Taking a day off...
So supposedly I slept through the storm of the season last night. Massive thunder that shook windows. Lightning that was awesome. HAIL.
Why the hell does my body choose to let me sleep through THAT, but the random noise that my fan started making is what woke me up?
I need to clean so I can get Chuck in here to fix my fan. It's uncomfortably stuffy in here without the air moving in my bedroom.
Once again, I had a vacation that was coming up get completely canceled at the last minute. Was going to go to the beach for a last vacation before the semester starts. My advisor is out of town, along with his wife who I kind of see as a secondary advisor. I had already told my labmates. And then 2 days before the vacation that I was so excited to go on.. I get an email. Not even a call. Not a face to face. An email from my friend (who had been avoiding my phone calls all weekend long so I hadn't heard from her since Friday morning) saying that she really should concentrate on her labwork so she can get in to the lab. So she really can't take time off.
Good reason. I can't argue with it and she really does need to. So I'm not going to say the reason is bullshit.
But if that's the case, then why the hell did SHE suggest the vacation at this time? SHE is the one that said "Hey, my advisor is going out of town, we should take a vacation too!" SHE is the one that planned the dates. We were talking about things even on Thursday and Friday about what we were going to do, what we were going to cook, inviting her friend along, how we were going to deal with her cat, etc.
And then radio silence for 2 days.
Then "Oh.. not going. Sorry."
Mind you, I'd asked her last week Wednesday night if she could take time off from lab. If it was a good idea. If she had stuff to do. Her reply was "With where I am in the project, next week I won't be able to really do anything without Edward, and he won't be here. So no, I really don't have anything to do."
So now a second vacation has been canceled at the very last minute. I'm TAing in the Fall, so there's no way for me to take off during the semester to take a vacation. I have to meet up with all the other TAs sometime in the week before classes. That leaves all of 2 more free weeks. Including this one.
No last fling before the school year starts. And I really needed one.
So I'm taking a day off today. I was planning on only working 2 days this week anyways, so I figure taking a day off to work 4 in total is valid.
Still very pissed off.
