Entries this day: Duty Unicycle

Duty

12:08pm Monday 5 February 2001

At work today I got the pager. Now if there are any problems with the webserver, I will be paged within 15 minutes. This reminds me of being on Duty at Telecheck, but there won't be people at the office 24/7 watching things. Just the computers monitoring themselves.

I will turn in the pager next Monday before Wende and I leave for Australia!

Oh, and this pager can send email too. That's pretty cool and is just a glimpse of wireless technology creeping into my life.

Unicycle

4:02pm Monday 5 February 2001

I just unied from work, down the street to the bridge, across the bridge and to the school and then back. I must say that the seat on the unicycle is much less comfortable since I had to reinsert the foam padding instead of the 12" inflatable bicycle tube. The tube caught a hole somehow and I haven't taken the time to buy a patch kit and patch it.

I still did relatively well, considering the pain of sitting near the end of my journey. I was able to go all the way across the bridge (a man stopped before he entered the other side, allowing me to pass. "Good afternoon." "Good afternoon.") and all the way back to my car at work, including down the big hump and all the lumps in the sidewalk. I dismounted gracefully with the unicycle in front of me, just like Level One unicycle skills require.

Aww yeah.
