~Wednesday~ It was rough getting up this morning. I had my alarm set for 7:30, but got up a little before, and I was down to breakfast by a little after 8:00. I sat at a table by myself, since I was on the tail end of the 7:00-8:30 serving time, and the place was … Read more
~Tuesday~ I was up at 6:00 and downstairs shortly after breakfast started at 7:00. Everything was delicious that I had—scrambled eggs, hash brown potatoes, sausage, and bacon, but I sure did want some kind of bread, none of which was a part of the spread. I tried to “walk the talk” of taking advantage of … Read more
~Monday~ Joe dropped me off at the Hilton Wilmington Riverside for the first of my three-day conference, UNC CAUSE 2010, which is an annual conference (when the budget allows) for anyone working in information technology (IT) in support of the 17 institutions of the University of North Carolina system. I went from a Quality Inn … Read more
~Sunday~ This morning’s breakfast situation was a wash, rinse, and repeat of yesterday’s. I had a relaxing (well at least in terms of it not being crowded) and free hotel breakfast again. A lady on her phone spoke loudly the entire time I was there saying what a particular dog was thinking at any one … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 9:15 and went down to the hotel lobby for breakfast. In a change from normal, it was uncrowded, which made it a very relaxing and free breakfast. Upon heading back to the room, I picked up a cup of coffee, a cup of orange juice, and some danish for Joe. … Read more
~Friday~ I was up and logged in to work at 5:30 this morning, and I’d sent three e-mails by 6:00. At 7:30, I ran out to my doctor’s office to have some lab work done. When I walked into the bathroom where I was to “produce a sample,” my first thought was, “There really needs … Read more
~Thursday~ I caught the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus up at Gorman and Avent Ferry this morning, and when we boarded the first three seats on the right were taken by that man who was on a week or so ago that made the comment to all the students on the bus, “I hope y’all … Read more
~Wednesday~ In an anomaly, the 7:45 bus was not early, and in fact didn’t come until 7:55. When taking a seat on the bus, I always put my bags—a laptop bag and a soft-sided briefcase, both black—in the window seat and I take the aisle seat. That’s as much as I ever think about it, … Read more
~Tuesday, Election Day~ I had my alarm set for 7:00, with the intention of running up the street to vote and being back to catch the 8:15 bus. I tossed and turned not wanting to get up, running through various scenarios of voting during lunch or after work. Since I didn’t feel like getting up, … Read more
~Monday~ I had my alarm set to 7:00, which is when my doctor’s office opens, and I called to tell them I wouldn’t be making my 7:30 appointment to have lab work done, and rescheduled it for this coming Friday when I’ll be working from home. I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus in … Read more
