dchenesIt's been a frustrating week. I keep getting home later than I wanted to, and not accomplishing anything once I get home. Sometimes I can make myself feel better by wandering around my apartment roaring ARGH at intervals for ten minutes or so. Not so much last night, though. I applied Guinness to the problem, and although it didn't change any of the circumstances that led to my being annoyed, it at least made me stop dwelling on how annoyed I was.
Today, fortunately, is Friday. I have a lot of running around to do on Sunday, but I think I might spend tomorrow seeing how little running around I can get away with doing. If I remember to go buy toothpaste this afternoon, I might get away with no running around at all. I like that idea. (Particularly since I spent so much of last Saturday running around and accomplishing almost nothing. That was frustrating too.)
I sort of want it to be bill-paying time already, so I can get back to the usual budget. Buying a new laptop sort of threw the budget for a loop last month; it's not that I couldn't afford it, but I didn't do the financial gymnastics I could have done last month because it was easier not to. The more transactions I do at once, the more opportunity there is for the bank to screw up one or more of them, and I refuse to give it more opportunities than I have to.
Every month I spend about a day hunting up journal articles online. I wish I'd been the one who invented the online archiving software for scientific journals, because 95% of them use the same one. The inventor must have made a zillion dollars.
