I'm grouchy - Page 8

Cadaverous Pallor · 05-11-2006, 11:12 AM

Stupid f'n weather. It just reminds me of all outdoor bday parties I had as a kid that were ugly like this. I hate wearing a sweater and ending up with hot weather by the afternoon, or freezing your ass off because you thought it would clear up but it doesn't. Hey, remember those painful weeks of school in May when you could practically feel summer vacation coming on?

Spring is my least favorite season, except for the bday part.

Today will be the first 100 day of the year in Phoenix. We'll probably have 5 or 6 more days in May under 100, but other than that, we'll be over 100 every day for the next 4 months, with probably 30-45 days over 110.

Hail here yesterday, for the third time in 3 weeks!

I got used to it in Texas, but that's not supposed to happen here.

Stupid fvckin office that doesn't let you remote in from your laptop while accessing the wifi on the grass outside the building.

It takes a special kind of grouchy for a brownie to fail to fix it.

I actually like this weather. Spring is always my favorite season. The flowers are beautiful the look so vibrant when it is overcast.

It's a bit muggy for me though and it reminds me that HOT is approaching. That does NOT make he happy. I really hate hot.

I took a break from stuff and sat outside in the new teak stemer lounge chair in the backyard. It was a lovely moment but I had to get back to work. That's why I'm posting here.

It's been a very long, frustrating day. Not as bad as Sam the McMan, but annoying.

Dimwit in Engineering: "The Office of Research promised matching funds for our telescope and we received the federal funding and we've picked out our telescope so tell me what budget number to charge it to and who can sign."

Me: "(sigh). As the award letter stated, these funds are collected through the budget office. Please contact Janis Campbell in the budget office and reference award number 260-something or other."

Dimwit: "I want to know the budget number to charge the expense."

Me: "That is not how these funds are dispersed. [because giving dimwits like you the budget number for the 7.3M matching fund isn't a wise idea] Please contact Janis in the budget office who will help you transfer the funds to one of your own budgets."

Dimwit: "Okay, but I want to order the telescope and I need a budget number. The Vice Provost promised these funds last year. Give me the budget number."

Me: [beats head on desk.]

Turned in my final and was looking forward to coming home, slipping into my jammies, and beginning my vacation.

And while I was gone today one of the cats threw up all over my jammies.

It was Boris.

I didn't see it, but Sasha's the resident purger.

Boris is ours. He's bulimic, actually. Or part goldfish- I can't decide.
