09:34: i have had a terrible day.
i slept at around 2am on monday morning. i got up a few hours later to go to clark to get my clearance processed. i went to clark, got bounced around, back and forth, between floors and between buildings, trying to find all my stuff and trying to get all the signatures needed for clearance. i couldn't find my gaiman books from karl v, nor my maradona figure which i left on my cpu. well, maybe next time.
i got back home, checked my mail and facebook, and attempted to charge my dying celphone. it would not charge. i tried another outlet. nothing. and another outlet. and a fourth outlet. nada. i tried my old spare charger. still nothing. where was my original charger, the one that came with the kit? lord knows. i left it here at home and it disappeared. i desperately took a crash course in navigating one of jan's spare phones. (i still can't figure it out.) i then took a shower and got ready to go to gateway to hand over some stuff and pay my phone bill. that went well enough.
i went to work, praying that support had fixed my pc which crashed last saturday morning while i was doing my last 2 lesson reports. no such luck. i told zoey about what happened on saturday morning. they went to check on it. it worked, for about 20 or 30 minutes, then died again. they gave me a replacement pc, a vista, while they worked on mine. vista was working fine as i prepped for my classes. 5 minutes before my first class, it forced a reboot and i couldn't override it because i didn't have admin access. i was late for that lesson and had to use the unoccupied pc across from my desk. of course, that snowballed and affected the other lessons i had after that. the vista forced a restart on me twice today. twice. i finished my reports and left the office at 8am. came in 45 minutes early for the start of my shift, and left 4 hours after my shift. if either archie or vicki were still my bosses and they knew about this, they'd kill me for staying at the office for too long. but really, i wouldn't mind spending 14 hours at the office if it didn't involve having your work screwed up by sucky computers.
now i am home. all i've had since i got up to leave for clark was 1 mountain dew on my way back from clark, one chai tea latte at coffee bean in gateway, and one cup of hot milo boosted by a teaspoon of coffee from the office pantry. i have not eaten since sunday evening. i have not had the time to do so. when i got home, i checked the ref... yummy looking food from father's day with the ortegas. i asked the maid to heat me some food, any food, thinking anything from the ortegas was always good. she served me some crap tinola from yesterday's lunch instead. oh, the irony....
but you know what? there was one good thing about this day. and it outweighs all the other bad stuff. know what it is?
