RANT!

Ok. I’m sorry!

1. I left the house without my iPod and my earphones. I had been looking forward to listening to the new Julie Fowlis CD since I got it last night but I couldn’t because I left the stupid iPod at home!

2. I had to do something while traveling to work on the laptop before I got to work but because I forgot my earphones I had to do it with jaws, my screen reader, talking through the speakers. To ensure others didn’t hear what I was doing and the synthesized speach didn’t annoy people, I had to have it at a bearly audible volume.

3. What I was trying to finish didn’t work. I’m still not sure why it wouldn’t. I was basically adding some functionality to a site that I have created for an organization but the code was showing without the functionality! It makes no sense and when I tried the exact same steps when I got to work it all went fine!

4. I tried to log onto my home exchange server to check for new mail but it looks like my internet connection at home is down. That’s going to be gone all day so I’ll have to keep up with my personal email during breaks using web mail via my backup server.

5. The budget is coming tomorrow so things here are quite on edge. Plus, we were given some news a week and a half ago about the company I work for that will apply in April that has everyone very worried as well so although I’m fighting, I’m not happy about it.

6. I’ve decided that I’m just going to go buy a coffee. But guess what? I have €1.46 in change on me. a coffee is 2:50. I’m not going to an ATM to get money out. If I get a 20, it’s just going to be spent before I even know it’s gone. The Irish urin currency just falls through your fingers as soon as you break a note.

7. I can look forward to the prospect of sitting on a crowded train today at a quarter past five on the way back home without any music to listen to.

I really should just go back home to bed. I’m not liking this Tuesday.

    Just wondering,
