The Month Closes...
Well, it's the last day of the month. This has no special significance for me. Well, maybe it should. I am paid twice monthly... but you know, it's direct deposited and the rent is automatically sent out the next day, so I don't even think about it...
I wonder if I'm missing out on a certain thrill? I was just in our departmental mail room and heard two of the student aids talking about how they were "so disappointed" that today wasn't pay-day... I guess that doesn't equate to "excited" when it is payday...
I guess there is one good thing about the new month... I get to flip my calendars to the next page...
Anyway, Since last weekend was such a loss, I'm in definite need of a productive day this weekend. Probably Saturday... but it will need to be productive in a get-stuff-graded kind of way rather than a get-stuff-cleaned-up kind of way...
In other news, my laptop corrupted itself yesterday about an hour before I was set to teach a class with it. I'm finally running a disk-diagnostic today to try to revive it, but it was really inconvenient... I got to show off how poor my PC skills were for my class (I normally use a Mac to do demos)...
Well, off I go... Probably doing some game-playing this fine evening with friends. I just registered another piece of shareware... That game that I was playing when I missed a day during my "Two Week Experiment"... Avernum 3... I decided to go ahead and register it... It's an enjoyable distraction... But it's making my TiVo jealous.
