When Things Go Awry
The Quiz wants you all! Heed its call!
Right. Obligatory commercial out of the way. On to the juicy bits.
19-day workweek: Finally over. That was good, as my body was on the verge of calling it quits, and I was tired and cranky and irritable, and I hadn't seen my housemates in days on end. I mentioned this all in my previous post. I did forget to offer a hearty thank you to katieledge, whose hospitality gave me a little extra rest during those critical days, and to ladybugbutt and fizrep, whose phone calls helped keep my mind clear during certain moments.
I took a day off of work to rest, but more importantly to get to my karate class on time. Going back to teaching karate again is good because A) I like doing it, B) I like the people there, and C) I need the exercise because my tummy's all soft and flabby. Good thing too, because, as I expected, getting there involved driving through the remnants of Hurricane Somethingorother. This made a 45-minute journey take 130 minutes. ANGER!!!!
To add to that, somewhere in the middle of driving through a torrential downpour, a spider crawled across the inside of my windshield. Good self-control made me not crash. Unfortunately, the spider is still there somewhere. Most unacceptable.
And, finally, there appears to be an infestation of fruit flies in our office. What the fuck is up with that?
Now it's time to relax and look forward to what October has to offer. LAN party for Oct. 8-10: all the Rise Of Nations, Age Of Mythology, Diablo II, and Unreal Tournament 2004 we can muster. This is not for the faint of heart! You have been forewarned. After that, birthdays for my lovely housemates, Chiller Theater, and some other stuff. Man, when did I get all busy and shit?
