As though Monday's weren't bad enough
Today even started out well. (Yes, I'm just launching right in.) I'm taking a lifetime health and fitness course, which I may have mentioned before, and today we actually began doing real nautilus workout. This was good for several reasons. First, working out releases endorphines, making you less bitchy. Second, I found another skinny guy to be my partner, and we are well matched in strength. Third, I'm not as much of a wimp as I thought I was. Finally, I'm going to be less of a wimp when I'm done, plus I'll have a workout routine to contine with. So the day was off to a good start.
Then, as is the case with most bad days, procrastination caught up with me. I spent most of the day working on stuff that was due, well, today. Then I went to my scholarship job, being a professor's bitch office helper. Actually, the job is pretty laid back, mostly mailing and copying stuff. This can suck, however, when the copier refuses to cooperate. I had to make 26 copies of a 20 page document, double-sided. Oh, why oh why must it have been double-sided copies? That is what will kill any copy machine. I swear to you, and this is no exaggeration, that I ended up fixing a paper jam at every conceivable point in the machine. The whole ordeal lasted about one and a half hours. Major suckage. All I have to say is, I completely understand.
Oh, but the story gets better. Later on this evening, I was scheduled to meet with someone. I was late not because of my own laziness, but because my car wouldn't start. It didn't even make a noise when I turned that key. It was just like the car said to me, "Sorry, buck-o, end of the line. I don't give a damn where you think you have to be, I ain't goin' nowhere." (What, like all inanimate objects have impeccable grammar?)
Joy of joys.
So those are some of the highlights of my day. Frankly, I'm ready for it to be tomorrow.
One thing that is pretty cool is the international reach of this blog. I now have hits from Canada, England, Australia, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, and the Czech Republic, and there may be a few that I didn't catch in my stats. To them I say, Welcome eh?, Good Day, G'day, Bonjour, Welkom, Dav, Dav, and Vítat. Sorry if I screw up gender/number, the internet isn't too great at these things.
Finally, your...
Thought for the Day
There is a sign on our bathroom, asking residents to please find another bathroom to use while this bathroom is being cleaned. Now, I've occasionally started to go brush my teeth, but seeing the housekeeping cart outside, opted to wait. I'm just wondering what someone did to have the word "please" bolded, italicized, and underlined on our door. I'm guessing some cleaning lady got a little bit more than she bargained for. That dude must have really had to go, bad.
