Last day of work this month, Deer Hunting w/Jesus & Robert & Katherine…

I wore shorts and a t-shirt to work today. Among other things, I created an announcement about my trip to the staff, which is now posted in the Staff News section of the Office of Information Technology home page: OIT staff member talks technical communication in China. I picked up Katherine Chandler at the airport … Read more

Back to work, a class, scripts filled, a run to MBD, and a drink on the lanai…

I caught the 8:25 bus today, and Barry, one of my neighbors, and this other sort-of regular at our stop had a little chat. The lady works for the federal government, so was off yesterday for Columbus day. Barry works for the university, as do I, so both state employees, who did not have the day … Read more

Manbites Dog board meeting, a birthday lunch, and finally installed year-old SW…

I went to bed way too late, and got up way too early. I attended our Manbites Dog board meeting from 10:00-12:00, during which—after failing miserably at applying little stickies to invitations—I successfully, and in some cases quite beautifully, addressed a little over 100 invitations to our upcoming fundraiser on November 8, 2008. Ed, with … Read more

Red Robin, some work meetings, eat-in lunch, meeting with Katja, and a little shopping…

I forget to capture this about yesterday: We had a luncheon for a colleague who is getting married in a couple of weeks. It was at Red Robin, a place that I’ve always wondered about, but had never been to. I didn’t realize that it was basically a burger place. Obviously, I’ve never noticed their … Read more

9 hours sleep, exercising, Manbites minutes, Arbitron capture, and an affirmation…

I had nine glorious hours of sleep last night. Yay! I had waffles and eggs for breakfast today. It’s been forever since I’ve had waffles. I had an early afternoon workout, and in preparing to leave for the gym discovered that I’ve lost my water bottle. In the car, I confirmed I hadn’t left it … Read more

MBD board meeting, lunch w/Robert, exercising, dinner@Greek Fiesta…

I attended our Manbites Dog September board meeting today from 10:00-12:00 at the theater in Durham. Only four (of seven) of us were present, and I volunteered to take the minutes. After the meeting, I picked up Robert at his “old” apartment, giving him a break in the middle of moving to his new place, by treating … Read more

Unofficial last work day, The Island (a play), well-wishing affirmations, China visa arrives!

Today was going to be my last day at the office, with my official quit date being tomorrow. However, when it was all said and done, I didn’t get done what I wanted done, so I talked to Woody about “checking out” tomorrow at about 1:30. Robert and I saw The Island, staged by The … Read more
