worn out

it may have rained, and it may have poured, but at 6.30am this old man was up and about and most certainly not snoring.

the grind had resumed, or so i thought. i left a bit later than i should have (as usual), and arrived in class five minutes before it was due to not start. yep, the strike affects my first class. no matter, i had stuff to do: i found a computer in the faculty labs and did more prep for the interview that i'm hoping to have soon.

i was early for the second class, but then caught an update on facebook informing us that that class was cancelled too.

jeez :/

the annoying kid from the anime sessions came to sit with me; it was alright until we got into a religious debate, and then at some point i realized he was partially trying to make his case and partially just manipulating words. when i caught him out, he played it off with brilliant statements like "i don't really care about this stuff" and then followed those with things like "i think you should teach evolution and religion side-by-side, but i'm not really convinced about evolution."

eventually i realized there was no point to the debate and found myself quite agitated at his "strategy" - so much so that i was really uncomfortable, excused myself and walked out of the building. right into the heaviest rain of the day. when i took shelter in the next building, i asked myself if fleeing that talk was worth the cold drenching. i decided that it was.

at least it didn't rain on my way to work. i walked in to another emergency, this one my fault (i did something last week and tested it wrong, the resulting code did exactly the opposite of what we wanted), and then sat in for a long day of fiddling, tuning and oh-my-god-i'm-a-dba-again. *sigh*

i left the office just in time to miss the bus and have to wait more than half an hour for the next one, so i used that time productively by burning through my comics feed.

dinner was pleasant, the second episode of hellsing was pleasant, pg and i had a silly moment that got unpleasantly serious and took a while to chill out from, and since then i've been working on sorter's project - my co-worker has gotten the basics right, at least, and i have to admit that for such a simple, bug-riddled site it does the job and that alone feels right.

my cough's gotten worse. my paper's haven't gotten any longer.
