~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
~Monday~ Kevin ended up getting in closer to 4AM than 3AM, but he got up at 8AM to come downstairs to bid me adieu. At about 8:10, I said to Kevin, “I don’t want to get out there too early for the bus.” I went to my kitchen window and looked out saying, “I wonder … Read more
~Monday~ The 8:15 city bus arrived driven by a man, air-conditioned, but bearing the “Man-up Revival” ad, so I know it’s the same bus that Stagnant Driver usually drives. Someone around me coughed with a hacking cough that made me think, “Somebody’s got consumption.” An older, totally gray-haired lady in a totally turquoise outfit sat … Read more
~Monday~ On the Wolfline bus this morning, an Asian guy sat across from me in a bright red polo shirt, calf-length black pants that stopped four inches short of where his black socks started. That outfit was capped (or should I say “toed”) off with shiny, shiny patent leather dress shoes. The CapadeCam caught part … Read more
~Thursday~ I didn’t mention yesterday that when I got home from work, there was a black Honda Civic parked in one of my two assigned parking spots. There was a time that it used to just set me off when someone was in my spot, but now I try to be rational and only get … Read more
~Monday~ I parked at the Avent Ferry Food Lion Park & Ride, where both the #1 Avent Ferry Wolfline bus and the #9 Greek Village one were waiting. I asked the driver of the #1, “Which bus’ll be leaving first?” “This one,” he replied, and I boarded it. Only five people boarded it along the … Read more
~Monday~I was up at 5:15 and drove to work for 6 AM. I parked behind my building, where it’s free street parking up until 7AM, and then free, but only for two hours at a time between 7 AM and 5 PM. At NC State, there is a thing called The Free Expression Tunnel, where … Read more
~Monday~ I rode the #9 Greek Village Wolfline bus in this morning, on which I sat across from a thin Asian girl eating a piece of toast. It was unbuttered, and I can’t even begin to articulate how slowly she ate it. She must have chewed this one bite one hundred times. It so reminded … Read more
~Monday~ I’m itching to get back to my “life’s routine,” but I didn’t start the day that way, waking up five minutes after I should have been at work. I’d set my alarm clock for 7:30PM instead of 7:30AM. After a quick e-mail to my boss, I rushed through my morning ritual and arrived at … Read more
~Monday~ I rode the Wolfline in this morning for more options to get home in time to make it back to campus for class at 6:00. I wanted my car with me as tonight was Salon VIII, right after class, and we were meeting out at Sarah’s as she’s been having some health issues. On … Read more
