eirenical*eyes icon* Yeah... that about sums it up.
*waves to all the people she's missed* Sorry I've been absent lately. I've been immersed in the new job and the complete reorganization of my life. O_o;;; I've been busy. On the upside, the new job seems to be going well -- there is no comparison between it and the last job. Overall, I'm much happier. I don't know if it's a forever kind of job, but at the very least it'll make for happy transitioning. ^_^
So, why did today suck so hard? Let me tell you.
0) Two days ago my computer updated Firefox without asking me first... and ate all my bookmarks. So, I've been in a simmering state of angryirritatedfumingpissedthehelloff since then. That's just to start.
Now on to today.
1) I awoke at 8 AM (having fallen asleep at 3:45 the night before) and was unable to go back to sleep. :-P That's never good.
2) I decided to be productive with my time and make a pot of chili for consumption later on that night. I burned my chili. I'll repeat that. I burned my chili. I don't do that. Damned new stove. I knew I should have watched you more closely. *sigh*
3) When I went to wash out the pot, I discovered that no water was coming out of the faucet. *sweatdrop* I kid you not. I called my landlord who came right down. Turns out the problem was a busted water main. The town was already in the process of fixing it.
((Sidebar: while landlord was there, he finally told me that the reason that the stove vent doesn't work is that there isn't one, there never was one, and he might consider doing something about it in the spring. In short, I was told to buck up and deal. Butthead. :-P))
4) Now I have no food, no water and it's 11:20. I have to leave for work in 80 minutes and my hair is greasy and gross as I have taken no shower. I am not a happy chibi at this point. My mother passes me the suggestion to call my Aunt (who is now 7 minutes away from me) and ask to use her shower. Brilliant! I go to my aunt's house and shower. Then when I'm turning the shower head back towards the direction it was in when I got in the shower... it falls down on me!! *hangs head in shame* I was absolutely mortified. I wanted to cry. Here my aunt was nice enough to let me come over and invade her shower... and I broke it.
You see where this was a crappy morning? Fortunately, my aunt reassured me that it wasn't my fault, apparently that shower head falls down often. *sweatdrop* Then she and my uncle made me lunch and sent me home with food for later. ^_^ She also informed me that now that my three bad things had happened for the day (the chili, the water main and the shower head) that I was done with my bad luck and the rest of the day would be better. I love my aunt. ^_^ Fortunately, work was fine, albeit very slow -- all you non-vets... why does no one take their dog/cat to the vet in the winter? Is it the threat of snow? Too cold? Don't want to be bothered? What? O_o;;; Anyway, though the day was slow, nothing disastrous happened. Apparently my aunt was right. ^_^
And now I sit at my computer, employing my new Movie Edit Pro software to burn episodes of Power Rangers in Space onto DVD in real DVD format. ^_^ I will finish ARBAON, dam-nit! Now if only I wasn't so anal and could skip to burning the Zhane episodes... *sigh* Oh well, in time. ^_^
*snugs* 'Night!

pats the chibi
Date: 2009-02-01 03:04 pm (UTC)Been having revamping life here too. You'll be happy to know that work finally slowed down to the point where I'm getting out on time instead of at 7pm or later! And no more zombie!T-chan episodes either. That was rather freaky, thank you again for taking care of me while I was wandering around your apartment like a, well, zombie!
Got my raise and bonus (yay!) thankfully - not much in the pot for them this year, but remarkable it's more than I got last year, which makes me rather suspicious of last year's management. Guess I wasn't their buddy enough, considering... leave that one alone for now. And the bonus just about covered the car insurance renewal (double yay! so I didn't have to sniffle too much this Jan.
Although now there's part of me sniffling about now being able to use it for an Xbox, but I keep smacking it and telling it to shut up.
We missed you at the Chinese New Year party - Jess' mom made fried rice and a chicken type dish with noodles and wanton soup for us. Very yummy!
