Wow, I'm grumpy

I'm feeling sick today, so I stayed home from work. Tonight, I went out to try and find some Sudafed for nighttime, with the Pseudoephedrine (or however you spell that) still in it. Well, since all that stuff is behind the counter, I couldn't exactly tell what it was that I wanted. Had a not-so-fun time trying to explain to the lady behind the counter what I wanted which was any Sudafed product that would help me sleep. So it couldn't say "non-drowsy" on it. Well, they didn't have any. So I decided to go with a Tylenol product instead. Then the lady tells me she needs to see my driver's license, which I left in the car. Went back to get it, and then came back in, and showed my ID and then paid for my drugs. When I got home and actually looked at the package, it turns out that I accidently bought the daytime stuff. I'm so frustrated. I'm not going back. But I need medication. I might not be sleeping well tonight.

Idiotic Moment of the Day

...so that you all might have a laugh and feel better about yourselves...

Yeah. So I was driving to Taco Bell to pick up dinner for me and my coworker, and I was listening to my music in the car on the way, thinking about how intense the last hour was...because the San Diego City Council was meeting on our campus that night, and the opening speaker and entourage walked into the library looking for a fax machine to receive the speech in time for the presentation which was 30min away at that point. I ended up lending them mine, and got to talk to the entourage about their plan to combat homelessness, which was being presented for approval by the city council this evening...but I was thinking about how intense they all were. And then I wished I had worn a suit or something today.

So I was thinking about all this while driving, plus trying to memorize a new song. I arrived at Taco Bell, took one look at the drive through and decided I would go inside instead. So I opened my car door, got out, locked it, and shut it. THEN I realized that my keys were still in the ignition and the car was running. Yup. That was my idiotic moment of the day.

Have you realized that there seems to be a steady disappearance of pay phones??? Where did they all go? I had to use one to call my coworker to come bail me out because my phone, wallet, ID, cello, and a guitar (just thought I'd throw the guitar in for kicks...) were all still in the car. I had to walk across the street to the Denny's, which seemed to be the only place on the entire block with a payphone. Good thing I had some change in my pocket.

Anyway, I managed to call my coworker, who called the auto club (thanks triple A!!!) and they came and unlocked my door. But yeah. That's what I did tonight.

See ya all later.

Walking

Went for a walk tonight, and talked to a friend of mine on the phone while I was walking. I walk this route all the time, so I wasn't paying attention to how far I had gone. All of a sudden, I looked around and did not recognize any landmarks. At first I thought I had walked too far, and then I realized that I hadn't quite walked far enough.

There's a metaphor lurking somewhere in this post... if only I could find it...

I'm a pessimistic dater

I had a great talk with a guy I haven't talked to for a few months last night. I really like him. I would date him. I don't think he's interested though. I have somewhat of an un-optimistic view of dating relationships. I'm convinced they will never work. I'm definitely pessimistic and cynical about them. And all I can do in these kinds of situations is just let them be.

The Most Random Monday Ever!

8:00am
Shoot! My alarm didn't go off again. DANG IT!!!

8:15am
Still deciding what to wear... tan cords with a red sweater? Or khaki's and green?

8:20am
Kahki's and green.

8:22am
Paid the rent...the landlady lives next door, and is somewhat adamant about having us pay on the 1st of the month. I paid today, cause the 1st was a Sunday, she couldn't have cashed the check on the 1st anyway.

8:25am
I finally leave my house.

8:45am
Arrive at work.

9:00am - 11:30am
Working.

11:31am
My phone rings. Its a girl I don't know asking if I want to go to the Tonight Show. She is new and the girl who was supposed to go with her cancelled. I waver on my decision.

11:40am
Asked my boss if I could go. We have to leave at noon.

11:45am
He said yes.

NOON
Got in my car, met this girl, WHOM I HAD NEVER MET BEFORE and started driving. To LA. Seriously. Who does this?

Yup. Went to the tonight show. With Jay Leno. This afternoon. I can't believe I did that. What was I supposed to be doing you might ask? Writing a paper.

Will I regret this decision tomorrow? Absolutely. Did I have fun? Yes.
Have I even started my paper? NO.

DANG IT!!!

but I had fun.

Reminds me of when my friend Ryan O. aka "freak of the weak" kidnapped me from going to class when we were in college and we went and saw Star Wars in the Arlington Theator in SB instead. Except that I at least knew Ryan, and I had never met this girl. Anyway. So that was my day. The most random Monday ever.
