Mondays should so be illegal.
I’m here, after much miracle of transport. Our lovely bus system has apparently lost track of time, so my getting here ended up including a taxi. Rather the pricy way to do it, but I still got here an hour earlier than I would have otherwise. And an hour later … Read the rest

I will probably be kicking myself by about noon.

Muuuuuuch better.
Finally out of the office and in the relative safety of my apartment. There is recently ordered food soon to be enroute. Life is good again. If I never have to do something like that again it’ll be way too soon. And now: baseball, soon to be food, and talk … Read the rest

Siiigh.
“My CD-ROM doesn’t work. It must be Dell’s fault.” This isn’t looking entirely too pretty. … I could be here a while. Edit: Well, I may not be here all night at least. CD-ROM isn’t the problem. And her media card reader’s probably fine, too. Computer illiterate people who order … Read the rest
