Eating disorders, despising in others, aboard the Cluetrain, dinner, and a hag…

~Wednesday~  I was up early again this morning, and caught the Wolfline (#9 Greek Village) bus in to work. This was probably the last bus students could catch to get to an 8:00 class, and before it was all said and done, there were people standing in the aisle, but it wasn’t butts-to-nuts. 8:00 classes … Read more

Too many cards up in here, the new year nerd trifecta, class, & a workout encounter…

~Monday~  It was 16° out this morning, and I waited for the bus with my long pants, a sweatshirt, my ski jacket, and gloves on. Fortunately, the wind was hardly blowing at all, so it was not as cold as it might have been with an additional wind chill factored in. Before I could swipe … Read more

Breasts beyond belief, a potato side FAIL, some to-do items checked off…

~Sunday~  I slept in this morning. Glorious Sunday. Right after breakfast, I did two loads of laundry. Facebook is really off base with these ridiculous ads that keep popping up down the right side of my screen while I’m logged in: I tweeted this about them: Hate to tell advertisers that those [obviously Photoshopped—to the … Read more

A cigarette saver, positive IDs, a learning lunch, a meeting outburst, and some reading…

~Thursday~  I was back to my regular schedule this morning, catching the 8:15 bus, and I still didn’t notice any of my named characters aboard. This is crazy! At the next stop, a lady got on whom I’ve talked about in the past, but whom I haven’t yet named. Until now. Cigarette Saver is usually … Read more

I’m a student again, not allowed to eat OPF, ASB dinner, Tiger’s woes, and Ennio…

~Thursday~  I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus into work, which sadly, was lacking buscapde material. These drugs are kicking ass. I can already feel an improvement in my cough. My application for re-enrollment as a student in non-degree status was completed today, and I was accepted back getting my old student ID number … Read more

Conspiring buscapade characters, becoming a student again, MBD signs, and the trivial at trivia…

~Tuesday~  I think my buscapade characters are conspiring against me for riding the Wolfline buses a lot lately. This morning’s city bus offered up only Sci-Fi Fantasy Man, reading as usual, but without the usual ear buds in. None of my other peeps made an appearance today. We had our weekly department meeting from 9:00-10:00 … Read more

DITA, signs of dementia, a confluence of cohorts, sports metaphors, and a workout…

~Monday~  I caught the “short bus” today, meaning I only traveled four stops instead of the fifteen or so I normally do to get to work. And that’s because I attended the first day of a DITA Conference, which was held at the McKimmon Center, which is very close to my house, which is one more “which”—make that two … Read more

A buscapade, an off-my-game presentation, an affirmation love-fest, a soirée and TPPN…

~Thursday~  I forgot to mention yesterday, that on the way home, on that 8:15 bus, the Waffle House Lady was on her way to work. I always see her in the morning on the way home from work. She looks happier in the morning going home. I’m just saying… Just now-christened Diarrhea-of-the-Mouth was on board … Read more

Buscapades and NCSU’s MS in Tech Comm Program Orientation…

~Monday~  The girl in the seat in front of me on the bus this morning did one of those Johari Window’s second quadrant (“blind spot”) things. That’s the quadrant that contains the things you don’t know, but that others do. What she didn’t know that I did know was that when she pulled up her … Read more

Badu’s back, a busy work day, scheduling for The Turn of the Screw, and tunnel light…

~Tuesday~ The Erykah Badu lady with the heavy eyelashes was on the bus again this morning. She had on her black, pin-striped pants again, but the rest of the outfit was different. She had on white eye shadow, which accentuated her eyes and heavy lashes even more if you can imagine, especially since she’s African-American. We … Read more
