We're not supposed to do laundry past 9. My interpretation of that (with which I've played fast and loose, but never mind) is that you're supposed to be done with the machines by then. I can put enough dosh in at 8:59 to have those dryers running all night.

That having been said--any load started at 8:30 is going to run past 9. AND THE WASHERS WEREN'T EVEN DONE YET. So I did not affect their schedule in the slightest, even before you get to the empty dryer.

At least the apartment manager seemed confused by the noise the still anonymous tenant made.

If I were just a little crabbier I'd have lurked for those 4 minutes so I could make eye contact.

Instead I came back to my apartment and ordered pizza.

Which means they must have complained pretty much right as my (one--the other dryer's empty) dryer finished, and they were the ones that told the (new) building manager my apartment # (I bumped into her on the way out).

oh dear, haven't even had dinner yet?

and oy, it's 9 and I haven't graded yet. Better get started.

Greetings from the night shift. Perhaps I'll make hourly crank posts in an effort to keep myself amused and awake untill 6 AM.

Of course, cranking Oingo's "Insanity" over the computer speakers is always a good way to start a night.

I've been very tired lately (earlier than is reasonable) for no discernable reason. Tonight, I'm sleeping in the living room, as that's where the warm and pretty fire is.

Why are you on night shift, connie?

Everyone gets their turn at the overnight weekend tech support chat line. Tonight's my turn. I wonder if anyone will mind if I sing along to "Try To Believe". Let's find out.

I brought my Buffy S1 DVDs (the only season I have), and ASH is darned cute on my computer monitor.

I just finished watching the ruin that is now Lara Flynn Boyle's face. Forget the house next door--the evil lives in those lips.
