Still dressing on the bus, a DADT kind of lunch, and very limited progress from mom’s hip surgery…

~Tuesday~ I caught the Wolfline #9 this morning, on which students were in various states of being ready to leave their house, although it obviously hadn’t stopped them: One girl’s hair was still wet, one guy was tying his shoes, and another guy was unbuttoning the sleeves of his long-sleeve shirt and rolling them up. … Read more

A skosh revival, hey’s for horses, and Baby Got Front…

~Thursday~  I started my work day at Bruegger’s, where when I walked in I said to the award-winning manager and team, “How’s my favorite morning crew?” “A pumpernickel and honey-walnut cream cheese bagel, is that it?” the cashier asked. “And a small cup of coffee, please,” I replied and then added, “Just a skosh of … Read more

An electric bug zapper horn, a dominatrixy Asian, and a festive dance night…

~Wednesday~  I was actually ready early this morning, and rather than driving to a nearby Wolfline stop, I killed some time by slicing up a cantaloupe I bought yesterday and emptying my dishwasher. After all that, I almost missed the bus. It pulled up when I was still crossing the street to get to the … Read more

A pampered clarinet, a staying brutal passenger, and a customer service rant…

~Tuesday~  I packaged my clarinet in its case, which fit perfectly into my empty Pampered Chef deviled egg server box. The length was exact, and I stuffed plastic grocery bags down the two-to-three inch column on either side of its width. I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village bus at Gorman and Avent Ferry, where … Read more

Eating on my mind, wet things on my buns, butter-soaked corn and I don’t care…

~Thursday~ I caught the Wolfline bus at the Avent Ferry and Gorman stop again this morning, and the ride was uneventful. I attended our weekly 1.5-hour Google Implementation Team meeting in the Avent Ferry Technology Center, to which I rode courtesy of my colleague and friend, Sarah. I spent most of the time in the … Read more

Another banana on the bus, wanting to tap your audience, a dancing dinner for Van, & fun dancing…

~Wednesday~  I was ready between city buses, so I drove up to Avent Ferry and Gorman to catch a university bus. I caught the Wolfline #9 Greek Village, on which once again, a hot guy thought it would be a good idea to sit holding a banana between his legs. Way distracting. I had no … Read more

A microbial neck sprain, loitering at the gym, and turning laundry a social event…

~Tuesday~  I stepped outside at 8:20 with every intention of hopping in my car and driving over to the Wolfline stop, but decided to take a chance that the city bus was destined to arrive at its mode, 8:22. Not that the concepts of “bus” and “destiny” should ever be conflated. The bus arrived at … Read more

A cranky cranky morning, arrogance on the bus, a new razor AND blade, and tossing my salad…

~Monday~  I woke up not feeling at all like going to work. I thought of a reference made in a Facebook status update by my friend Hugh yesterday: Two things were contributing to my malaise this morning: My left eyelid was totally swollen and itchy. I smeared some Bacitracin on it, and spent the whole … Read more
