Time isn't fast enough

[seandc]

Well, today was fun. Not. A lesson on why the only way to buy things is to go to a store and hand over cash. Finding the right words for covering letters. Back and forths with various places over what books we can or can't order from them, no matter what their website says. And then I found part of the problem is caused by our own department. Arrgh! *headdesk* I hate dealing with financial things anyway, and now this... I'm glad S is back, she can do all that from now on. Anyway, bad day, just all that stuff, the constant interruptions, and missing out the interesting part of the staff meeting. On top of my normal stuff (when I can get to it). If the contractors doing the rebuilding work manage to accidentally mess up my new phone hookup... *wonders how much stuff-up a slab buys...* I'm tired of being Reliable-Dog-Geyser-Person for front desk. They've only got three up there, one's away half the week training other sites, so when another takes some time off, it's left to me to be always ready to take calls/desk when the other person is off elsewhere. I go to check something on the shelf... oh, can't, since there's nobody on the other side. Perhaps start on the copyin... oh, phone, and it's me again...

Oh for Pete's sake... just clicked on to the Australian's website (got the guy who normally checks the hardcopy back, so didn't see this this morning). Yet *another* "the schools are indoctrinating students in radical left-wing anti-Howard, anti-American anti-sunshine-and-puppies agenda" piece. *headdesk* http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,12190959%5E7583,00.html (I don't remember how to code links...) Remember kids - the slightest dissent is treason! And I wish we still got English in Australia so I could check out this eeeevil brainwashing for myself.

Today just got to me... roll on impulse-comic-buying-Friday...

You scored as Medieval Knight/Lady. You're too romantic for this age. You believe that the past was far more interesting and you easily get boored by people discussing mundane stuff. When you see someone being bullied you unconciously reach for your sword. Keep it up! Our age needs knights (and ladies)! </td> Medieval Knight/Lady 69% Hurrah! YOU belong where you are! 69% Ancient Roman 67% Enlightenment 52% Stone Age buddy 52% Renaissance personality 50% 20th century individual 50% Which time period do you rightly belong to? created with QuizFarm.com

I've only got one thing to say about this... Ni! :D (although I'd say I belong more in the future...)

You scored as Clio. You are Clio, the muse of history. You love academic pursuits, but still know to have fun. You're a bit of a tease and a prankster. </td> Clio 69% Polyhymnia 56% Thalia 50% Urania 50% Terpischore 38% Calliope 31% Melpomene 31% Euterpe 25% Erato 19% Which of the Greek Muses are you? created with QuizFarm.com

Prankster, eh? *throws banana-cream-pies at everyone*

*gives you a big hug*

Don't overdo the impulse-shopping, sweetie. I know what I am talking about... ;)

[seandc]

Thanks sweetie *hugs back*

And I'm not going to overdo it... just 2 or 3 trade paperbacks this week, depending what's in ;)
And maybe some old rare comic...
And some DVDs...
And some chips to eat while watching...

*Taking a brief break from the essay...*

You scored as Enlightenment. You belong to the age of the Enlightenment. Frankly, I've no idea whether you'd be an enlightened despot or an enlightened average person if you lived in the 18th century. But that's definitely where you belong. Get out a whig or corset and sit down with a book, is my advice if you want to make the best of your life in our century. </td> Enlightenment 90% Renaissance personality 67% Ancient Roman 55% Medieval Knight/Lady 41% 20th century individual 36% Hurrah!
