An über-productive work day, a delightful lunch, working on my China presentation…
I had an über-productive day at work today, which included: Completing three news blurbs for this month’s OIT News.

All about me, me, me awards, a short night out, and a late dinner…
I have never been one to hang plaques on my wall. I’m not sure why, but I have decided to go ahead and do it here in my office at State. I guess I was motivated by finally getting my diploma framed. It was interesting choosing the four awards that mean the most to me. … Read more
Bus charity, an article pic of me, no badge, a famous subway performer, fun lunch, and the gym…
This was a first on the bus this morning: A guy using a cane—the metal kind with a rubber top on it for a handle and four forked prongs at the base for stability—boarded the bus and at the entrance by the ticket machine he faced the entire bus and said, “Does anyone have 50 cents to help … Read more
Back to work, a lost badge, voice and email spam, and a cracked mask…
Today was my first day back to work since Christmas eve, and my badge was nowhere to be found this morning. I finally ended up grabbing a business card of mine, which shows that I work at NC State, to try and use to ride the bus free this morning. The driver accepted it. I … Read more
Bus observations, a stamp d’oh, some time with Kevin, and dinner w/Joe…
A woman got on the bus this morning on Gorman Street, on just the other side of Western Blvd, and I’m not saying that her boot heels were quite at the sharpness of stilettos, but she had cleanly pierced a leaf that had become an unflattering, unbeknowst to her, part of her outfit—not unlike some … Read more
A post office visit with some spilled coffee, and an affirming work day…
I walked with Sarah, Jen, and Bill for morning coffee, with an original destination of Dunkin’ Donuts, but Sarah and I ended up at Bruegger’s, while Bill and Jen stopped in Dunkin’ Donuts. I got a pumpernickel bagel with plain, lite cream cheese, and a small cup of coffee. On the way back, when we … Read more
Work and a little bit of 80s music and videos…
Today was our work holiday party over at the Arboretum on Beryl Road. It was quite the festive time. I sat with a fun group of folks, and I vacuumed up the place when it was over. I took a nap at home, and went to Flex for just a little while. On and off, … Read more
A good day at work, getting what’s (over)due (namely my photos), and Act A Lady…
I had another good day at work today—working at a good clip, but not crazy, and getting a good amount of work accomplished. Late morning, I checked my e-mail notification to confirm that my photo cards should indeed be at that K-Mart by now, so I called there. As soon as I said my name, … Read more
A good day’s work, a misjudgment on the bus, a wasted photo trip, and dancing…
I had a good day at work today. On the way home, I took an elderly-disabled seat on the bus, so it was a seat that faced into the aisle. I was in the seat farthest to the right of three like that, so just to my right was the first seat facing forward. This … Read more
Work stuff, including affirmations, back to the gym, shopping, and researching…
My work day started off with professional affirmations about some work I recently completed—one affirmation from my manager and one from my manager’s manager: “Thanks so much, John! I spot a few errors of fact (picky, picky), but this is a great start and plan.” “I like where this is headed. Thanks for the good … Read more
