cornerofmadnessyou know this is a no-win sitch right? (shut up, i hear you laughing)
I'm stuck in a room too small as I've mentioned before. So now i have the lap top WITH power cord unlike last week. I have to push it so far back to get it to project in a size larger than a postage stamp that the strip plug cord is stretched. And...it won't let me log on as me. I have to log on as a guest which means i can't get the R drive, my lock-down drive where my lectures live.
I had prepared for this bit of asshattery and came with my flash. Lectures retrieved. Internet...not working. At break one of the IT guys is strolling by. I stop him and say why isn't the net working. He looks. has NO clue. it should work. he'll look into it in detail after class.
Get thru class without maiming self, computer or students. I unplug in and the ground wire breaks off in the wall socket 0_0 No way am I trying to get THAT out. I report it. get new strip plug (and a freaking extension cord so we don't have to put stress on it), don't have time to set it up. email other prof who uses it.
Realizes I forgot to get my blood drawn tomorrow. Tell the prof i share the math/science club with that i can't make the meeting next monday because i have the doctor's appt then run down after work and who is the phleb? a student of mine. luckily, a highly intelligent one (finished h.s. and college by age 18). He draws blood like a dream. reminds me i need to send his paperwork to med. school.
come home in a downpour (oh tomorrow morning shall be truly exciting), die of exhaustion.
so have more icicle">

Date: 2011-01-19 10:58 am (UTC)And PRETTY ICE - I wish I had wintered up there instead of here. It was in the 60s and humid (so it felt like 40, without the pleasure of 40), and it rained most of the day.
*le sigh*
