Well, I got my car back. It was hijacked by several bundles of phone books. I finally got the phone books out. I went to the guy and said: �Look, that route is all on country roads. Dirt roads with huge puddles and mosquitoes and my car bottoms out with ever ditch. I tried. Either you give me over the weekend to finish it, or you take all your damn books back.� Kmmm. I was nice though. He took them back. I told him I�d see his ass next year. Whew. Got one load of stress off my back.
Now Hurricane Frances is coming our way or partly our way. They are going to let us know if and when schools will be closed (probably tomorrow). I went and bought SEVERAL gallons of water. You know, you can never be too safe. I filled my newly empty trunk up with water where the phone books had been. So things work out.
Now I really have to do my homework. I have several chapters of written homework that should have been done and handed in by now. Duh. So, I got Tammy�s already graded homework and I�m going to copy it. Duh, I learned it by watching you! I have to do SOMETHING since I�m so distracted by all of my library books. If I�m going to disregard my homework so much...then I have to make up for lost time somehow.
I wish it was payday tomorrow. Cuz I have rent due. I�m going to have to take a payday loan out. I wish I could take one out from my boss. It�s much more convenient.
Oooo ooo. I just got a phone call. So romantick! It was the Court Administration people asking if I could come for an interview next Wednesday. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I�m so excited. They have good job security since you know, people always are going to court and whatnot. It�s with the mediations department. I�m so excited, and I just can�t hide it! Kmmm. I hope they hire me. Okay, slow down. There I go again, fantasizing all the way through retirement. I have a bad habit of doing that. With relationships too. By the second date, I�ve married them and filed for divorce already in my head. Fantasy world...la, la, la. Take it slow...it�s JUST AN INTERVIEW. Ahem.
So, we have off this Monday and possibly tomorrow. You know, evacuations happen quick. Naples (in the county below us) schools are already planning on closing early today. We are a regular emergency alert state. I�m looking on my calendar too and we have no school listed for Thursday, Sept. 16th. It�s Rosh Hashanah. No school. And then they go back on Friday. Wha, wha, what??? Me no get it. I never had off for Rosh Hashanah when I went to school. I wonder if my Government Cheese class will have off that night. Strange. A day off in the middle of the week??? I�m baffled.
I really need to get my ass out to the university and sign up for stuff for the spring semester. I have to find my tax info. also for last year and fill out my financial aid bullcrap. The sooner I start, the smoother it will be to start going at the beginning of the semester. I might have already missed the cut-off date for financial aid. I�m not sure.
You know, I�m not sure, and I know I�m sounding like I�m totally stereotyping races and religions, BUT...the hurricanes start brewing off the coast of Africa. Okay. And then they head right frigging for us...the �South� of the United States. M�kay. If I was crazy, which I�m not, I�d say that it is a curse from long ago of the African people putting voodoo on our slave-utilizing asses, for using them as slaves and whatnot. This is our payment. Now, I know you may argue that hurricanes have been coming at this area for centuries. But come on...humor me. The Africans are voodooing us and that�s the reason we are bombarded every year with a hurricane season, because of their hex. What? Try to come up with something better than that. At least I make sense as far as beliefs and myths go.
This lady here in a nearby cubicle keeps saying that for THIS hurricane, we are on �THE GOOD SIDE� (as opposed to the part of Charley that hit us or came near us, and the weathermen on the news was saying that the most powerful/active part of a hurricane is the upper right corner when looking at it on Doppler radar. The most recent (Frances) hurricane is coming from the opposite direction, thus giving us the �opposite� side being the left upper corner of this hurricane...). On the contrary, there IS NO FUCKING GOOD SIDE TO A HURRICANE. You boneheads. I totally hate hearing people�s �insight� and �intellect.� DOY. Just because the hurricane is coming from another �side� or �direction� does not give it less threatening features. A HURRICANE IS A FUCKING HURRICANE. They are still pre-determining that our area is going to have 80 mph winds. Now...that�s how Andrew did it. Andrew (like Frances) came for Miami and Homestead areas. Our county is on the opposite coast from them, and we did receive winds around 75 mph. But this last hurricane, Charley, was forecasted minimally, compared to what REALLY happened. They said Charley was only going to give us 60 mph winds and blah, blah, blah. Then, at the last minute, it �turned� and we all were told to duck and cover and kiss our sweet flooded asses goodbye. So, yeah. Don�t tell me we aren�t going to have too many problems and that the winds aren�t going to be that strong, you fucking LIARS! Harumph. That�s all I have to say about that. THIS JUST IN: SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED TOMORROW--FRIDAY.
