A glacial pace arm movement, interesting sweat formations, work affirmations, & Finger’s 30th…

~Friday~  I arrived at the city bus stop at 8:16, and I waited on the sunny side of the street (literally, not figuratively) until the bus arrived at 8:25. The Hot Mess Driver was at the helm, but it wasn’t outrageously hot on the bus—just rageously hot. Library Man was aboard, whom I haven’t seen … Read more

A productive board meeting, a relational lunch, The Social Network, and drinking already in progress

~Saturday~  I stopped by Food Lion on the way to Durham and used today’s Krispy Kreme Challenge as an excuse to bring a dozen of their plain, glazed donuts to our Manbites Dog Theater board meeting. I arrived at Manbites right at noon to an appropriate amount of thanks and affirmations, both for the donuts … Read more

Nice perfume, must you marinate in it; creepy guy lurks and leaves; and a seedling costs…

~Friday~  I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus to the Student Health Services stop on Dan Allen Drive. A couple of stops later, two young ladies boarded and took seats next to me, and one of them smelled like she had marinated in Sweet Honesty perfume, if that’s still around. From the Student Health … Read more

What “saggy pants” is thinking, “Nightwork”: an absolute HOOT, and a short Black History Month…

~Thursday~ I was back on the city bus this morning, arriving at the bus stop at 8:17, and the bus arriving at 8:22, once again hitting its mode. For the first time I can ever remember all five people who were already seated were all at a window seat, leaving the aisle seat open in … Read more

Wicked repartee en francais, a retail friend, shattered life pieces, handy Lesbians, & no Joe-Joe’s

~Tuesday~  I drove in to work this morning, as I’ll do tomorrow and Thursdays, since they’re my last three working days of the year and I have exactly three parking permits left that expire at the end of 2010. And after Thursday, we’re off for the rest of the year. Yay! I did something today … Read more

A piece of War & Peace, enriching a life, a customer service rant, disturbing ENOUGH, & Anna reads

~Thursday~  I caught the university’s #9 Greek Village bus at Avent Ferry & Gorman at 8:30. I did have on long pants and a sweatshirt, but at one point, I thought, “Damn, it’s freezing out here!” I looked at the weather app on my phone, and it sure enough was: 32° At the stop after … Read more

UNC CAUSE 2010—Day 2: Our presentation, a dinner cruise, & a night of carousing…

~Tuesday~  I was up at 6:00 and downstairs shortly after breakfast started at 7:00. Everything was delicious that I had—scrambled eggs, hash brown potatoes, sausage, and bacon, but I sure did want some kind of bread, none of which was a part of the spread. I tried to “walk the talk” of taking advantage of … Read more

Cloudy urine collection instructions, a priceless phlebotomist, a loving affirmation, & a road trip

~Friday~  I was up and logged in to work at 5:30 this morning, and I’d sent three e-mails by 6:00. At 7:30, I ran out to my doctor’s office to have some lab work done. When I walked into the bathroom where I was to “produce a sample,” my first thought was, “There really needs … Read more

Desperately seeking affirmations in these trying times, and a fun night of dancing…

~Wednesday~  Since I was up doing three hours worth of work until 1:00 AM, I slept in a little this morning, and then caught the Wolfline #9 GV Tripper to DH Hill bus into work. I first tried to park at the Food Lion Park & Ride, but finding no available spots, I ended up … Read more
