I'm sick of this bus shit. I waited for 20 minutes at the downtown station, got on the 45, which then took me on a tour of fucking Mt. View before it left me off at Providence Hospital, already late by 20 minutes for class. Head down, walking into the snow, I get onto campus and am seriously disoriented, figure the building I need to be in was on the wrong side of campus. I cut through the engineering building, got kind of turned around, barged in on some pizza lunch event by accident, found my way up the stairs, was affronted by some guy wanting me to sign some petition, got outside again, only to realize that I was on the wrong side of campus. My stupid walkman thing was skipping and for some reason a Kelly Clarkson song got on to my rotation and wouldn't get off. Once I finally made it to class I was 45 minutes late and they were halfway through the worksheet thing they were doing. Luckily the weirdo backwoodsman dude who has a crush on me was there and let me copy off of his paper. (Me, copying off of someone else, who is in obvious lack of chromosomes!) (I know, I'm bitchy). Anyway, the good thing was my backwoodsman admirer gave me a ride to work, but unfortunately was blasting Tesla on his stereo. Fucking Tesla! It's a good thing I read the Chuck Klosterman book 'Fargo Rock City' recently, so it was kind of like post-literary 80's hair band research. Work was pretty OK today. Towards the end of the night this guy came in while I was cleaning up and not facing him, so he did one of those clearing his throat loudly, but in a joking manner things, so I turned around and I must have looked shocked or something because he started apologizing profusely and saying he was just kidding, in which I returned with a very dry, "Well sir, I have no sense of humor." And then it was his turn to look shocked. Then I smiled and it was OK, he laughed. But it made me kind of feel a little silly so closing wound up being not so bad as I danced around with the mop.
My boss gave me a ride home and told me all about how she gets free software off of the internet and promised to burn me the special edition LOTR DVD's. So yay! Not a bad end to a day with a crappy beginning.

They're always having pizza lunches in the Engineering building, you should have asked for a slice and gotten directions while you were there.
I've played Cranium more recently than TP. In fact I'm not sure I've played TP in a while. The last time I remember we got bored of moving around so we just sat around asking questions and drinking if we got it wrong. I think drinking if we got it right would have been better, but that's the way it went.
I think they allocate at least one seat in every class to a backwoodsman. You're lucky it was Tesla coming out of his speakers and not Jerry Prevo, channel 13 late Saturday night Evangelical Baptist minister and millionaire. An Anchorage Institution.
If I worked the hours that you do, I'm sure I'd spend all of my days off sipping tea and reading!
