I was. From near 1pm to after 8pm.

(If I was really hardcore, I'd have two quarter-inch patch cord jacks
built into the battery cover so I wouldn't need clamps or assistance to
jumpstart the bike with guitar cords.)

Making guinea pigs hold the wires is good for a few extra punk rock
points, though.

Only the tips were making contact, and I knew the cords were good, since
we've been using them throughout TOP, so there was no risk.

I've done all I know to do in looking for a job. Believe me.
IBB I woke up this morning to a red, splotchy and peeling face. Alas, it
was mine. I don't know what caused this. Maybe too much chlorine in the
pool last night, but I didn't get my face all that wet.

my mother out. even the judge is in onthe deal - judicial whatever
]sommission will hear from me.
sill inside the 'legal' 'process' and it's not looking too good.

(Actually Eric would have gotten even more punk rock points for failing
to start the bike at all, instead pushing it into the street and then
sleeping in a puddle under the stage)

Re #104: I hate this economy. Didn't Bush tell us he was going to
jump-start it? Maybe other should loan him some guitar cords.

Meetings. Feh. I was just starting to build some momentum and really get
things done (good for a monday) and had to sit through an hour long meeting
during which, as usual, not one single important thing was said. My momentum
is wrecked, and since for the last hour I've had nothing to do but sit and
think about how much I dislike this company, I expect a hard time getting it
back.

Today is blah. Last night some high schooler pulled the fire alarm in my dorm
in the middle of the night (this is the 3rd time since I've moved in) so I
got even less sleep than I would have otherwise. Almost falling asleep on
the bus to school. Ms. Lemons was at school today and Ms. Rocha is a wimp
so I didn't really push the kids to think today knowing that I'd have no
backup if I did. I officially teach tomorrow, my "supervisor" is coming.
And because I'm so brillant I left the book I was going to take home to
prepare with at school. Oh well, I'll just get there early tomorrow and look
at it... shouldn't take too long to make some decisions, the investigations
aren't long. I wish a lot of the questions were better phrased in the book,
the kids don't always understand what is being asked, and its not their
fault. Most of what I did today was take attendance and then staple
worksheets together. Attendance in the second class is erratic and its
hurting my name learning.
On the way home, I got coffee at dunkin donuts cause I was still feeling
stupid. I then proceded to spill in on myself on the 'L' and drop the donut
I bought on the floor (I didn't need it anyhow, I guess).
the AC in my dorm room is broken, so its even hotter in there than it is
outside. They have thrown my stuff out of the way of the AC to look at it.
They aren't exactly sure what is wrong with it.
I have professional development in 20 minutes. I'm SO not in the mood.
What I want to do is find a corner, crawl into it, and sleep. Without being
bothered, for at least a day or so.
I guess its not that bad of a day, now that I read it. I'm just tired and
cranky.
I feel better now. :)

What sort of job are you looking for, Trisha?
For me, looking for work with a "what I want to do is keep myself busy (but
support myself probably would have been interchangable), why won't anybody
let me?" attitude didn't get very far. Once I shifted to, "what can I do that
is really needed," my luck got a lot better. I'm seeing that a lot among
people I know these days. In my case, yet another resume being added to the
hundreds that were being received for every network engineer job posting
didn't do anything to help anybody.

I was understaffed and overstressed today. I fear tomorrow may be
similar.

Yeah, for the first time Staci came home and collapsed on the couch while
getting up enough energy to go upstairs to her room. I can only imagine how
much you guys had to do that exhausted her considerable energy levels.
