I'll be brief: My life sucks
Class sucked. We go to IHOP for lunch.
IHOP closed for cleaning. Decide to eat Chinese.
Car is dead. Call Mr. Testosterone to jump it. Mr. T not available, Poetess comes to jump car.
Drive car to lot, where E switches cars. Drive to apartment, where dying car is abandoned.
Go eat Chinese. Food horrible. Decide on desert to make up for nasty food.
Eat cake. Lots of cake. Chocolate cake. Feel much better.
Return home, rearrange apartment, write paper.
Bedtime at 5 am.
Today:
Wake up. Water is off. Scream. Call office to inquire. ½ hour later, water is on.
Shower. ½ way through shower, power is off. Finish shower in pitch darkness, manage not to cut second leg too badly while shaving.
Dress. Call office to inquire.
Am told electric company (code name: Demonspawn) has been doing this to people during the last few months.
Lucy calls Demonspawn, they refuse to talk to her.
I call Demonspawn, the computers are down. Am told to call back in one hour.
I call back, Demonspawn is out to lunch.
Call E, pack up food, pack up bags, get disk with embryonic paper, get in her car.
Food safely stored in functional fridge, paper printed on yellow pages, get to class late.
Utterly frazzled, unable to put together coherent sentences, make fool of self in Poetry. Nearly cry.
Call Demonspawn, “computers are down, call back at 3.” (Time was 3:40) Inform dumbass of this, am told to call at 4, then.
Write this, attempt to post. Office computer shuts down. File lost. Used to be much bigger, with detail.
Clench teeth, call Demonspawn.
Could be several more hours.
Scream. V. appropriate response. Do not care if others are disturbed.
Write this. Save it to Word. Will not lose it again. Will scream if so. Break glass.
Yoga at 5:30. Pray for soothing. Need it v. much.
Book to read, will not be able to read it after dark without flashlight.
Paper to write. Will not be able to write it without computer.
Cell phone running out of juice, will not be able to charge it.
No food. All is either cold (and not available), or needs heating (no power). Will order pizza if all fails. And scream. Neighbors deserve it.
Will attempt to post this. More as it happens.
End?
