A compassionate bus driver, all-I-can-lunch, a difficult meeting, and a diverse night out…

~Tuesday~  I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at the corners of Gorman and Kaplan, and although the temperature was in the 70’s, the humidity was at 75%. Moist. I would describe the university bus this morning as fairly full, but not crowded. The Asian guy I’ve portrayed a couple of times, who usually … Read more

Panera’s choice, a potential publishing publication, Outer Banks bound, & NCGLFF choices…

~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

A brand new dentist’s office visit, uneventful bus rides, and a nappy night in…

~Monday~  I was up at 7:15 and to my dentist’s new office by 7:50 for my 8:00 appointment. I’d received no less than three reminders—one by phone, and two by U.S. mail—that this appointment would be at their new location. Entrance to New Office I’m pretty sure that 8:00 is their first appointment time slot, … Read more

Half-hearted Riley, a public a transportation twilight zone, drinks@Sammy’s, and staying in…

~Friday~  I was late getting to the city bus stop, but did stand there long enough to witness Riley’s half-hearted response to his “mother’s” half-hearted toss of a stick for him to fetch. This little vignette sort of saddened me a bit, as I interpreted her half-halfheartedness as not really being into Riley, and attributed … Read more

A messed up file system, a Lunch & Learn, and the university-level Awards for Excellence…

~Tuesday~ I got a little behind this morning in spite of getting up early, and by the time I’d made coffee and packed my lunch, I’d missed the 8:15 bus. I drove over to the Wolfline stop at Gorman St. and Kings Court, and got on the #9 Greek Village bus at a little after 8:30. … Read more

Bus ruminations, a john on your steps, a beancam, a $$$ meeting, a haircut, and draggin…

~Tuesday~  Above the bus stop, there are a bunch of pine trees, and not because it was raining, but because of the combination of the saturated pine needles and a slight breeze, raindrops kept falling on my head. Rest assured, however, my eyes weren’t turning red; crying’s not for me. Just sayin… This morning the … Read more

Outside voices on the bus, FutureWeb 2010, and a bust of an LGBT BOF @ Flex…

~Thursday~  Xolani and I were up and at ’em again today to catch the 7:45 #12 Method Road city bus all the way downtown, as that’s where he’s working and where I was attending day two of the WWW2010/FutureWeb2010 conference at the Raleigh Convention Center. There were four kids on the bus this morning, which … Read more

An animal cracker vegetarian, straight FiveFinger shoes, tattoo scribble, and some affirmations…

~Monday~  I entered the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus to quite an androgynous boy who made a loud sneeze into his open hand. He looked at it and stopped short of wiping it on his pants. The girl sitting next to him—they looked like a couple—wore this shirt: At first I thought it was an … Read more

81 words, Nummi, Jen & Leo’s cookout, meeting Carla & Chad, Sho Nuff died, and oh the drama…

~Saturday~  In spite of eight hours of sleep, I was up early since I got to bed so early. Yay. I got to the gym early in the afternoon, where I did an hour of cardio on the elliptical machine, for an 1119-calorie burn. The first This American Life podcast I put on my iTouch … Read more

Interviewed for research, lunch w/Susan, upper body work, and alcohol arm curls…

~Thursday~  I went to catch the Wolfline bus at 8:00 to meet a student in the MS in Technical Communication program at 8:30 at Reverie coffee shop on Hillsborough Street, just down the street from my office. Not two minutes after I arrived at the stop, I remembered that it was Easter Break for the … Read more
