There was the possibility that I'd get to go to a concert this Saturday and I was very excited. But no concert :( Ah well.


At least Ill get to go to a movie. I hope it's a movie I want to see <.<
 
Family Allowance cheque day, and other than a couple of domestics out in the res, it was really quiet. It takes them a little while to adjust to the ever encroaching cold before they go all out. Oh Autumn.
 
Christ, the only thing worse than doing over the phone computer tech support for family, is doing over the phone tech support for family that is 12 hours away so there is absolutely 0 chance of me being able to actually see and diagnose what's wrong. It's so annoying.

FUCK, STOP CALLING ME
 
Remote Assistance works pretty well too. Hopefully they have XP or newer. Of course that only helps if they can actually get on the internet with it.

Bargh, what a frickin' day...

Headache, feeling tired, and having to listen to my parents who think those are clear signs of anemia.

Travelling to a job interview that sounded good, but ended up sounding like a one-way ticket to a career-wise dead end.

Stopping to eat at a franchise restaurant that usually serves good meals... and getting served a burnt steak choked flavorless by spices.

And coming home, getting my ear chewed off by my girlfriend who in her anger brought out every little mishap I had done in our relationship.

The last one was salvaged, but otherwise this day has sucked ass.
 
I'm so sick of this diet. I've lost 5 kg (11 pounds) in two weeks, but I constantly daydream of food. At least the real night dreams have stopped involving pizza, steaks, hamburgers and, surprisigly, beer.

Why don't you fix yourself a small filet one night? It's a comparatively lower fat piece of steak, and it only weighs about 3-6 oz. You'd get a good dose of iron and protein, and you could have some salad or something light as a side. Even when you're watching what you eat, it's good to enjoy yourself once in a while.
 
I'm doing a completely irrational* and too expensive protein milkshake based diet... I can only eat some kinds of vegetables, and in limited amounts.

I hate it, but the results are very good, and, as I'll have to diet in a more rational way for a long time (I'll actually have to change eating habits) anyways, I'd rather do it to keep my lost weight (wich will be very easy to regain) than to lose it!

And I'll finally be thin, wich will be good both for my self image and for my bad leg. I'll feel confident and good looking and I'll be able to do some sports without becoming Long John Silver the next day. Finally, after 15 years...

I think it's worth it, but I rant anyway :p

*Well, it's controlled by a doctor. By "irrational" I actually mean "very very restrictive".
 
I'm trying to arrange a meeting with one of my matches on eHarmony. But since we're both grad students it's incredibly hard to find a free weekend. I've been working on a paper all this weekend, she's got GRE's next weekend, and the the weekend after that her family's taking her on a trip and we've both got to work on our term papers. KHAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!

I'm having one of those days where my paranoia takes over and it feels like my friends don't actually like me and have just been humouring me or begrudgingly tolerating my presence for the last 10 years or so.

I hate days like today.

this is my life. welcome to it.

I see, I see. Well, rant away, then. :)

It's just because you're a bit distant out there in Fornax. I mean this whole solar system will have been roasted and then collapsed into a dead star before you'd get a single voice mail.

If it's a journal article, just do what my grad students do. Promise you'll get to it every time I ask you, but never actually make any progress. It keeps your professor on his/her toes.

So I'm still consulting for my old boss. I was in this weekend to run a few samples on his Mass Spec, and wouldn't you know fucking Windows XP had an auto update that reset the fucking computer during the run. Son of a bitch!

GRE's?!??! Those are damn easy and take like 3 hours. Tell her to suck it up!
 
It is F'ing freezing in my office today. My fingers are actually starting to hurt because it's so cold. It wouldn't hurt building maintenance to actually add some heat here, jesus.
 
Yeah, the furnace in the detachment broke today, just in time for Canada to kick in. It's. Fucking. Cold. At least I can toss on gloves and drink some hot coffee (as much as I hate coffee), the prisoners I actually feel for. All they have is one layer of clothing and these shitty one man blankets.

It nearly hit 85 in my server room today. Some fuck-up contractor, moved our thermostats lower and left with out seeing if our fucking AC works.
 
It's like 20C here today, rainy, and dark. Tonight, we are expecting what I understand to be the equivalent of a Canadian tropical storm.
 
It's -6 outside right now (20 F). With wind it FEELS like -12.

Early winter, the snow is still trickling from the large snowfall from last night.
 
Freaking 91f here today with 75% humidity, had the slight (ever so slight) chance of rain this morning, but all we got was a 50 drop shower.

I'm annoyed with my friend because I can't say "that's retarded" because saying that is un-pc and insulting to retarded people. But she can call Chinese food "chinky chow".


what the hell?
