~Thursday~ At the city bus stop this morning, for no apparent reason, the horn alarm on this car started going off: It stopped after several minutes, also for no apparent reason. That is to say, no one came out to tend to it, at least no one that I could see. This “house ad” was … Read more
~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
~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
~Monday~ I was up at 7:15 and to my dentist’s new office by 7:50 for my 8:00 appointment. I’d received no less than three reminders—one by phone, and two by U.S. mail—that this appointment would be at their new location. Entrance to New Office I’m pretty sure that 8:00 is their first appointment time slot, … Read more
~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
~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
~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
~Monday~ On the Wolfline bus this morning, an Asian guy sat across from me in a bright red polo shirt, calf-length black pants that stopped four inches short of where his black socks started. That outfit was capped (or should I say “toed”) off with shiny, shiny patent leather dress shoes. The CapadeCam caught part … Read more
~Sunday~ We were up at 10:00 and checked out at about 11:30. We stopped by the Drunkin’ Donuts, where we encountered the most incredibly slow service ever. I finished my donut while Joe waited for them to make two cups of coffee for him. On the way out, I said to him, “If I lived … Read more
~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
