THIS IS A SHOUTING AT MYSELF THREAD! →[More:]I'VE BEEN WAITING AND WAITING AND WAITING FOR MY FRIEND TO STOP BY AND PAY ME. HE WAS SUPPOSED TO STOP BY 'AROUND LUNCHTIME', SO I FIGURED I'D WAIT 'TIL HE GOT HERE AND THEN HITCH A RIDE WITH HIM TO A JOB I NEED TO FINISH, SINCE THE CLIENTS LIVE RIGHT NEAR HIM AND HE GOES HOME FOR LUNCH! OF COURSE I DIDN'T TELL HIM OF MY CLEVER PLAN AND NOW IT'S 4:00 AND HE'S STILL NOT HERE AND THERE'S NO WAY I CAN DO THE JOB TODAY NOW 'CAUSE THERE'S ONLY HALF AN HOUR OF DAYLIGHT LEFT, IF THAT! NOW I'M HOPING HE'LL COME SOON SO I CAN AT LEAST BUY SOME GROCERIES! BUT I CAN'T COUNT ON THAT BECAUSE HE HAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT CONCEPT OF TIME AND URGENCY AND SUCH! OF COURSE, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM IF I'D JUST LET HIM KNOW LAST NIGHT THAT IT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT IF HE SHOWED UP AT AROUND 1 OR THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME TO GET PAID TODAY OR ANY OF THAT!

I JUST PRINTED OUT THE SEVENTY-ELEVEN PAGES OF CHAPTER 6 OF A DISSERTATION I'M EDITING, BUT SINCE I'D BEEN PHOTOCOPYING A BUNCH OF STUFF BEFORE THAT I FORGOT THAT MY PRINTER CONVENIENTLY PRINTS DOCUMENTS LAST PAGE FIRST SO YOU CAN JUST STACK THEM, AND I'VE LOST THE OUTPUT TRAY SO I CAREFULLY GRABBED EACH PAGE AS IT CAME OUT OF THE PRINTER AND TURNED IT UPSIDE-DOWN! NOW I HAVE TO RE-COLLATE 79 PAGES BACK INTO THE CORRECT ORDER!!!!!!!!! (NO, I DIDN'T NOTICE BEFORE THAT--I WAS READING TRIVIAL STUFF ON THE INTERNETS! SHUT UP!!! I WAS MULTITASKING!!!!!!)

SWEET BUTTERY JEEBUS, I'M AN EEJIT SOMETIMES

And, in totally off-topic news, I find it odd but kinda cool that the front page story in our little local paper is a commentary on the Australian federal election.
