robotech_masterI'm sitting at one of the public-use computer terminals in the Library Center, about a mile north of the headquarters of QuikDine. It's 15 minutes before I have to be at work; I stopped by to show off my uniform to Jeanne Duffey, my former-aunt-by-marriage who works here at the library in the publicity department. She was decently impressed, I think.
Earlier, I stopped by the new Krispy Kreme, about a mile north of here, just to see what all the commotion was about. It was really something, how the place was set up. There were a couple of cop cars, with flashing lights going, parked along the east side of the street to direct people into the parking lot; the lot was set up with orange traffic cones to turn it into the equivalent of the roped-off stand-in-line areas you see on amusement park rides or ticket booths—only this was for cars to go through the drive-through! There were tents and vans from various radio stations, a smaller roped-off-line area under a tent for customers on foot to wait, and people wandering around with tanks on their backs dispensing free coffee. I didn't even get near the door, there was such a line. I didn't feel like waiting 25 minutes for a doughnut or two, so I took the complementary cup of coffee and went on my way. Mighty good coffee, though.
Getting to be time to get on my way down to the HQ area. I'm a bit nervous, especially since I didn't sleep well last night. I'm hoping and praying everything goes okay and I don't have an accident. I'll report further later on today or tonight as I have the chance.
