I think your volumes of music for torch songs and knowledge of gowns will impress them though.

Asus laptop hardware is not designed well. I've been trying to replace the keyboard for 3 days and it is ******* impossible. This is an old notebook (got it right when the w3j came out, 2005?) but I don't have the money for a new one yet.

It's nearly 10:30, and I'm still at work. I'll probably be here for AT LEAST half an hour more. 15 hour days FTW!

I forgot to submit my credit card payment a couple of days ago. So dumb.

It seems at the moment as soon as I get something fixed something else breaks. Last week the upstairs lighting all broke, got that repaired, then the shower died.


I sit around all morning waiting for the plumber to install a new shower (at great cost) when he is clearly late I call his boss "oh, I'm sorry I thought we had a agreed friday". Agreed friday ******.

So I go into my bedroom to get dressed and get on with the stuff I should have been doing, I draw the curtains. One side of the curtain rail falls down spraying plaster and leaving a nice big hole.

I go to my laptop to look up mounting a rawlplug in pollyfilla so maybe I don't have to start from scratch. My laptop dies.

I nearly lost my temper, I was on my feet laptop in hand about to throw it across the room. I don't normally do things like that but goddamn, it's just one thing after another.

You should know that Jaleo serves a tapa that consists of a sausage on a pile of white beans called "the Daniel Patrick Moynihan"--I've yet to meet a server who could explain that one, but it's delicious and about as close as you'll get to... nevermind.

Tenant's rent check bounced earlier this month. After a string of excuses he was supposed to deposit cash into my bank yesterday. He deposited another check after being told (and agreeing) that personal checks would not be accepted for payment. Called his bank this morning and was told that the account does not have funds to cover the new check. Now I have to waste my weekend compiling everything for my lawyer next week.

I'm not sure why that's named after Moynihan either, but it is a traditional tapa. And one of my favorites! Maybe he liked it a lot.

Ordered a new briefcase in early Feb. Was supposed to take 4-6 weeks to make. It's now been 6 1/2 weeks, so I called today to check. Now looks like it will take another couple of weeks or so. Not a big deal. Don't need it by a certain date or anything. A really small thing in the context of life, death and the impending baseball season. It's just that I'm excited to get it and am an impatient bastard. My impatience is what's pissing me off.

Just found out a childhood friend of mine died. I hadn't seen him in 10 years, but we were very close friends for a couple of years in elementary and middle school. At a real loss right now, even if I hadn't seen him in a decade.

Just made the same amount of money in a two days that I used to make in two weeks. I've already spent half of it on new lab equipment. The new gear is necessary, and I do love my gear, but I wish I could just pad my bank account instead. At the same time, I feel that internal tension building whenever set my eyes on something that I want to buy. A new home server would definitely simplify some things for me, but when I do build it (and i've already speced it), it's gonna be expensive, and deep down I know that I can manage without it until i have a steady source of income again.
