again with the being late?!

then again, this is the first time that i'm leaving my place to somebody else, and there were a bunch of things that didn't occur to me to do until the last minute...

still - not good. at least this time it's only (gods willing) going to be about fifteen minutes. *prays*

*rain comes down hard*

this morning almost went according to plan - i arrived at the right building on time to meet with shakespeare, and if he had been less incoherent at stupid o'clock a.m., i wouldn't have gone all the way around it before finally finding him.
he hadn't prepared his coffee stand yet, so i ogled the very fine examples of why i should return to academia while he took care of business. the line that formed during the time it took to produce the first cup of coffee (the second was mine) just kept getting longer, so i made some headway into the iliad, and when the coffee was done i returned to the city to handle laundry, cleaning and packing.

it was an EXTREMELY busy morning - my apartment's never been so tidy! at lunchtime i met up with mmf and his partner for lunch and a talk about the future (as in, post uniform. it'll happen someday, hopefully sooner rather than later), which is the reason i didn't manage to get back in time...

the only thing that really has me nervous is the call i got from my TL earlier. i suspect that it's just the kinda-cute girl's being new, but they couldn't find the report of my holiday authorization even though i was there when our regular secretary received it.

*keeps praying*
