At work:

Customer: How much does it cost to place a free ad?

Me: A free ad, Sir?

Customer: Yes, a free ad.

Me: ...It's free.

Which aptly summarizes my job, really.

Plot: I am going to lunch with my friend on campus, as I live in an apartment a little distance away. It's right after a medium-sized blizzard, but late enough in the afternoon for the plows to have been relatively thorough in most areas. I chance the drive, and realize the error of my decision when I reach the campus drive.

University police, "Looks like you got yourself into a nice accident here. Is that the Miller Road sign under your right tire, sir?"
Me, "Uh, yea. What's with the roads? Nothing's plowed here, and it's, like, 3 pm."
University police, "Oh, well. We don't necessarily plow these roads until the students have cleared out for the day. We can't risk colliding with them! And plus, there's enough salt on them. You shouldn't have had a problem."
Me, "Ha. Yes. My mistake. The, uh, mounds of salt should have been enough traction. Sorry about the sign."

*The passive-aggressive banter went on for a good half hour until the tow truck came to take my beautiful car off to the shop, where I learned that I had $2500 damages. A week went by, then two weeks. Then three before the insurance agency finally adjusts everything the way it should have been adjusted when we switched to Allstate in the first place, months ago, and they're ok to begin working on it.*

Me, "Hey, Dad- have the insurance guys done their thing yet?"
Dad, "Well, yea. They've been working on your car for a week, and it should be done."

*A week goes by. Then another!*

Dad, "Uh, hey. It'll be done by this coming Tuesday; there was a part they needed, but didn't order properly, so that's the hold-up. You're fine walking still, right?"


The moral of this story-

Always. Skip. Lunch.

There were times you went back for your purse and times where you didn't. Trillian still had to learn which times were which.

I hate being almost bedridden with a my nose completely bunged up and sore eyes and a headache. (Uncrowned ANGERLY smilie)

*cry* my laptop has decided it doesn't believe in physical lan connections any more so may need to put it into a service centre(It doesn't appear to like w/l connections either). So I have to use my old computer to connect to the net, so because I can't find any CD-Rs I need to transfer everything between my computers with my ipod sad.gif

*sigh* I'm pondering just using the recovery stuff, it's a nice way of getting rid of all that incriminating evidence and the like...

We're having an unbelievably hot summer down here (and the last 15 days in particular). I feel like I'm being slowly roasted.

A hot summer in February?
Diamondais2007-02-25 01:49:25
The two hemispheres have different seasonal weather, do they not? >.>

I'm going to be annoyed if someone has to explain that to you. unsure.gif

Sigh, reading week is over sad.gif And I have 2 tests to look forward to.

And just found out today that the course I thought I had paid for a month ago was indeed NOT paid for, and has actually been accumulating interest since. #$%@ bank people giving me a money order when I thought they already handled everything themselves. And my school has stated that all payments need to be made at the bank, but if I'm the one holding the money order then how... ARGH @#$%@#%!!

And my laptop has a bunch of small scratches on it which I've been rubbing with my thumb, trying to make them go away & it's driving me crraazzzyyy (>.<)

Ok, I just have to say, Heathrow airport SUCKS!!! I have never felt so angry at an airport before. Thank god the British airways planes were comfortable. *shudder* Never using London as a connection again if I can help it....


Yes. Yes it does.

When I say 'down here' it means down here below the Equator. I'm almost exactly on the Tropic of Capricorn.
Unknown2007-02-25 18:43:12
Umm. I live almost on top the equator.

Then why the heck did you ask about summer in February?
Unknown2007-02-25 20:50:10
Since he is on or near the equator, his country would most likely be aseasonal, no 'summer' and 'winter' but rather climate changes would be determined by the amount of rain falling, dry groups of months or rainy months. Rainy groups of months called ‘monsoons’ in some places.

I've never lived (no a few day vacation years ago doesn't count) anywhere but in a cool temperate zone in the northern hemisphere, so I'm equally as interested in Archer's climate as he is in the summer in the southern hemisphere.

Edit: Speaking of cool temperate.. I've got another snow storm just starting, the weather people say it's going to be as bad as the one we had last week... and they say another one is on the way next week. Here's a preemptive bye.gif for when/if the power or phone lines go out.
