I'm Half Afraid to Type This Entry

Last night I discovered that the guy at the Help Desk who gave me the "key" to the university's wireless system did something that will not allow me to sign in to any other wireless system (and believe me when I tell you I've tried all the easy fixes; I get to reconfigure my wireless). Half the stuff I needed for class today is on one machine, half on the other. The most important half is the stuff that I cannot print because I now have no access to our home wireless and no access to a printer at the university. And I was not about to drive to the university at 10:30pm in order to email documents to myself.

I had to do a bunch of stuff by hand. Yay.

Then, this morning, just before class started, I poured 20oz of coffee on a chair in the classroom. Not on purpose. It slipped off the desk. I'd had a single swallow of coffee. After cleaning up as much of the mess as I could (carpeted floors and upholstered chairs soak up a LOT of liquid) I picked up the paper bag containing my scone, a small bottle of juice and a bottle of water. The bottom came out and the contents went everywhere. Thank God the bottles were plastic.

I am still eating the fucking scone. It's a matter of pride at this point.
