~Friday~ In a repeat performance of Wednesday, Jen picked me up to ride into work together, as I was once again her back-up presenter / assistant at this morning’s Information Technology presentation to the students at New Student Orientation (NSO). And once again, we stopped in the office before walking over to the Cinema in … Read more
~Thursday~ I drove over to the Avent Ferry post office to mail two items—one birthday card and one thank-you card—before heading to work this morning. At the corner of Kaplan and Gorman, I caught the 8:04 Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus, on which there were 7 riders in addition to myself when I boarded. At … 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
~Tuesday~ I was running behind schedule this morning, so I drove down the street and parked by the Wolfline #9 Greek Village Kaplan/Gorman stop. I’d scoped out the location of the bus online before leaving the house, so I pretty much arrived just before it did. I love technology when it works and makes life … 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
~Friday~ It wasn’t overly hot this morning, but I still waited on the shady side of the street. In contrast to the one or two people that have been on in the past couple of weeks, the bus actually had 8-10 people on it already when I boarded. Library Man was aboard, and since there … 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
