~Monday~ I got to the stop for the 7:45 bus at 7:49, which is really pushing it, but I knew I hadn’t missed the bus because there were two other people waiting there for it. They both boarded before me, and the second guy was a “piggy banker,” so once he emptied his pocket of … Read more
~Sunday~ We had a leisurely morning. Casey did some laundry and a little volunteer work for Distributed Proofreading, which is “an organization that provides a web-based method to ease the conversion of Public Domain books into e-books.” I worked on catching up a few days of my blog, with it taking an inordinate amount of … Read more
~Saturday~ When I got down to my kitchen, there was a sticky note on my thermostat from Casey that he’d just left to go for a run. This inspired me to run to the gym right after a quick breakfast. I did a 40-minute cardio workout on the elliptical machine, for a 711-calorie burn. There … Read more
~Monday~ I caught the 7:45 city bus, and once on it, I sent an instant message from my BlackBerry to my officemate—who is in the process of becoming my boss—asking her what time a meeting was that she was attending today, as she wanted some input from me for it. I thought it was at … Read more
~Wednesday~ The 7:45 city bus was on the late side, arriving at about 7:58. Who’s keeping track? When it pulled up, I noticed that its front and center sign that alternately displays the route (#12 Method) and the direction (Inbound or Outbound) indicated outbound. However, when it gets to my stop, it is inbound. I’m … Read more
~Tuesday~ I took Kevin (av8rdude) to the airport this morning to pick up his rental car instead of this afternoon to catch his flight back to Seattle, as his plans changed while he was here, and he’s off to the northeast instead. I worked from home with the exception of running in to the office … Read more
~Labor Day Monday~ Oh glorious holiday! I slept in. Kevin (av8rdude) took my car to spend a few hours with some Raleigh friends of his, and I took advantage of the time at home to devise my Sunday blog entry; load dirty—and then unload clean—dishes from the dishwasher; and wash, dry, and fold a load … Read more
~Sunday~ Oh glorious sleeping in, I appreciated you so much this morning. I went to the gym at around 2:30, where I did 60 minutes of cardio work on the elliptical machine for an 1162-calorie burn. I really wasn’t “feeling it” today, and the inner dialog started right at about the 20-minute mark with, “I’m … Read more
~Saturday~ I woke up at 10:59, and I was happy to turn off my alarm that I thought was going to screech at 11:00, but it was actually set for 11:30. A quiet—less harsh—start to the day at any rate. I stopped by K-Mart on my way to the gym to either get that discount … Read more
~Thursday~ Stagnant Driver drove up and I boarded her mobile jalapeño. Temporary Alice was on board again, and I wondered if she’s switched to some kind of overnight shift somewhere. And if she has, I wonder if she’s still a temporary employee. ‘Cause if she’s not, I should probably change her name to Overnight Alice. … Read more
