My roommate is driving me out of my room and complaining about my not having headphones.  Of course, she feels free to let loose with peals of her horrible screechy laugh whenever she feels fit, and is glad to stay in the room all the time.  She's even looking over my shoulder and pretty much asking if I'm a pathetic internet nerd (right now, I moved a few floors down to one of the lounges).  Basically, I'm not going to be able to rest this semester, because she keeps on making such an enormous annoyance of herself.  Lazy chit.

Furthermore, I barely finished 1/4 of my problem set due this Tuesday.  This was due to underestimating the difficulty therein.  I won't be doing that again--that stuff is really hard.  On the other hand, multiple class changes and my birthday are pretty good excuses for having been lazy.  On the other other hand, the main reason why I stopped working is because it's been so long since I did serious mathematics that my current diet no longer supports it, so after 3 hours' hard concentration it started feeling like something was drilling through my skull, and I wound up extremely hungry.  Before that I'd eaten to the point of feeling sick.  Now I feel sick in an entirely new and fabulous way.

God, math, I wish I knew how to quit you =/

Oh, and I still hate fixing buggy programs.

You never get good at fixing buggy programs, you just get good at not causing the bugs in the first place... Or rather making the program in a way that when bugs come up, you know exactly where.

I am actually annoyed on your behalf. I know how this feels, and I don't really have the stomach for it. I can only be polite for so long before I had to start avoiding these people!

I really hope that the online corrector is wrong. But somehow I doubt the mistake will be big enough. An inopportune cold has costed me 8 months :-(

Flash. Frigging hate this thing. It's randomly decided not to do anything when I click on stuff and the trace function's doing nothing. FUCK FLASH.

EDIT: Clicking turned out to be because it was a shape rather than a sprite. Trace still refuses to work.

Hmm, I think a friend of mine has decided to block me from all social sites, not 100% sure why, not what I need right now...

I just got home from work, fell asleep on my floor and had a horrible dream where I was back in my old, crappy town, in the supermarket with everyone laughing at me for some reason, probably my bumbling around and then some fat lady behind the counter started lecturing me on wearing good shoes to take care of my feet, or something? ???
And then she pointed to some weird hippy-looking guy, who started loudly describing better kinds of shoes, much to everyone's amusement. So then I grabbed my change and stormed out, then realised I'd forgotten my groceries. Rather than put myself in for more embarassment, I started running to escape whoever would doubtless come after me with my shopping, and ended up hiding behind a shed.
Wow, I mean, I usually have weird dreams, but jeez. :P

I typically have nightmares where I'm driving or on some form of conveyance, and then it goes flying off the road/track/whatever and into a lake. But it's oddly peaceful, because my first thought is always, "Well, that's it. I'm dead." Because I can't swim.

You'd think that would create a fear of deep water, but no....I love boating and driving on bridges. I just sort of know in the back of my mind that if anything goes wrong, it's going to suck trying not to choke and gasp and just drown peacefully instead.

Drowning is anything but peaceful, since it takes about 15 minutes to suffocate fully. :/

And it's not like those situations are inescapable, you just need to remain calm and know what to do, and hopefully you know how to swim.

My Son got his shots yesterday.


He was such a trooper. Cried a totally appropriate amount considering they got him with frigging 4 needles. Then he was mostly okay, smiling and happy. His legs are still sore though, when I changed him this morning he was all happy, but when I had to lift his legs he cried. :( Hopefully after today he'll be all healed

Called some very busy clients a week ago to set up a remote session on their server so that my boss can check some settings and analyze their network since we will be managing a portion of their network soon.  It's not too difficult, but takes time out of their day to give us access.  I set the remote to last 7 days just in case and told the client that my boss will get all the information he would need overnight, and let my boss know it was ready as instructed.   I was idle for a time and got the relevant information myself as well, but my boss insists on seeing to it himself.

Cut to 8 days later today, and it seems my boss never got around to it.  And wants me to call them again to set it back up again for him.  All of this was supposed to have been taken care of half a month ago, and we're not even past step 1 yet because I need to pass the ball to him to do his part and every time I do he drops the ball.

He's the one who insisted he would leave the 4 month old business and go on tour with a band for a quarter.  He also insisted that he would still do all the things he needed to do.  He hasn't been.  There are now 3 clients piled up that he told me to wait for his word on that have been waiting for entirely too long.  Whenever I get in touch with him my instructions amount to stalling tactics and stuff like "I forgot".  I wouldn't mind so much, it's his business he's burying, if I wasn't the one who had to deal with these people on the phone, and I hadn't already sunk entirely too much unpaid time and effort into this.

I worked for him before, I loved working for him then, we always put the customer first, and I learned a lot.  But now I'm not so sure.  He's off across the country, doing something everybody involved advised against, I'm watching an empty customerless storefront, and the things I don't have sufficient company access to do are not getting done, because the one who does seems to be ignoring it hoping it will go away.

Perhaps I should clarify that this is not merely a dream handicap. I seriously can't swim. And yes, I've tried to learn. My body is simply incapable of floatation.
