What a fricken crappy day!

I'd agree with you yesterday...


Me = Passenger in a car sliding sideways, up a hill, on the other side of the road... The car coming over the hill we almost killed.. My MOM coming home from work. God it was scary..


Driver = Picked the ditch over my hitting the car (obviously) ... car accidents suck.. 🙁 Hit a fence post @ 50-60kmph.






Vent it all out buddy!
 
I agree, today was a REALLY REALLY CRAPPY day 🙁

Started out ok (got a B on a test in my BS geography class 🙁 ), then went to physics lab, and we had to do a very indepth, BS report on single slit diffraction...sigh. Took us 15 min to do the lab, and 2hrs+ to write it up.

Then got to statistics early, that was ok, could play solitaire on my calculat...wait..it's not there, or there or there or there, FVCK!! By that time it was pouring like it never poured before, and I RAN all the way to the other side of campus to my physics lab classroom...wasn't there. RAN all the way back, and I was dripping and freezing...one of my group members had the calculator (an 89 and can't afford to replace 🙁 ), thank god.

Bad thing was, water was coming off me like crazy, and I had tried to look a little nicer because PBS came into our classroom today for some minorities in engineering thing. So I changed into my frumpy, baggy gym clothes (some, er, unmentionables were still soaked, sigh), and dripped my way back to class. Had to PRAY the whole time that my teacher wouldn't call on me to go to the board. Class finally ended 15 minutes late, and guess what? It decided to rain again. So I walked back to the gym in my once dry gym clothes, and told my bf I didn't want to work out today, and I went home and took a blissful hot shower and am dry now.

But man, do I need some chocolate 🙁
 
Yeah, I had a pretty crappy day yesterday:

6:15 AM: Wake up, head to JFK

7 AM: Get to JFK, forced to check my carry-on bag because my backpack isn't considered a "personal item," and I have it + a carry-on bag

9:15 AM: Watch flight 587 go down out of our plane's windows (we were ready to take off, flight crew was seated and everything, then we got called back to the gate) Saw it happen, then watched the news coverage on the plane's TVs until we got back to the gate

9:30 AM - 10 PM: Wait at JFK for my flight to be rescheduled (yes, almost 13 HOURS)

10:05 PM: Get on plane

10:30 PM: Taxi to runway, then return to gate because of computer malfunction (scared the sh!t out of me)

11:00 PM: Wait in plane while problem is repaired

11:05 PM: While waiting, captain and copilot must be replaced because the original captain and first officer have worked over 16 hours (union rules)

11:20 PM: Problem fixed, captain arrives

11:25 PM: New captain informs us that we are short one first officer and have to wait for one to get in from Buffalo

11:45 PM: New first officer arrives, we FINALLY take off

1:45 AM (feels like 2:45 to me because I came from Eastern Time Zone): Arrive in New Orleans

1:45 - 2:30 AM: Collect my baggage (impressed that it made it, and that it was in one piece), wander around airport parking lot looking for shuttle to my off-site parking

3:00 AM: Arrive at my car. Car is covered in bird sh!t. I mean COVERED. After this day, I don't care. I pay the attendant for my four days, and leave. Not in the mood to argue.

3:20 AM: Go to gas station car wash. Find I am out of cash for carwash. (I really wanted to get it washed immediately before the sh!t affected my paint)

3:30 AM: Get cash from gas station ATM after begging attendant to let me in (they were locked up for the night). Go through carwash, gets about half the sh!t off. I scrub the rest off with a squeegee and paper towels, rinse the car off with the water hose.

4:00 AM: Arrive at home and pass the fsck out

2 PM today: Wake up and realize I slept through work, call my boss, and happily she understands my situation (actually, she was really worried about me since she knew I was in New York and hadn't called in)

Yesterday sucked, but not once was I mad at anyone at the airline, airport, etc. I was just thankful that I made it home safely.
 
I'VE GOT A MIDTERM!!!?!?!?! AAARGGGGHHHH

SCREW GENE SPLICING, INITIATION, AND mRNA PROCESSING!!?!?!? AAAAARRRGGGHHHH

:Q
 
yeah today sucked. and it's not even over :frown:

my job is really really starting to suck. I don't really give a crap about it, since it looks like no one else around here does. Someone stole a dvd that I left in one of the showroom computers over the weekend and I think I'm getting the flu. My car needs new brakes and an oil change. My puter crashed this morning when i was trying to read some news, so i have to deal with that when I come home. There's construction on the highway I take home, so I'm gonna be stuck in traffic for an extra 1/2 hour.

oh yeah, and the vending machine just took my last 2 quarters and didn't give me my sunkist orange soda.

today really really sucks
 
wow, bad day huh?

friend's car got broken into, lost 1k worth of stuff

at least the guy sthat did it did a good job, no visiable damage, they took their sweet time taking the system apart
 
ARGH... just finished working on our down mail server 🙁... I wish I could have started this companies network from scratch 'cause there would be a lot more mirroring going on 🙁

Not I have to deal with all the irate customers 🙁

he he... Nice sig. 😀
 
Finally the day is over! There are some many things I want to change with this fricken network but the downtime to fix it would drive our customers over the edge 🙁... now I got a stupid 3 hour lecture which means I am going to miss the hockey game and then I have to study for a midterm for tommorrow 🙁

On the bright side my T-shirt from thinkgeek.com came in 🙂 It says "No!I will not fix your computer"
 
Actually, today was an okay day 😀
I finished all my homework earlier than usual and now I get to go to Anandtech 🙂
