makes me feel glad that I'm not dead

me: ::did not get much sleep last night:: ::wakes up just before alarm goes off anyway:: ...That's a fail, brain.

Supervisor Guy:* So upper management says they probably won't force any more overtime, but we'll keep asking for anything anyone can do.
there: ::is much rejoicing::
me, on mental soundtrack: Guess everybody complaining got through, for a change.

there: :;are exactly two machines in the entire group that I can run::
someone: ::beats me to one of them::
the other: ::is broken::
me: ...Clearly this isn't gonna work. ::gets Supervisor Guy::
Supervisor Guy: ...They didn't fix that? Huh. ::kicks person off the other machine I can work::

work: ::otherwise un-notable::

home time: ::arriveth!::
me: ::drives::
car along road in Oxford: ::license plate: PWNED::
me: ::gigglefit:: ::mentally awards owner the Best License Plate Ever (OR At Least Today) prize:: ::continues driving::
the Anvil Lost sign: ::is down!::
me: woe! Guess they found it, then. ::continues driving::

another car: ::comes up behind me like zoom, about the middling-end of my drive::
me: ...Look, I'm sorry 50 isn't fast enough for you, but you're gonna have to deal.
they: ::stay on my arse anyway::
me: Oh look, here's a passing zone.
they: ::don't try until the third passing zone::
at that point: ::HELLO ONCOMING TRAFFIC::
other car: ::stays stuck behind me::
me: IALVATJ** I WIN AT CARS. ...I lose at life, but I WIN AT CARS!
they: ::are behind me until I'm nearly home, only attempting to pass (and failing) one other time::
me: ::somewhat surprised they didn't try illegally, really::

home: ::is got to::
Dad: ::is already there::
me: ::grabs comics::
punchline on a comic: "How did you prepare for the SAT?" "I think I went to a Barenaked Ladies concert in Cincinnati."
me: ...UM YES I'M KEEPING THAT.
it: ::will likely be on my door next year::

*Not to be confused with El Supervisor, thank you outsourcing.
**Since I expect maybe four people to know this, if they remember: I Am Laughing Verbally At This Joke.

Meanwhile: Hey, Trina? If you haven't read the Foundation trilogy yet, I'm getting the sense so far (all 70 pages I've read) that it's right up your alley.

Space! And sociology, sort of! And lots of mind games, it's looking like.
