For the second day in a row, my clock-radio alarm failed to sound at audible levels (if you listened very closely, you could faintly hear music playing). And I slept through my phone alarm's several automatic and unpredictable snoozes. Both days I awoke at 6:00 when I'd meant to waken at 4:30 and get some work done. Today was worse because ( Read more... )

Yesterday I found an extra $20 in the ATM. The clerk at the store told me to keep it. It was my lucky day.

This morning, when I checked my mail, I found that I'd be selected to participate in a survey. As an incentive to complete the survey, $5 was included in the envelope.

I thought, Geeze! I'm finding all this random money all of a sudden ( Read more... )

I have a pain in my back that feels like gas pain but isn't alleviated by using the restroom ( Read more... )

There is nothing more unnerving than hearing muffled chuckles behind you every time you turn to write on the chalkboard.

However, the episode ends with Geordi realizing he's been brainwashed and Counselor Diana Troi explaining that, in time, and after much emotional pain, he may recover his memories.

Well, that's a downer, I thought. How can I possibly go to bed now?So I watched another episode ( Read more... )

A couple scattered things...

A couple days ago I raided the vending machine for lunch. The only thing with sustenance were various flavors of PopTarts, so I shelled out $1.25 for what I thought was berry PopTarts. What I got instead were Nascar PopTarts.

On the icing was food-colored Nascar trivia.

What?!??!Also, I find myself saying, "balls ( Read more... )

I've discovered that on mornings when I don't have time to drink that first cup of coffee, things seem to go just not quite right, and usually by no fault of my own, I might add. A sopping wet blackboard or a projection screen that won't go up or a copier not being on and then taking forever to warm up or the only chalk in the room being tiny ( Read more... )
