Sep. 2nd, 2003 01:03 pmKent is absolutely lousy with black squirrels. I haven't ever seen black squirrels before, but they're apparently so common around here that KSU has a Black Squirrel Festival. I guess that'll teach me.
I went out this morning with the intention of getting a Mess of Stuff Done. First, I had to go drop off my student ID to be programmed to access a graduate computer lab I'm going to need to get into. So I did that, and mind you, I didn't think it would be a big deal, because I've used my ID exactly once since I got it, and that was in an ATM. My next errand was to go to the recreation center and find out about the climbing wall. Guess what you can't get into the recreation center without? Yep. No ID, no entrance, and no information anyway, since the climbing wall doesn't open until noon and the front information desk didn't have anything helpful to say. Oh well, says I, I'll go to the library and do some reading. Which I did, and then I got a bright idea and went looking through the university web site for information about student software prices. I'm going to have to give up and install MS (spit) Word. Guess what you can't buy software at a discount without?
So, until after lunchtime tomorrow, I can't do any of the things I wanted to do today. However, it's no longer raining, which is good, and I found the local post office, which is good too, since the post office in the student center isn't all that useful (and when I get around to shipping wine, it'd probably be even less useful).
At least this all falls under "minor inconveniences" instead of under "screaming emergencies".
Off to make phone calls.
