things that ...
... annoy me:
hiccups.
the fact that it's been two and a half weeks since i ordered curling-shoe stuff and i haven't heard a peep about shipping (still less has the stuff actually arrived). (update: placed order september 8; stuff shipped september 22. disgraceful, but it's a small company and this is the hurry-up pre-season, so what do you want. they did apologize.)
grading papers.
the fact that the maintenance guy came last wednesday and put a patch and one layer of joint compound over the hole in my ceiling, said he'd come back the next day -- or, if the storm was as big as it was expected to be, monday -- to put up the second layer and paint, and hasn't been heard from since.
being on hold.
... amuse me:
getting a gas bill that says "our records show your account is past due - please pay promptly" and "total due: $0.00". what happened was, my last payment didn't reach them until the day after the bill was printed, but since i've been here a year, my deposit was refunded so i have a credit much greater than one month's bill. i probably have three more months' worth of credit, depending how soon it gets cold; in other words, i may move before i run out this credit, so the city utility billing office may never get money from me again. :-)
... make me happy:
being done for the day and having no big work to do for tomorrow (except the aforementioned grading papers, grr).
i seem not to have a cold, for once, and my ankle is healing nicely. i feel -- almost -- good! yay! i might even be energized to finish straightening up my apartment.
working e-mail! two addresses, both running through outlook express (firewall: check; anti-virus scanner: check), and no need to use hotmail ever again! [happy dance]
