intjonathan8:05: Birds wake me up. Funny, I don't remember leaving the window open. I close it and look forward to 45 minutes more sleep.
10:09: Cell phone rings. Immediately I realize that waking up to my phone is not good. I am late, caller ID confirms it. I was supposed to be at school 10 minutes ago. Why didn't my alarm go off? It's set. Fuck. Meeting postponed half an hour. I get ready.
10:30: Wait, how the hell am I supposed to get to school? I can't drive, I'll miss my next class when I take my car home. I can't walk or take the bus, I wouldn't get there till 11.
10:30-10:40: Attempt to reach anyone involved in the meeting to plead a ride. Finally reach Firass, who says he'll call me back.
10:40: Firass calls and says we'll reschedule. Great. This was the only meeting time for weeks that worked out. Fucking managers have 24/7 meetings. What good is a manager I can't communicate with?
10:41: Well, since I don't have to run for another few minutes to catch the shuttle, I'll have a donut. Mmm, donut.
10:54: Why isn't there anyone at the bus stop? Oh, this must be it. Here we go. "I'm just going to 32nd Street." Oh. That's why there's nobody here. Perfect. Well, I guess I'll wait it out, I'm already late anyway.
11:00: Geez, it's only been 5 minutes? I could be halfway there by now. I'm walking, maybe I'll catch it on the way.
11:03: Hey, there's the commuter bus! I'll just get on that! Hey, where are you going? Shit.
11:07: Hmmm, there goes the bus I was going to catch the first time. It sure goes a lot faster than I can walk. Maybe in the future I'll have to remember that and wait it out.
11:10: Hey, there's the commuter bus again! I can make it, sweet!
11:11: "Commuter" bus reveals its true identity as other 32nd Street bus, and turns left onto Bill McDonald.
11:15: I get off the bus right back where I started.
11:17: Enter bedroom to discover alarm going off. Discover it was set to go off at 11:07. Funny, I have no memory of setting it to that time. In fact I remember setting it properly. Reach conclusion that nothing I could've done was going to get me to my meeting or my first class today. I could've gotten up when the birds woke me, but I was far too tired to consider it. Time to write it off.
11:26: Realize I'm going to have to go back out there at some point and really don't want to. I could skip, and just go to work all day. We'll see.
