mary Mahoney in Austin; I like her. Later in the day, I … Read more
Robert brought me coffee in bed, and then he made me breakfast. Love that man. So sweet. I met E-Ching and David at just after 12:30, and we made the two-mile walk from their house to K&W at Cameron Village. We entered the Disneyworld-like line that consisted, undoubtedly, of churchgoers coming, but with all the … Read more
Robert and I had a nice walk around the lake today—it was in the low 60s. On the way home from the lake, we stopped at Quiznos for lunch. I finally finished my edit of Shruti’s User Guide, and I feel both accomplished and glad to be done with it. Robert and I worked on … Read more
I worked from home today, spending the entire day editing Shruti’s document. I’m coming down the home stretch on it now. Yay! At about 7:30, I went over to Carmichael, where I had to park in the Coliseum Deck—obviously some kind of event going on in Reynolds with the amount of cars parked in the … Read more
I got up at 7:15, and was in the office by 8:00. I had my annual appraisal with my manager, and it all went as expected, which is the way it should be. I brought up my idea of becoming a totally mobile employee, and she had no problem with it, so I will probably … Read more
I forgot to mention a couple of things that I wanted to capture from yesterday, but that entry was long enough anyway. I know, “Aren’t they all?” But you digress… The first thing was with regards to being an editor for a living and how it makes me crazy some times. I just can’t stop … Read more
I slept in today, and then spent until 7:00 PM finishing up my ENG 675 Web site mock-up. Whew! I caught up my Thursday, Friday, and Saturday blog entries. I did IBM editing from 9:30 until 11:30. All this makes for Johnny being a dull boy.
