smeddley: (Screw-up Fairy)
Friday, May 29th, 2009 02:09 pm
Today started out on a frustrating note before I even woke up. Evidently I slept on my arm wrong, because when I woke up (to the melodious sound of my alarm clock) I couldn't move it. And, because of where said alarm clock is, it made it difficult to hit the snooze without rolling off the bed and doing a face-plant on the floor.

The joy continued as my computer refused to turn on. It's done this before, and when I got home I just kept trying to turn it on until it finally, magically worked.

On my way to work I consoled myself that at least I could whine to my journal! It was at this point I realized I'd left my wallet and phone at home. Sweet!

Things went pear-shaped at work (who says I never screw up?), thankfully it was only a half-day (yay, vacation!). I did get to do some fun calculations (to keep said screw-up from happening again) but that's when I hit yet another fun tidbit...

I re-discovered the joy that is Excel working only in radians! Seriously, who in the hell works in radians? Anyone? Anyone? Yeah. So. Three extra steps got that sorted, but it was frustrating when I didn't realize why it was screwing up.

It wasn't over yet. I burned my ass on the leather seat of car when I got in it to drive home (short skirts + black leather seat + sun = eeeeyyoch!).

And then I washed a black car out in the broiling sun, which is really difficult because it kept drying on me.

To top it *all* off, they're working on my street (a mill and overlay with spot curb repair), and despite the fact that it's going to make it impossible to get into my driveway for a few days, well, have we received any notice? Um, no. And my Dad is going to be here this weekend to get his car, so he may or may not be able to leave...

EDIT: just got the notice! They're working on Monday (weather permitting). He's supposed to leave on Tuesday/Wednesday. *le sigh*

I was going to try to clean up the house so I don't look like too much of a pig, but frankly, a nap sounds so much better right now...
