well fuck
so i go to sleep last night, the night before an odd day off i have this week, set the alarm (house), set my alarm, set my gf's alarm, have everything laid out to be packed and put in the car for my trip to apopka so i can see the turtles and my gf.
yeah, that worked wonderfully
wake up at 1:15pm (i should be an hour into my trip by now)
look around angrily, and notice my alarms are flashing and say it's about 6:30...great fucking power outage, check the house alarm, blinking like a fucking xmas tree like all the doors are open, all of which are closed, take a quick shower, get dressed and start packing, it's 2pm now, still need to scoop at least one of the litter boxes for the cats, and pack my bag and the car. of course i should be in apopka by now.
so if i did go by the time i got there they would have rapped up catching turtles (some thing i really wanted to see since i'm a big fan of any odd little survivalist animals, penguins, turtles, badgers) and there's a big differance, for me anyway, between "hey cool you caught a turtle, before you put it back in the water can i see em?" and "I know you guys are all tired from catching turtles for your study and are ready to eat and pass out, but could you catch a turtle for me so i can be amused?" which of course i wouldn't do, but i would like to see some turtles not just in photos or pet stores for once.
so that got fucked
oh and to add to it, i'm posting this on my gf's comp, since mine has shit the bed after the power outage, well not totaly at least, windows just says explorer has caused an error and needs to be closed if i click on anything, if i thought my $700 worth of new hardware had died, you'd be seeing this on the news instead of on line, probably with a head like of "Computer nerd driven mad kills hundreds with stolen tank, film at 11" don't know where i'd get a tank, but yeah that's about the size of it
well now that i'm done venting about my own problems of a broken comp and a let down girlfriend, you may all go back to your lives.
