~Saturday~ I love starting my day off with a laugh, although it rarely happens as I’m not at all a morning person. Perhaps if I were more open to it, it would happen more often. My doorbell rang at 8:05 and when I opened the door, I found the guy here to do my quarterly … Read more
~Friday~ This morning, I took the bus seat in front of Sci-Fi Fantasy Man who was, well, reading science fiction fantasy, as that’s what he does. I was just happy to see him. In addition to the standard, long bus rear view mirror, on this bus there was a little round mirror as well—about a … Read more
~Tuesday~ Again this morning, none of my peeps were present on the bus. I’m beginning to wonder if they all got cars for Christmas. I took a seat in front of a man who was eating his breakfast in his seat. I immediately thought of the recording that plays as the bus turns from Hillsborough … Read more
~Sunday~ I forgot to capture this from yesterday. It’s from a follow-up e-mail from my uncle, from which I wanted to capture a few more affirmations: Writer you are, I would be on the computer 24 hours if I wrote all the things you write about. You do one hell of a job… I will … Read more
~Saturday~ I was up at 8:30, and I made coffee and had a bagel along with a hard-boiled egg minus the yolk. Checking my e-mail, I was surprised and delighted to receive a note from my uncle in Florida, who had received my Christmas card and letter. It had a lot of affirmations in it, … Read more
~Friday~ I’m so grateful for having been able to work from home today. I got a boatload of stuff done including: four news blurbs for December’s OIT News, completing an edit of that document for our CIO that I started yesterday, and editing a document in full that my manager wrote on “Green IT.” I … Read more
~Wednesday~ Due to the nasty, nasty weather this morning—some wind and torrential rain, I drove over to the Wofline bus stop on Gorman, where I can sit in my car across from the stop until I see the bus coming, and which drops me off much closer to my building than the city bus. For … Read more
~Tuesday~ The bus was running late this morning—almost five minutes past the time when it usually is the latest that it arrives. I put on my patience hat, which never has fit very well. Entering the bus, I was greeted by an ear-piercingly loud noise that continued the entire trip. I don’t know how the bus … Read more
~Monday~ Wrong Way Willie was driving this morning, but he took the correct route today. I suppose he may never live down the fact that he took a wrong turn one day. I certainly can’t see myself dropping it. I’m going to go ahead and rename a character here, and I’ll mention both of her … Read more
~Friday~ I was back on the 8:15 city bus this morning, where I took a seat behind Library Man who was reading his trade magazine, ArcNews, and specifically, an article entitled, “Nine Innovations in ArcGIS 9.4.” Not that I was nosing over his shoulder or anything. At Li’l Dino‘s stop, she did not get on … Read more
