An über-productive work day, a delightful lunch, working on my China presentation…
I had an über-productive day at work today, which included: Completing three news blurbs for this month’s OIT News.
Month: January 2009
Funny secrets, a canceled meeting, grocery shopping, and exercising…
Two PostSecret entries that cracked me up today: I went to the Talley Student Center at State for a 1:00-3:00 meeting in the Talley Board Room. I got there at 12:55 to an empty room, which stayed that way until 1:10, when I realized that even though there was a laptop powered on and displaying … Read more
A Prudie snap snap, some exercise, and Silver Daddy night…
It’s been a while since I’ve shared a Prudie “snap snap”: Dear Prudie, My mother does something that is most annoying to me. She gets my and my brother’s names confused. She calls me his name and him my name. My brother is 15, very immature, not so bright, lies and steals everything, and is … Read more
All about me, me, me awards, a short night out, and a late dinner…
I have never been one to hang plaques on my wall. I’m not sure why, but I have decided to go ahead and do it here in my office at State. I guess I was motivated by finally getting my diploma framed. It was interesting choosing the four awards that mean the most to me. … Read more
No badge, yes or no questions, a diploma frame, and a TON of fun at a salon…
I went through my car yet one more time, this time with a flashlight in the daylight, to look for my badge after Kevin (av8rdude) tweeted that he’s certain he saw it in there at one point during his visit. No luck. Favorite tweet of the day (01/08/09): RobertFischer Note to Everyone Else: When I … Read more
Just a blah day…
Today’s synopsis in an unordered list: I devised my blog entry about the dumpster suicide, which was “threaded” at 30THREADS by my friend Ginny. I had a Chicken Curry dish at lunch that was so spicy that I had to blow my nose when I was done. Good stuff. I had all kinds of good … Read more
Dumpster Suicide: Selfish or Thoughtful—or Scheming
I can’t stop thinking about this story, which recently unfolded locally: BENSON (WTVD) — Johnson County deputies say a man found shot to death in a rest stop trash dumpster committed suicide. Randal Ray Rockwell, 59, was found at the west bound I-40 rest stop near Benson on Tuesday. A worker made the discovery when … Read more
Bus charity, an article pic of me, no badge, a famous subway performer, fun lunch, and the gym…
This was a first on the bus this morning: A guy using a cane—the metal kind with a rubber top on it for a handle and four forked prongs at the base for stability—boarded the bus and at the entrance by the ticket machine he faced the entire bus and said, “Does anyone have 50 cents to help … Read more
Back to work, a lost badge, voice and email spam, and a cracked mask…
Today was my first day back to work since Christmas eve, and my badge was nowhere to be found this morning. I finally ended up grabbing a business card of mine, which shows that I work at NC State, to try and use to ride the bus free this morning. The driver accepted it. I … Read more
Served breakfast, shopping@Kohl’s, Doubt (the movie), and some free pool…
We got up at about 9:30, and Robert made me breakfast, while I nursed my back on the couch. At about 12:15, we left for Kohl’s, where Robert checked out their shoe sale for a new pair of sneakers. He ended up not getting a pair, but did get a set of twin sheets for … Read more
