Xfer of responsibility, never been there, funeral parlor shenanigans, MBD BOD meeting…

~Tuesday~ Today brought about a transfer of responsibility on the bus. Specifically, the accounting for my free ride each day has been transferred from the bus driver to me. It used to be that I just flashed my NCSU Campus Card at the bus driver and s/he pushed some button on the computer attached to … Read more

Didn’t love the guy, a morning of meetings, a big lunch, and a night in…

~Tuesday~ This morning at 8:00 was my appointment with my new dermatologist. This is the doctor that my GP, whom by now you know I love, recommended to me back when I saw her in May. Yes, I finally got around to making an appointment with him. This is what I wrote about him in … Read more

Vitriol on the bus, parochial school dress, Google craters, and calendaring…

~Monday~ Today’s buscapade involved—what appeared to me as—unprovoked vitriol. It was cold when I got on the bus, which to me is never a problem. I always prefer it to be too cold over being too hot. After several stops, the bus driver finally turned off the AC, not by any suggestion of anyone that … Read more

Silly Putty suicide, additional postage required, a short workout, & playing in a Washing Machine…

~Friday~ Two normally unrelated things in my life came together this week: the campus on which I work, NC State University (NCSU) a fellow blogger and friend, Ginny Skalski when NCSU did a public experiment and Ginny recorded it and put it on her website, 30threads.com. Before you look at the video, picture in your … Read more

Kathryn’s wedding, Age of Arousal @ Manbites Dog, and “lights out night” at Flex…

Robert arrived at about 12:30, and we left the house at about 1:40 for Kathryn and Mark’s 2:00 wedding at Forest Hills Baptist Church over at Dixie Trail and Clark. We wound through an amazing maze inside the church to find “the little chapel in the back.” On the way in, we met two of … Read more

Bus stops, a gown that shouldn’t be white, an obit to die for, and a star singer…

I was in the office today from 1:00 until 10:30, and I got an absolute ton of work done. Yay! Someone tweeted a pointer to this article: 15 Unusual and Creative Bus Stops. Being the veteran bus rider of over six months that I now am, it of course caught my attention. Click on the above … Read more

Another early AM meeting, “NEXT STOP PLEASE,” our annual HOA meeting, and a trip to Lowe’s…

My work day started off, once again, with a 9:00 meeting. That’s two for two this week. I attended a 1:00-2:00 meeting about the creation of web design guidelines for our organization. I was sitting in for my officemate (and teammate), who would’ve been there instead if she hadn’t have been out sick. I spent … Read more

MBD Board Meeting, and Yelena and Josh’s wedding…

I was up at 8:00 this morning, and did just a little more work on grants for our Manbites Dog board meeting. Specifically, I looked at applying for a Google Grant for our organization. Getting that grant, we’d also get free access to Google Checkout. I headed to Durham at 9:30, actually leaving enough time to make … Read more
