In which I wonder, where's my brain?

dchenesHee hee. Just as I was about to call up WERS and request a song, they played the song I wanted. Every so often I think the TV reads my mind; I'll be thinking about some episode or other of some show or other, and within a week they play it.
Today so far is better than yesterday, if only because I haven't done anything yet. On Thursday night I left my keychain drive attached to a computer in the lab and remembered it yesterday morning when I went to put my case study on it and couldn't. So I went to the lab to retrieve it and get a crash course in the new version of MultiTerm. Now, the lab is locked; you need your ID card programmed to open it. So of course while I was in the lab doing MultiTerm stuff, my ID fell out of my pocket, and I completely failed to notice until I got home and found e-mail from the lab assistant saying he'd found it. So I ran right straight back there, retrieved my ID, forgot completely that I had brought my keychain drive with me so I could download some project management stuff, ran back home again, observed that it was bloody freezing cold out and decided that I wasn't going anywhere else yesterday, thank you very much.
After that I made something vaguely quichelike for dinner. I used bread crumbs instead of an actual crust and I think it needed more cheese in it in general, but it also had mushrooms and spinach in it, along with dill and garlic and salt and pepper, and it holds body and soul together and used up the mushrooms I wanted to use up. So there.
If it wasn't Saturday, I'd go back to the lab today and download that stuff I forgot yesterday. I have to have looked at it by 5 PM tomorrow, and I can do that without downloading it, but I won't know exactly how many files it involves unless I download it. Actually, it being Saturday doesn't mean anything any more; I think this project management group is going to be the death of my non-academic day. How do you explain to a control freak with OCD (she told me that; I'm not exaggerating) that no, you aren't going to a meeting on a particular day, because that's the day you don't do anything school-related?
Never mind. Not worth getting worked up about. It is what it is, and that's that. I think I'll go out and figure out how I'm going to indulge myself.
