This has been a profoundly irritating day.
For one thing, both my car and Wendy's car have been towed to the next lot over, resulting in extra fees added to our rent. Our apartment complex has an inconvenient and somewhat vague snow removal policy. Last year's manager dealt with it by placing notices in all the apartment doors on the day of a large snowfall, telling us when they planned to plow. If somebody still managed to fuck up, they got a nastygram when the rest of the lot was plowed, and if the car wasn't moved after that, it got towed. This year's policy is supposedly the same, but it isn't being enforced the same way. The only notice of impending snow removal was posted at the building exit, but not far enough in advance to be seen before it was too late, and cars were towed immediately. The towed cars filled a row of the adjacent lot. The new manager informed me over the phone that she isn't required to give any notice, and that she's doing me a favor by not having my car towed off-premises.
I also had my first final exam today. No, it's not finals week yet. The analytical chemistry professor decided to have the final exam 5 days earlier than the scheduled exam time, for reasons best known to him. He also blew off the last week of class. Laziest professor ever, seriously. This was one of only 2 exams, each worth half my lecture grade - so no pressure or anything. I don't think I did very well. It was mostly memorization and I memorized the wrong things. It's a curved class, so I won't have even a guess about a letter grade until whenever all the exams are graded.
Sometimes the only constructive thing to do about a bad day is go to sleep early, with the happy knowledge that the bad day will be over by the time you're conscious again. My body does not comply.
