technology makes me angry
i have printed exactly one thing from my printer, and now it is not working. and jason has lost my startup cd, and nothing will print and i am full of frustration.
mostly, because it totally delayed my change for america boxes, and now they're not quite as awesome as i want them to be. and what's the point of having a printer if you can't print to it.
in other news, the inauguration is nearly upon us, and i am so damn excited.
on monday i found out my student matt has been lying to me for the past 2 months, and hasn't been handing in half his homework. which, of course means he's failing. which, of course, pisses his grampa off. which puts my job seriously in risk. for now they're keeping me on because finals are coming up. but next month, who knows?
then, afterwards, i went my training for the pic, because i am volunteering for the inauguration. mike and i were assigned the same training night, as well as the same training group, so i had someone to bug when i got bored. plus, i got grilled cheese and to meet rob afterwards, so that was nice (and way better than saturday night when he got god damned retarded after indebleu). it was a oretty cool evening tho, with a ton of new faces. danielle may never go out with me again, but that's what happens when there are open bars (no, it's ok. we just got silly drunk)
i've been eating like it's going out of fashion. i don't know if it's because of the cold, or because i discovered i can buy chocolate icecream and fluff and make my own chocolate marshmallow icecream, but for the first time since october i gained weight. i was pretty happy. i was 10 lbs from one of my ideal weights, so i'm hoping this binge period passes. i'd like to be in 26-32s (waist to leg) by the spring. right now i'm at 30-32, so it seems like a reasonable hope. i'd also like a gym membership. mer.
at least my lessons are starting to pick up, which means i'll have a bit more money soon. looking for the bright side of life. looking for any reason to think 2009 will be better than 2008 (who would have thought 2008 could have been worse than 2007? i guess life finds a way, yes?)
so, this weekend is gonna be pretty sweet. rockband with pete, mike daisey with the kids on friday, madness with pete (and thomas?) on saturday, little dome and matt's birthday on sunday, day of service (and maybe my dad?) on monday, and then the best day in american history, with me on the mall by 4:45am on tuesday!!!
unless i can find a ticket. both tina and mike got one this week, so there is still a vain hope i'll get one in the next week.
oh, shit! did i mention in got my grant? I GOT MY GRANT!!!! the dc gov gave me $2000 to produce my play this summer. em and i are waiting to see if roz or pris get accepted to fringe. even if neither of them do, i'm still going to produce the play. it's SOOOOOO awesome!!!! someone gave me money, because they think i'm just that good and making plays happen. i love it when that happens :)
