Today there was a reversal of roles, although if it had been a true reversal I would still be asleep. The better-half is taking his mother to undergo some tests and we decided it would be easier for him to cart her around in the car rather than the truck. So, I’m off today. Because I am lame and can’t drive a stick shift. Yes, I know. How awesome is it that the car’s alarm decided to go off by itself at 6:19am? I start bitching about how someone’s alarm is going off and I look out the window and discover it’s our car. The better-half thinks when he put the keys in his pocket that the fob somehow triggered the alarm.
I plan on working on a paper for one of my classes. With my luck I’ll get it mostly done and then find out tomorrow that we have a week’s extension. We have an assignment to write about and last week people in class griped about feeling like we’ve talked the case studies to death and they’d like to pick other case studies. Wouldn’t you know some folks are having a problem finding case studies that fit our topic? Mmmm, maybe you should be careful what you wish for.
Yesterday I was talking to my supervisor about another project I have to do for class which will require me to attend meetings, schedule interviews, etc. I felt like she was stonewalling me a little and I’m so sick of the word can’t that I’m thinking of yelling the next time and every time someone says that to really draw attention to it. I need to work on my poker face because she could tell I was annoyed and so we talked about other things I could do to still gather data. The fact that some of the things that I’m supposed to look for don’t exist at our organization will speak volumes. I need to look at positive and negative space so to speak.
In other news, I can see a wee snake on the pool cover. I suppose I need to get out there and rescue it before the sun comes up and fries it.
