Kevin's Watch

Yeah, I need to call him. He'll probably have to get a new token thing, and who knows how long that'll take.

Also, the university emailed me saying they can't register me for my second year because the finance hasn't been organised. Which it has. So I have to call them too. Nothing ever goes smoothly, does it? Is everything in the world run by bloody amateurs?

Yes, it is. The experts are all given professorships or spend all their time writing how-to books that never get read.

Yes,,giving rise to the modern neurosis, bureacnaphobia...the fear of changing anything " social" ie, phone number, house address, insurance policies, driving license, etc etc...due to the deep belief that the effort will take 3 times as much as it should, just in correcting other peoples mistakes.
The chill of the fear sometimes freezes me like a wave in mid rip at Antarctica.

Yeah. It's no wonder no-one trusts organisations. Perfectly simple, routine, everyday things that should go without a hitch end up requiring Sherlock Holmes-esque levels of investigative activity.

You should never have left the states this summer.

But then I'd be covered in Moose bites.

Meh, he doesn't bite very hard and you would at least have internet access, electricity and gas instead of looking forward to going home to sit alone in the dark and watch the food spoil in the fridge while wearing your dirty pants and thinking about that cold shower tomorrow morning . Actually the cold shower might shock you enough that you stop worring about your missing tuition money and whether or not they are gonna let you attend classes.

You make my life sound so glamorous.

Anyway, I have electricity. Just not for much longer. I reckon I can probably get through tomorrow before it runs out, as long as I don't use my laptop, DVD player, stereo or Xbox too much.

I do hold out some small hope though. I don't see how the token could just stop working between one hour and the next, so I'm hoping it might just have picked up some dust or something. I've already blown on it to no avail, but I'll try cleaning it tomorrow morning. That might damage it, but if it's not working anyway, I've got nothing to lose.

Compared to all that, staying and being my house boy IS glamorous... hahahahahahahahahha

I feel like I have ADHD today.

Oh dear. I've been coughing a lot lately. I thought it was just because I was laughing too hard...

Just as I am leaving work I get a phone call from Canaan telling me the police found the miata. It was abandoned down on 15th St, just off Mission. So I spent my evening getting him from work, going to his place to get the police paperwork, going to the police station for a release, going to the auto department building and paying the towing and storage fee the city charges you EVEN if your car has been stolen, then going all the way to the storage lot and getting the car. It looks like they just jacked it for a joyride but I'll do the inspection in the morning and see if they did any damage.

Oh wow, B"H!!
I hope it all inspects out well for Canaan, Jenn.

Well, he's out the three hundred but it's alot better than be out the three grand. He drove it from the storage yard to the shop and didn't hear any new rattles or clunks so that is a good sign.

Yech. Nothing quite as humiliating as being told to butch up.

Wow, so I'm not the only one who have heard this from a girlfriend? Amazing. That's why it is good to date someone with a lot of gay male friends. I never get that from Carla.

It never works to try to change someone into something he (or she) isn't.

I am feeling blah blah blah blase.

Need motivation.

Too right.

CovJr: Wait, tell me how this works again. You have a coin-fed meter in your apartment for electricity? I've never heard of such a thing....

Life here is good. Settling into the new neighborhood at work. Good folks on this hallway, altho it's even quieter than my old hallway, which I didn't think was possible. I'm now on the same floor as the microwave, the cafeteria, and the ATM -- yay! And I was supposed to have a dentist appointment tonight, but the dentist's office called this morning to reschedule it -- hooray!

Works on the same basis as a "pay-as-you-go" cell phone. We have them too. Or similar enough at any rate. Of course, we also have electricity pirating too.
