summer sting

the day began twice, because at 6.30am i couldn't bring myself to face four hours of freud. if only i'd known that everyone else was going to be super late...

at least i made the two hours i was there for count... i finally began working on something i've been planning for a while. it's even more daunting now that i've begun, it's very ambitious. but it's piratey, and must be done.
also, the class inspired me to write this later.

i was fairly slow today, stopping to eat a decent lunch before returning to the ugly, hot, clammy, dusty day. not that the classroom had been much protection: we have one classroom, and it has neither air conditioning nor internet access :(

at work, our qa guy upset me by wasting ridiculously exaggerated amounts of water while washing a dish. when i asked him to be reasonable, he told me that if i have a problem with his behaviour i should ignore it. deep down, what i really wanted to do was slap him hard and say "ignore that".

the work day wasn't bad - scr sat with me and we used azure's web interface admin tools to identify inefficiencies. i'm well pleased with the optimization. we then spent much time establishing the existence of a major caveat to the changes i've been surprised with this week, leading to more surprise changes...

i'm not impressed.

my experience coming home:
1. the weather eased up a bit
2. at peak demand, the frequency of the bus home drops. after waiting almost half an hour, i almost had to fight old people who were circling the stop like buzzards, but while they were looking for an edge the driver stopped with the door next to me. i do pity the others who arrived around the same time i did, though. s'not fair..

the creative writing workshop was fun, but i was entirely taken by surprise to see that not only the coffee shops were closed for the holocaust memorial day, but all of the supermarkets as well... the host fed me weird (but tasty) food, i'd become rather hungry while hunting dinner and even hungrier when i'd failed.

the pentametron grabs tweets and sorts them into sonnet form. with hilarious results.
