Having one of my typical days

[cornerofmadness]

The only thing I should have had to do was put in grades. I always say this won't take long and never take a lunch. This time I took one and thought wow maybe I won't need it then sure enough my computer kept crashing. I was there from 10:30-4:30 struggling with what should have taken an hour. I'm done with this. I'm going to get the grading software HERE at home and be done with it.

I never park behind the building. Today I did because the stack of tests was too heavy for my worsening shoulder. And today is the day my coworker thought she could cram her freaking minivan between me and the chemist and scraped the holy fuck out of my passenger side fender and rubbed the paint off my bumper. 'want to exchange insurance.' No, I want you to give me YOUR card. I wasn't even IN my car. I'm just lucky she was honest and told me but yes I damn well plan on charging the repairs to her insurance.

I get home and mom tells me my aunt has opted for a narcotic coma today. I can't say that I blame her. She kept having panic attacks every time she felt a little out of breath. I can only imagine it's terrifying lying there waiting to die.

There was a little good for the day. My grades ARE in, though I realized about 5 minutes ago that this is the first time I've had two semester classes and I'll be stuck with the same students next semester. at least most of them aren't too bad...

I did get all the gifts packaged and ready to send except for one thing I brought back from Canada that I've been going back and forth whether or not to give it to evil_little_dog or silvrethorn and it has been in my bedroom for 9 months and now it's gone. WTF?

And I'm switching my netflix mailing addy to Mom's so I call her and tell her and ask anything she wanted on queue.

Mom - you bought me the last Harry Potter right so I won't need that

Me - I neither confirm nor deny that (John bought it)

Mom - X-Men first class

Me - already first in the queue

Mom - Green Hornet.. no wait we saw that. Green Lantern

Me - One Hal Jordan coming up

Mom - Captain America

Me - no problem

Mom - Cowboys and Aliens

Me -netflix is being a butt and not available until the third

Mom - that last johnny depp pirate thing

Me - is that out?

Mom - I think so. I'll go look up more stuff later.

Poor Naru.

It's nice to know that I'm not the only old fart with that taste in movies. *g*

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Poor Naru!

Your Mom and her movies. Why can't my Mom choose movies like that?

I'm sorry about your aunt, but I can understand why she'd want to do that. It would have to be horrifying, never knowing and still knowing it could happen any second.

Naru is gonna cost $$$ to fix

Your mom isn't a geek

yeah i think i'd just OD on the damn pills frankly

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

*nod nod* But not your money, hopefully.

No, that would've been Dad.

Hmmmmm.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

he is sad

snort. Mom's a geek

Well, crap about Naru, but at least your coworker didn't have a red car and leave colored gouges and paint streaks. The damage doesn't look too dire.

Dying the way your aunt is dying must be like drowning--slowly. I'm glad narcotic coma is an option (and frankly I wish it was legal to oops! overdose and let people in her condition drift away instead of fighting and panicking for days and days).

You're going to have to take that thing from Canada, cut it in half and send half to each of us, I guess. If you ever find it again, that is.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah exactly. It's not bad but I bet the estimate comes back over a grand

it has to be. Well narcotic coma here IS self induced.

I'm trying to figure out which of you will use it more provided you know my house ever spits it back out

At least you can charge her insurance. :/

Obviously, the cats stole the gift.

(Hugs about your aunt.)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

shouldn't be. her insurance should pay for it all

true

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah exactly

iwouldn't doubt it

thanks

Ouch! Sorry about Naru... Glad to know that her insurance will have to pay the damages. Grant is in the shop too... Trying to track down a short that is draining the battery. Dealership says "it's your after market radio." I say "No it's not, it was doing it before I put it in. Keep looking."

Even moar bettah.

Getting the grading software at home sounds like a brilliant idea. Less of a hassle for you, hopefully.

Wow. I'm glad she was honest about side-swiping your car.

I'm really sorry about your aunt. Toward the end with my dad, I kind of wish we could have done something like that cause there is a certain quality of life that I wish we could have maintained with him and for a long while I know he was miserable.

I like your mom's choice in movies!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah i could have done it but kept worrying about this old computer which is just dumb since the school owns the software. if it crashes I get the disc again from them

yeah me too

Right, your poor father would have gone through something a lot like this and my aunt has zero quality of life left and to me that's important

I do too

good luck finding the short
