erratioThis weekend has been full of bad stuff happening to me:
Item 1: I arranged with my manager at work to start working on Saturday mornings. Timetable changes usually don't take effect until the next week. So of course on Saturday morning at 7:30am I'm woken up by my manager wanting to know where I am, and then asking me to come in. Luckily for me I was only half-asleep at the time so getting up and hauling ass to work wasn't too much trouble. And he apologised for making the mistake when I did get in :P
Item 2: Last night I ordered a taxi so I could get to work on Sunday morning (the bus I normally take doesn't run until 7am on Sundays). I booked the taxi for 4:40am. At 4:30am I was outside playing with the cat and doing exercise. At 4:45am I was looking at my watch and pacing back and forth. At 5:05am I was blasting the taxi company over the phone about it. The guy at the other end claimed a taxi was there at 4:43. When I stated (in a voice as cold as the depths of winter) that I had been waiting outside since 4:30, the only response I got was an offer to book me another taxi. 15 minutes later I was finally on my way to work, getting in half an hour late. I am never taking an early morning taxi again. Instead I will be walking down to Bondi Beach and getting the 380, which runs early even on a Sunday morning.
Item 3: The router upstairs has decided to stop working. So now I'm blogging about it from my dad's computer downstairs.
On the other hand, this weekend hasn't been entirely empty of good stuff. Yesterday I finally typed up and submitted my part of the Software Project Management assignment. After work yesterday I went and bought the 4th season of Babylon 5 so that I can finally finish watching from where I was up to. And today I spent mostly watching said Babylon 5 =) It's strange now I think of it, B5 is the only hobby/TV show I've ever gotten so emotionally attached to. While I was watching the new episodes today I was sitting on the couch grinning like an idiot, being moved almost to tears by the tender moments, and laughing out loud at the dry humour. Did I mention how much of a nerd I am? For the next 4 Thursdays I'll probably go and pick up one season of B5, so that I'll have the full set and will be able to fully appreciate the series' awesomeness
