the world has turned and left me here

everything goes wrong and i don't care

The last time I had a day which was even comparably crappy was back in October when I got stitches above my eye.

Here's the recap. The work day sucks as things fail & I find bugs & get stressed about making a release tomorrow.

I then go out to my car and find a $30 parking ticket. Thanks UNL Parking Police, you usually figure in to these kind of days.

Since I promised Jamaimer I would help her with her evening class I go to that. I get saddled with a crying 6-month-old who is totally freaked out by me, and tries harder than any baby I've ever seen to push his way out of my arms. I mean he was physically pushing off me & crying because he couldn't get away. So I would trade him for a quiet baby and then she would start crying and trying to escape too.

Aside from that I must after years of programming in solitude interact with a bunch of little kids, some of whom clearly hate me, and the multitasking nature of the situation overloads my brain. At the end of class it's like I've been run over by a truck.

I go home. After a cup of coffee I start working on my car in preparation for the frisbee tournament trip this weekend. I change the radiator fluid & take it for a test run. In way north Lincoln it blows its oil cap and the engine dies, and I barely manage to roll it down a hill and into a parking lot.

I walk a mile in the cold without a good coat to a gas station and back, where I grab oil in the hopes of filling it up and driving home perhaps, then I get back and discover the blown oil cap which spells doom. Shivering, I call a tow truck, and arrive at my house finally at 12:30 am.

But you know what none of this managed to really piss me off or bum me out. Probably because I'm just numb these days.
