I hope you haven't been having problems finding my diaries this week. There's been a fresh one every day. A lot of people at work have been reporting back to me that I've been slacking off (Because they haven't seen new ones) -- I haven't been slacking, off. I think it's the server at work. They've all been new this week and great, if I do say so myself. If you missed one, go back to the archives and check it out.
I've been talking about ichat/isight all week but I haven't shared with you what that experience is like -- look at this:
Jay and Bob
It's a little out of focus (The photo, not ichat) but that's Jay and I having a "face to face" conversation - with sound and full-motion video - there's a slight delay but it's nothing. It's like I'm living in the future! I talked to my boss, Justin, last night. He took me around his apartment and outside -- it was crazy!
I had bus problems again last night, sort of. Maybe it's fair to say that I had Bob problems. I was at the bus stop, there was a huge line and I just wanted to get home. I was on the fence about going to the other stop. Then, a woman turned around and said to me, "Nothing like eating your dessert before dinner." My response to that was, 'What?' She went on to explain that she just ate an ice cream cone. That's when I decided to go.
I get to the other stop, there's no line but there is a sign saying that the bus line will close September 4th due to not enough passengers. So I said to myself, 'There's no way the bus is going to get here on time - they're all getting fired, I'm sure they're not busting their butts to make the 8:15, ha ha' -- While I was thinking that -- two busses from the other company drove by, damn.
So I walked back to the first line and was on my way in minutes. WHEW! If I just would have calmed down in the first place, I could have saved 15/20 minutes. Oh well, I won't have that problem come September 4th. That bus company had dirty busses and didn't always have A/C in the summer. It's a bittersweet ending.
I wrote on Tuesday that I was thinking about going to Michigan, Labor Day weekend with my friend Sarah. I respectfully said no yesterday.The flights are a little weird, I'd have had to wake up at 3:30 AM in order to make it to the airport. Sarah's Mom wrote to me yesterday and said,"You never write, you never call, and now you're not coming to see us, either...gosh - we're all disappointed!" Now I feel like a total JERK, ha ha. They're good people. My kind of people.
That's it from me - Have a great day.
Always,
Bob
