Got home late last night. So happy to sleep in my own bed, with no kids around. Only to be woken at 8:15am to thumping on my wall. They installed new carpet in the lounge, but apparently this takes several days to do. My boss has the laptop for her trip so I head down to my office to work on my DC photos. Only to open the door and find a ladder, missing ceiling tiles and a whole bunch of wires hanging down. A little post-it on my computer monitor reads: computer offline while rewiring is done. Blah.

Went to Left Bank tonight for some drinks with (e:Jenks) and a few friends. I was itching for a DiSorono all week and finally got one. I was all dolled up and looking snazzy, but the only guy looking was an older looking man with grey hair.

Came home to find a notice on the hall doors: Water will be turned off all day starting at 8am Friday morning for repairs.

SON OF A BITCH! Can't I get ONE DAY OF PEACE????

Before I start the rant I just want to say I had the pleasure of meeting (e:Jenks) for lunch yesterday. The company was great and I had the most fantastic carrot and ginger soup! If the rest of their soups are equally delish, I highly recommend Solid Grounds.

Envision that puppet on Sesame Street that always played Yankee Doodle on the piano, would make a mistake, then start slamming his head on the keys. That's how I feel today. I had started my post with, 'I'm a little cranky this morning'. I was almost done writing when this bitch of a computer decided it needed to restart and I lost the whole thing. Now I'm pissed. I don't feel like re-writing it so here is the Cliff's Notes version:

• I only got 3 days of vacation; my cohort friends got an entire month
  
• I work 24 / 7; they work 20 hours a week
  
• I had 12 residents back early living in the residence hall
  
• I had to move them into spare apartment bedrooms because...
  
• They are shutting the heat off to the residence hall
  
• Everyone had to vacate, myself included
  
• I was missing all the keys I needed to do this
  
• This screws up the entire move-in process for next weekend
  
• It will be chaos in a 3 ring circus
  
• I should hire clowns and sheep to run around campus
  
• I requested space heaters so I could continue working / living there
  
• They are using gas powered heaters that will fill the place with lethal levels of carbon monoxide and no one can enter the building all week
  
• I had a great deal of work to complete next week inside the building
  
• My office is inside the building
  
• They are giving me no accommodation or financial assistance toward food
  
• They don't seem to grasp the concept that this place is my 'home'
  
• This really chaps my ass!
  
• My boss expects me to fend for myself and show up every day next week full-time
  
• Technically I'm part-time but I already work 24 / 7 as it is
  
• I have no money
  
• I didn't realize my car registration and 6 months of insurance are due today
  
• My credit card payment is due today (no luxury option of not paying)
  
• Even with today's joke of a paycheck I don't have enough
  
• I also need gas in my car
  
• I will need more gas in my car now that I have to commute for a week
  
• I won't get paid for another 2 weeks
  
• No really, I don't have ANY money
  
• This blows big fat goats
  
• It's not a cry for sympathy
  
• I think the line 'it could be worse' is condescending
