IBB my boss wanted to meet with me "midafternoon" today, thus putting the
kibosh on any trips to my favorite outlet mall--it's an hour drive each way
and closes at 6. But mostly I'm bummed because I really can't afford to go
shopping anyway. Wahh! I want shoes!

It's taking a long time to re-activate the home internet connection. As a
result, I must do everything from a computer lab some driving distance from
my house.
It's not actually that bad, but sometimes it's a bugger.

Pitt's PPPOE campus network is making it somewhat difficult to get my
(linux-running) computer working properly and usefully.

I removed a bat from my house 2 days ago. When I left the house, it was
flying circles in my sunporch. I just opened the outside door and it flew
out.

This is the time of year that bats, along with their young from this year,
invetigate new potential hibernacula or roosts. It appears to be "get
acquainted with the neighborhood" training. The technical term for the
behavior is "swarming".

IBB I failed to plan and the Amtrak tickets to Chicago that were too expensive
anyhow are now sold out for the weekend.
IABB my wireless ethernet in teh house is spotty and keeps going out every
3 minutes or so and I dont know why. I am currently using my housemate's
computer and it works fine.

I didn't get the job I'd been interviewed for. It was a really good
job, too, that would have made use of my degree that not doing me much
good right now, would have paid well, had benefits, and would have
furthered my work experience. The job market is really tough, man.
Stack another one to the rejection pile. But this one was a good
showing-- someone just had more of the qualifications they were
looking for.

IBB one of my friends' goals will eventually make her my enemy. This,
naturally, makes it hard to remain friends now.

IBB because people like vidar insist on posting cryptic responses that
leave me curious about the situation

Ok, if you really want it perfectly clear: one of her goals is to
become a missionary. After my experience in Malaysia, I think of
missionaries as ranking among the most evil "types" of people on Earth.

Father Ralph was not gay. But Thornbirds did seem to point out the
hypocrixcy of the whole situation

Most of those memories are not good, and I either repress them or try
to selectively kill the brain cells that remember them with alcohol.
Granted, it was mostly the school that lead to the bad memories. The
best thing that came from that experience is that I did manage to
breakthrough the brainwashing the kids at that school had, and I have
later learned that some of them realized just how horrible they were
under that school's evil influence.

happyboy has it right. It was a Fundamentalist Christian Missionary
school, and most of the students had become as bad as their parents.
My religious experience includeded "trying on" Christianity
(Presbyterian to be precise) in my youth, but I had rejected it by the
time I was 12. So, as a pagan with 99.99% of the school trying to
convert me, it wasn't pleasant. I have to admit that some people who
already were of more tolerant versions of Christianity had a problem
with that school too.
