Crummy day

[janetlin]

• First rain of the season.  Cold and wet: two things I hate to be. (cold is only acceptable if it's cold enough to turn the rain into snow)
  
• Finger slipped on the alarm pad at work while trying to disarm it this morning, set off the alarm.  And of course there are no instructions for disarming it once it's been tripped, out where they can be found.  The alarm company was apparently able to reach Linda on her cell phone, and after fifteen minutes of shrieking ringing, it stopped.  The only good thing there is that my arrival at work at precisely 9 am is now well-documented.  Really, though, I was almost looking forward to a dispatch showing up; maybe it would have gotten me out of the.....
• Geology midterm.  Oh god it's been a long time since I had to improvise essays.
• It took the bus forever to get to school to pick me up.  Or maybe it just felt that way because I was sitting out in the rain while waiting for it.  My jeans are still wet.
• Rew, Jordan, and Katie went to see the Prestige tonight.  Rew had told me they were thinking about it, so I got all excited about it and we were trying to go on Sunday.  Due to Grandma's birthday party and mom for some reason needing to take Rew to lunch, we couldn't go then.  Jordan calls me up tonight and tells me that he and Katie are going to see it tonight, and that due to his work schedule, there will probably never be a time when both he and I are available.  So he said he'd tell Rew and leave it up to him whether he wanted to go with them, or wait and go with me.  Yeah, real hard to guess that one.  So Rew _calls_ me to tell me he's going with them.  Fine, whatever, I'll just see it when it comes out on video.  And I hung up on him.  Asshat.
  
• Alan turned his phone off so I couldn't call him on his lunch break

So it's only ten o'clock and I'm thinking of going to bed because I have nothing else to do.  Nobody's online (not that I have a big list of contacts, anyway).
