Beautiful Weather, Stressful Afternoon
May. 12th, 2014 08:35 pmNot only was the math portion of class long as fuck (we've started on decimals, and conversions take more math than I'd like), I ran into some issues when it came to getting home:
-->When I went to hit the bathroom before getting my bus, I discovered someone had vomited in the stall -- and the sink. It was dried, and I discovered this before touching anything more dangerous than the stall door, but still. I skedaddled and used my hand sanitizer post-haste.
-->When the bus finally came, something was wrong with said bus. Normally the bus beeps a few times when it first starts up, but this one wouldn't STOP beeping no matter what the driver did. A really shrill beep too. Add to that the fact that I think there was some other mechanical malfunction, and we only got as far as the next stop (Twin River Casino) before the driver said that "you're gonna have to get off and wait for the next bus." Said next bus was not only a bit late, but even if it hadn't been, it wouldn't have come in time for me to get home at my usual time. Fortunately there's a bus that leaves only a half-hour later, which I was able to catch, but it was still annoying.
-->Also, bathrooms at Kennedy Plaza? Don't have soap dispensers. Again, good thing I had hand sanitizer.
And then I ended up helping Mom and Dad with some grocery shopping when I did make it back home, plus making dinner and having to take my shower, and -- yeah, the afternoon was pretty much shot for me. *sigh* At I can say I got plenty of time outside in the warm weather. Seriously, it was just like summer. If it didn't actually hit 80 inland I'll be very surprised.
I also had a good writing period, and I haven't been completely overwhelmed with tags, so catching up won't be so bad (even if I just do one or two rounds of replies before turning in). And Dad got chocolate graham crackers, so ice cream sandwiches may be a thing for the next few days. I even got to watch Linkara, which was nice. So yeah, I can't say the day was horrible -- I just wish I hadn't gotten a bum bus home. :( Ah well. That and River dragons will be my griping points for the day. As it is, I'm gonna do tag catch-up. Later!
