Pop Quiz Time!
Jan. 13th, 2009 11:42 pmYour roommate opens the door at 10:30 PM on a Tuesday night. It is January, and about 35 F (about 2 C) out. Plus wind chill. Do you let your roommate take off her coat before you try to borrow her screwdriver and engage her in conversation about her fifteen hour day? (In that order, mind: hardware loan, then social discourse.)
[Poll #1330799]
The day that I declined to go into as I took my coat off included: misadventures at the NIH ("I need to see S. about an extended visitor's badge?" "She's out. She'll be back... later"), being late to work (see: misadventures at...), missing gloves, and a two-hour chorus practice where, after a three-minute warmup, the chorus director wasted half an hour on announcements. Some of which were redundant, and included digressions. The abuse of my "fun" time when I am tired and cold is making me reconsider community chorus.
The good news is that hump day is tomorrow, and I'm already done with the crazy-making part of my week. Mostly.
