We had our hour-and-a-half working team meeting this morning, which was quite productive, and we ended with 15 minutes to spare. As usual, it was absolutely freaking freezing in the conference room. I had two afternoon meetings today, one from 1:00-2:00, and another, across campus, from 2:00-4:00. I thought I’d go to the first 45 … Read more
I caught the 7:55 bus today instead of the 8:25. I was surprised to find my office door locked, as Rhonda is always in before me. Turned out she was on vacation today. I spent some time this morning preparing for a 1:00 meeting with Dana from the Operations team. I took the city bus … Read more
We got up at around 10:00, and Robert made coffee in the little 4-cup hotel coffee maker, after which we walked to the IHOP for a late breakfast. We had the best service, and on the way out, I asked to speak to the manager: “I just wanted to let you know that our server, … Read more
I worked from home and was glad to have the opportunity to do so. I had two loads of laundry done by 8:30, since I started working at 6:00 in order to be able to stop by 3:00. Today was my 15th anniversary of living my authentic life. What prompted me to do it after … Read more
One thing that’s interesting about Twitter, and its connection to Facebook’s status field, is that you just never know what kind of comment is going to spark wild conversation. At work, right before lunch, I went to the restroom, and upon returning to my office, I tweeted: I hate, hate, HATE urinals beside sinks in … Read more
Oh the bizarreness of dreams… I was in a work meeting in which Mardecia, who is an African-American director-level colleague of mine, was supposed to do a short presentation. I opened the door to the room in which we were meeting, which was clearly a school classroom, and looked to see if she was coming … Read more
In a reverse of yesterday, today all three of my meetings were in the afternoon instead of the morning. I had lunch at Sadlack’s Heroes, and was once again served their delicious veggie wrap by my friend David. While there, sitting outside in the glorious sun on one of their picnic tables waiting for the … Read more
We were up at 9:00, after a full eight hours sleep. Robert put coffee on, and I made breakfast, which consisted of turkey sausage patties on Hawaiian rolls with sliced hard-boiled eggs on them. We enjoyed it all out on my deck sitting at my bar patio set. We enjoyed the fruits—well mostly vegetables, really—of … Read more
This would be a classic example of the rhetorical device known as the double entendre. Go Wilkinson blades! I hope I don’t have another dream about Oprah’s carpet after seeing this. I’m just saying… I finally got around to doing a good cleaning of my kitchen floor after its run-in with my washing machine overflow, … Read more
Today’s buscapades are about problems. I have no idea how the different (physical) buses are assigned to each route, but every once in a while we get a bus that has something wrong with it. A case in point was the one yesterday with the broken stop cord. Today’s problems included what I guess would … Read more
