divine angst

Several hours later, I don’t think it’s going to be one of those days. Thank goodness.

We have some computer weirdness here at work with a couple of servers and databases that are sending false error reports (well, basically). And I’ve been trolling around for paperwork we have to complete to transfer the title of our car. And I had to clean the spilled coffee in my car. Little bits of nonsense to deal with.

But all in all, things are going OK. So I’ve been looking at computers online. I’m trying to decide when to buy my new laptop. Should I wait until after WWDC 2005, when Apple might announce updates to PowerBooks? The main problem with waiting is if they announce a major upgrade. I don’t want the first version of a new PowerBook—they’re always buggy. But I don’t want to buy now if they do get updated just a little, like a speed or memory bump. Oh, the dilemma! Such things I have to worry about!

Um, so yeah. It’s just a slow week, you know? We are maintaining here, not upgrading or revising or anything labor- or thought-intensive. Just more of the same.

This morning, I walked out to my car and discovered it was blocked in by the Coca-Cola truck. I didn’t even know our complex HAD a Coke machine. He parked where there were no cars, EXCEPT mine. So I had to do a nice twenty-eight point turn to get sideways so I could back up around him, and then squeeze through the almost-not-space he left on the other side of his truck.

Look, I know it’s a tiny parking lot, but if you made your deliveries about an hour later, there wouldn’t be ANY cars. Some people don’t leave until after 8. But most people are gone by 9. Just FYI, man, FYI.

(And then I spilled coffee in the car while turning into the parking lot at work. Mrpgh. I hope it’s not going to be one of THOSE days.)
