Prudie, doing what she does best—ripping somebody a new asshole. Today, “E.T.’s Mom” is the proud owner of a fresh anus. Dear Prudence, I am a 50-year-old mother of three beautiful boys. However, I am having a problem with the oldest son, “John,” who is a senior in college a few hours from home. Recently, John … Read more
Today, which seemed rather arbitrary, the bus turned left on Hillsborough Street where it never had before, totally bypassing my stop. Right before this happened, I heard the bus driver saying something to someone, which I couldn’t understand, but I saw her pointing ahead. This made me suspicious enough to go ahead and get off … Read more
Casey planned to leave for work at 7:00 this morning, and I had my alarm set for 7:15. At abut 10 ’til 7 there was a knock on my bedroom door. “John, your car won’t start. It cranks and cranks, but just won’t turn over. Have you had this problem before?” I did go through … Read more
We showed up for our 5:40 “ride” at 5:45 and joined about 10 or 12 other people. The bus made another stop in the Saratoga Springs resort, where we picked up several more people. One of the Disney Magical Express (and as you know by now, I use the terms loosely) stipulations is that you … Read more
John was a dull boy today. I worked for about seven hours, but at least it was work that I like, and the time just flew by. At times, I was in what Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi would called “flow.” Since not too much happened today, I’m going to take advantage of this cyber real estate, and … Read more
I had two meetings canceled at work today, which left me with none. Sweet! I worked all day on finishing up those tedious meeting minutes I was working on yesterday. Still tedious. Someone tweeted a link to this today: And a major FAIL on failblog.org: And, finally, this in from Kirk who told us about … Read more
Back to work today. What fun. The day started with our weekly staff meeting, which was productive enough. I spent the afternoon working exclusively on the minutes of our March University IT Committee meeting. Tedious. My boss made a good observation about how long it takes to do minutes: “It seems like they should call them … Read more
We had breakfast again at the poolside bar and restaurant. I had the “Caribbean French Toast” today, Very yummy. We had a lazy day, just hanging around the resort, so I’m going to capture something in today’s entry that actually happened on Friday. If I were home, this would be much like a buscapade. We were … Read more
We were up around 9:30 or so today, and broke our promise to never drink again by 3:00. We had breakfast at the poolside bar and restaurant, and I had their three-cheese omelet again. That thing is just so freaking good. David dropped by around noon or so, and the three of us walked down … Read more
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
