my calculator is missing. i just noticed today that it was gone. i don’t know if it was here yesterday or monday, but i’m pretty sure it was here last week. and now it’s gone. nowhere to be found, and i’ve searched my entire desk area and asked everyone in my group if they borrowed it. no trace. {sigh} there were people in the building over the weekend working on the sprinkler system, so the guess is that one of them swiped it off my desk. i’m annoyed. i’d had that calculator since 11th grade (that’s 8 years now). it was a ti-82, which they probably don’t even make anymore, so now i’ll have to learn how to use a new calculator. grr. i think this may be the only thing i’ve ever had stolen (knock on wood).
the baseball game last night was fun, even if the astros lost. the odd part was that the beginning of the game was delayed for about 20 minutes because of rain. yes, rain. a normal occurrence at most ballparks, but not in houston, where enron field, i mean minute maid park, has a retractable roof. strange. i guess they couldn’t close it fast enough; one of the ushers said they’d had the tarp out on the field for a while. i didn’t even know they had a tarp. who needs a tarp when you have a roof??
we didn’t get back until after 11:00 last night, and since i had to get up to go to fitness class this morning, i’m sleepy. it’s sad that i can’t stay up late anymore. hmm. on second thought, i think perhaps it’s just that i don’t like being sleepy, and now that i’ve finally escaped the non-stop ass-kicking of being in school, most nights i actually can get enough sleep to not be tired the next day. in school, 6 hours of sleep in one night was a luxury. now, 6 hours is a big annoyance.
anyway.
last night i decided that i want a polaroid camera, you know, the big bulky things that spit out 3″x3″ magically-developing-before-your-very-eyes pictures. so i went on ebay this morning and bought one for $3. cool.
