Working from home, blogging best practices, judging, and free pizza at the gym…

~Monday~  The university was on a noontime opening delay today, but our manager sent an e-mail last night saying it was fine to work from home, of which I took advantage. I left my house at about 1:30 just to give myself plenty of time to arrive at Tompkins Hall for my 3:00 presentation to … Read more

WordPress blogging, 2 things you never want to see at your gym, and straight people fighting…

~Sunday~  I got a glorious full eight hours of sleep. I should do that more often. I spent way more time than I wanted to creating that video screen capture of that product installation for my blog for class. I am just auditing the class for Pete’s sake. Oh well, I always was an over-achiever. … Read more

My townhouse hill’s a laboratory, some service, some homework, and a questionable night out…

~Saturday~  This morning the much touted, and profusely reported, blanket of white was on the ground. Now, in 2015, all of the major weather forecasters will be bragging about how they “nailed the one of 2010.” I didn’t mention in yesterday’s entry that I parked my car out of my townhouse area, down on Kaplan … Read more

Rubbing an apple, water goes to college, an eyewear cancelation, a haircut, and a workout…

~Thursday~  I rode the Wolfline bus in this morning, as I had a meeting in the Talley Student Center from where there are two bus options home that run more often than the city bus at that time. The bus wasn’t very crowded when I first got on and I took an inventory of the … Read more

A non-kneeling bus, seeing liver, 1 in 10, HE wins, class, a workout, & dancing…

~Wednesday~  I was at the bus stop a few minutes early, which did not bode well with the combination of cold temperatures this morning and the lateness of the bus. It got to the point where I looked around for a very wide tree that I might stand aside in such a way that it … Read more

A ticket avoided, more poundage gone, seeing red at my eye doctor’s, & a rewarding workout…

~Tuesday~  In a rare move indeed, I drove in to work today. As a public transportation user, which the university pays for so I ride free, I also get about 14 free parking passes per year to use “just in case.” I can use these passes, on which you scratch (but not sniff) three circles—one … Read more

How’d you get your name? Why is that culturally significant? A workout and homework…

~Sunday~  I had a relaxing morning, enjoying coffee, breakfast, and some online Scrabble with Robert. Refilling my “pill box” for the week, I found my last Nexium in the bottle, so got online and refilled the prescription via the K-Mart pharmacy website. I spent a good portion of my late morning and early afternoon catching … Read more

Sudoko, Tiger’s dead baby, a deaf genie, an affirmation, and dinner w/Robert & Casey…

~Friday~ A non-regular rider was doing a Sudoku puzzle in my line of vision on the bus this morning, and I had the following thoughts watching him: I just never have been engaged by those. I would much rather be playing with words in a crossword puzzle, as I prefer words to numbers and at … Read more

Buscapades, after-work drinks, and an early night in…

~Thursday~  This morning’s city bus ride featured Library Man reading not an industry trade magazine, but what I at first thought might be Woman’s Day magazine, but turned out to be the Parade magazine, a Sunday paper insert in these parts. Library Man had some kind of sinus issue going on this morning, which exposed … Read more
