friday! yay!
Apr. 21st, 2006 07:46 pmHoly crap, a new Star Trek movie? In which "we will see how (some of them) they first met at the Starfleet Academy?" I fear it even as I look forward to it. I adore the original cast to pieces...BUT NO SCOTTY... -_-
The only thing more depressing than looking up while filling up the tank with gas and seeing the $3.15/gallon of regular is knowing that the wholesale price of gas will be going up 16 cents next week. I don't really understand the economics of the gas cap law, but I really really hate the feeling of inevitable doom when they announce every Wednesday the price for the next week. It's wonderful when the price is falling, but the human mind likes to remember the bad so we all tend to remember things like three weeks in a row of prices rising at least 10 cents a gallon. *sighs*
But also depressing? That refreshing your friends page hoping that the thing you are waiting for will pop up, even though you had just done that like 3 minutes ago and nothing really changes in 3 minutes. It's possibly worse than watching grass grow. The anticipation is just killer.
My friend called me with a "funny story" today. They had a big (BIG) deadline at work today, which they had worked insane hours for because of last minute glitches (though I suppose the problems they had were far too big to be called mere "glitches"). So of course today was the day when their entire network went down thanks to a fried router. I laughed painfully with him, but later shuddered at the thought of the network in MY office going down on the day of a big deadline. You'd hear the screaming in space.
