As I said to mother today, "If we ever had a real blackout here? People are totally hitting the gun shops and barricading themselves in their houses."

We'd just make a run on the stores and buy up all the milk, toilet paper and bread. It's our response to everything.

I need Biology help.

You are a girl.

You are a girl.

I know. And a girl just helped me. Turns out I actually knew what I was doing, but was just making it more difficult than it really was.

I'm going home. laters.

I've been so broken and jaded by the LAUSD, that when the power went down, I assume it was only school wide and continued teaching. Cause it could have been just my building. Who knows?

Power outtages have become unfaxeable.

52. The power went out and I had to stop working. I ate lunch. The power came back on and I didn't tell my boss. Then I wrote this.

Now THAT's what I'm talking about. Wait, is that your coworker Matt, Robin?

ION, I hate UPS. Hate. I have no idea how I'm going to get my textbook, and it's not my fault. I'm on hold now trying to modulate my tone so I don't flip the fuck out all over the next person who picks up the line.

SEVEN flights and you’re bitching and saying it’s like 9/11? WTF? People walked down FIFTY or a HUNDRED flights, if they were lucky enough to survive. Stupid bint.

I don't know how many of the non-Bronzers among you will remember little bam bam. He's a Gotham Bronzer, but he (all too seldom) pops in, usually to the Firefly, and Minearverse threads. When he posted at our little ex-pat forum about 9/11, it was...I don't even know how to describe it, because anything I can say does him no justice.

Anyhow, I remember him posting about the fire fighters making it up to the (I think) 89th floor of the World Trade Center, and he broke me, then. And here's this little ass hat comparing walking down seven flights of stairs. It makes me consider wishing things no person should ever wish.

OK you know what? I hate to say this, but I think it's just my UPS guy I should hate. Although being on hold for 20 minutes just now was nearly as bad as living through the Blitz in London, I tell you what.

Anyway, if I don't get my book tomorrow, I'm going to... write stern letter. Actually, I may do that anyway.

WATCH OUT! Jesse's about to write a stern letter!

This afternoon I got told by our head IT woman that some disks I asked her about two weeks ago aren't lost; she just needs to find them.

Head, meet desk.
