totally odd day

it started off well... i got up, showered, shaved, and was set to make it into work in really good time (but not enough time for coffee), then i got to the speedway, had no cash, their ATM was out of order, so I left and went to the grocery store (where my bank is), and got some cash and a frappucino (icky name, yummy flavor), and made it to work 20 minutes past when i wanted to be there.

i had to leave early so i didnt get to leave for my usual lunch, and i ended up making microwave mac and cheese. which was icky. i spent the morning in meetings and the afternoon doing follow-up for those meetings, before having to leave at 2:30 to be home to let the cable guy in at 3:00.

well... now it's 4:30. they have a window of 3-5pm, and I called at 4:15 to confirm the appointment. the appointment only means they'll arrive during the window, not finish during the window, so if he shows up at 4:59, it's kosher. although, there's no penalty for them if they miss a window, anyway. you're just SOL, and a few dollars short when it comes to your paycheck. and the time you wasted sitting inside so you could hear the phone or the doorbell.

4:36. Hurry up, buddy. I've got dinner to eat and hostas to pick up. Not that you're gonna fix our rebooting issue anyway.
