I woke up stupid this morning, and I hope that isn't contagious, too.

Too late.

Very much so. I managed to get myself out the front door with things I need if I do spend tonight at Juliana's, and things I need if I don't, remembered to charge my cell phone, and even packed myself a lunch.

Then I drove past the gas station I meant to go to, and then parked on the wrong side of the car at the station I did go to (and yes, I have had this car for three years now).

I think I need to be quarantined.

Possibly. I'm thisclose to hurling my mouse across the room. Why oh why, database designers, did you switch my drop downs for ticky boxes? Now, not only do I waste valuable microseconds taking my hands off the keyboard to reach for the mouse, but if said mouse is even the slightest bit sticky, putting the cursor on the box to check it is nigh impossible. I have to come at it from several angles before finding one direction in which the rolly ball will, you know, roll.

Today, I was late to working have managed to miss four buses AND now that I'm here -- everytime I go into the bathroom and look in the mirror I find ANOTHER stain on my shirt.

Sigh.

You need an optical mouse. Any time I find a ball mouse in my box 'o computer bits it goes to the trash.

I've been at work for 2 hours so far. 12 hours to go. I really need a nap.

Hahahahhaahahah! **sighs** Ahem. I can't get a pack of post-it's. No way are they letting me get a new mouse.

This morning I nearly forgot to vote, but I remembered just in time. I have to admire the dedication of one of the election sign holders outside of the voting area. She was standing there in the rain with the sign of a guy who was running unopposed.

I should say thanks to the University of Florida for enabling my win in the office NCAA tournament pool. I'm sure that was a motivating factor for them. I think I'm 3 of 8 now in bracket pools that I've been in.

I did that thing when I woke up where I incorporated my alarm clock into my dreams, and when I finally opened my eyes, I couldn't understand the numbers. Fifteen minutes later, I had to do the shit-shit-shit stumble out of bed, tripping and dropping things and trying to make sure I had matching socks and my keycard and my bus pass and did I remember to put makeup on both eyes and oh crap have to go back for the umbrella.

I actually got to work five minutes early, but I can only do one thing at a time, because if I try to multitask my brain explodes and 1+1=fnord.

Ahem. I can't get a pack of post-it's. No way are they letting me get a new mouse.

That sucks. There used to be a ball mouse only policy here for replacement mice since the guy in charge of MIS purchases or whatever saw optical mice as a luxury item despite being able to get them for 10 bucks at CompUSA down the street. They've loosened up here though.

I can no longer access gmail from my google home page or by typing in the url.

I have to hit "account", check out my settings, go to "calendar" and then click "gmail."

WTF?
