There's not enough bitching

ARGH...

My mind is leaking out my ears.

This class on software engineering is reaching ridiculous levels of being horrible.

And dammit, the professor needs to take a course on public speaking.  Um is every fifth word X_X

[Dracos]

Software engineering will drive me to kill.

Or bite someone's neck.

Stupid professor.

20 minutes of java advertisements.  WHOLLY UNNECESSARY @_@

It's raining, just like it has been the previous seven days.  On the second day, my wallet bled.  On the third day, a friend got punched by a bouncer and received a concussion because he didn't want to give up his jacket after we LEFT the stupid bar.  On the fourth day, I got sick.  On the fifth day, my cell got cut off because im a dufos and instead of sending one bill with all charges, they send monthy bills that, that only denote the most recent month, not today charges.  The total charges comes seperately and I didn't open it because I already received a monthly bill.  On the other days(first, sixth, seventh), I got wet.  WET!  Today, on the supposedly last day, I have to wear a suit for a meeting.  Can't find my belt.  I forgot I lost my trenchcoat so I either have to wear nothing, or my winter coat.

I've gotten sick from all the rain.

Bleegh.

My computer has died. I need a new harddrive >.<

It's not often I can honestly say it would have been quicker to walk than taking the train.

In fact, today is the first day I can say that.

The yaoi killed your HD, obviously ^_^

What happened? ^_^;

What happened? ^_^;

A timeline of disaster!

1730 - I leave work.
1740 - I arrive at train station. My train is delayed.
1749 - Train arrives. I board and we depart for Edinburgh.
1803 - Arrive at Edinburgh Waverly. I get off train 1 and run madly across the station to catch train 2.
1805 - I board train 2 just before it departs. No seats left, so I stand in the vestibule. Which is okay, since it's just a short journey.
1820 - Train stops. Not particularly unusual. Besides, I have my portable video/mp3 player to keep me entertained.
1845 - Train driver makes an announcement. He kinda whispers really quietly, though. From what I gather there's something wrong with the rear carriage.
1900 - Further announcement. They can't fix whatever's wrong, so they call out an engineer.
1945 - Engineer arrives, apparently. He might have arrived sooner, I wasn't paying particular attention at this point, and the announcements were really quiet, as if the driver was sorely ashamed of himself or something.
2130 - Batteries run out on my video/mp3 player.
2200 - Customer service guy who apparently boarded the train sometime after the engineer makes an announcement. They can't fix it, so the train will move forward at walking pace to the next level crossing (a mile and a half away, he says)where we will disembark and get buses to our destinations. Much angst from passengers travelling down to Southern England.
2300 - Train reaches level crossing. Ooooh! There's a fire engine and an ambulance! Exciting!
2310 - I disembark train. At least it's a nice night. Can see so many stars in the sky, out in the middle of nowhere. The buses are waiting for us, so I get on the one for Dunbar.
2345 - Bus departs.
0010 - Bus arrives at Dunbar train station.
0015 - I arrive home!

To put things in perspective, the level crossing we stopped at is about 7 miles from my home.

That's sad ^_^;

That's almost as bad as some of the traffic jams I've had in Hong Kong, but made infinitely worse by having this experience on a train instead of a bus ^_^;

I miss my computer. *sob*

[Ragnar]

I think she's going through withdrawal.
We better get her a software patch to cure her addiction.

[Dracos]

We feel your pain, Storm, and miss ye.

mmm, I'm seeing someone going over the probability models of queueing techniques that haven't seen use in TWENTY YEARS.

My grandfather's funeral took up my Friday (wake) and Saturday. Sunday I go to work, and only five people in my area including myself have come to work. My area ususally has about 12 people in it on a Sunday. Of course, we get hit by a huge load. Got home Sunday only to have the worst headache I've had in months. Monday came. Only then did it sink in that I had four major tests in the course of 3 days. Starting Monday morning. For which I have not been able to study.

Joy.

Ow.  Bad Fortune :\
