pop! goes the

right. back to that travelling (but please bear in mind that i'm exhausted, a bit tipsy, and still suffering serious sinusitis).

i left on time yesterday. i picked, again, the wrong bus to wait for. i got there ten minutes before it was due to arrive, and stood there for 50 until it actually did. that SUCKED. i arrived at the train station 15 minutes before the next train, so i went into azrieli center and got myself take-away japanese food.

i've since learned that you can only use a soldier's id to get a train-ticket once per day in any given station. i was fortunate that there was a soldier with a spare ticket to help me out. that was truly sucky, and it's a stupid system. anyway, i got to work half an hour late.

i was quite tired, hence the previous post. the night was long and arduous. i even tried to get some work done, but to no avail.

i was wrong about the times... i only left work around 6.30am. i got to bed about an hour later, and then had to crawl out of bed at 10.30 to make it to the base on time. at least it was a beautiful day, so i didn't feel too bad.

lunch sucked. or at least, didn't make a very good breakfast, either. fortunately somebody brought marangues to the office, and those were sugary and tasty.

i spent the afternoon dealing with problems and being kinda frustrated. i was reprimanded by my commander for passing out at my desk for 10 minutes. the day got hot and sticky. i'm very glad that the air-conditioner blows directly onto my head.

i played a bit of soccer before hometime. i found a hole on the court by twisting my ankle - i'm hoping it's not too serious. it's a bit sensitive at the moment :(

i went straight to work; ran into a really cute girl on the bus that i haven't seen since varsity days, who's very serious about being an actress. i didn't ask for a number. she didn't ask for mine.

i met up with yogi at work, and got a serious tutorial. between the two of us we figured out that the api that i'm supposed to work with is retarded. mostly useless. i stayed at work with the lead programmer until midnight, the both of us trying to understand what we have / don't have, and what's possible.

it turns out that he's looking for an apartment with the same specifications (specifically location and budget) that i am, he seems alright, and so it looks like i'll be included in the apartment hunt he's doing. as it is, i'm getting sick of this one. i've been informed that it's going to take until the end of june to move me, and quite frankly i'm hating the lowered water pressure and the ceiling caving in, and the contant works and the stray cats crapping all over the stairwell. this place has gone from awesome to not-very-nice, and even though it's temporary, i don't have the energy to deal with this right now.

and i find the bus lines in this area to be lacking in dependability and general usefulness.

i went past the lizard, stopped in for a drink and a chat. the only person missing was the mongoose, so i left him a rude message to let him know that he let me down :P

i chatted with lucky on the way home. she's just been downgraded to mnsl (maybe not so lucky). i never have the energy to deal with people who get too serious, or develop a sense-of-humour failure. not only that, but during the last couple of days i've found myself growing bored - like something's missing. it might have something to do with my referring to her with a dog's name, and beginning to feel it's appropriate. i'm so annoyed about the phone "conversation" that i moved her number to my blacklist.

whatever.

i'm now dying from exhaustion, and i still have to shower. i advise checking out moonflake's linkage, which includes linkage to zenstar's blog.

ooh! iterative linkage! THEY'RE MULTIPLYING!!

good night - finally!
