This has to be one of the worst days for my groove ever....

Attempted to use the chicago Metra system on this first day of clinic, only to wind up a good 3-4 miles from my destination. To make matters worse, I'm in dress shoes that do not lend themselves to long walks, I was running early and now I'm 20 minutes late, I sweat a lot (which doesn't bode well for dressy clothes and the lack of deodorant under my arms), and I am wandering semi-lost in the southside of chicago which is not one of the safer areas of town, especially for a white dude.

So I make it alive and kind-of well to clinic (largely thanks to my wife driving south and picking me up as I wandered the streets) and after making it through the day, manage to get lost again while looking for the train station to get home (the one I should have ended up that morning).

But wait, there's more!

Meanwhile back home, my poor wife locks herself out of the apartment, middle of the day when trying to take the dogs out for a piddle. Doesn't have her phone, baby is inside screaming and no one is around. So she kicks down the front door which was fortunately not dead-bolted. Really sad considering that we both worked hours over several days on that door to reenforce it and then put the trim back on.....

BAD DAY!

Does Harold's Chicken still exist in Chicago? If it does go get you and your wife some- you've earned it.

As for the door, Gothos, only the bottom door knob was locked (hence why the door was locked and her without a key). no deadbolt....

slacked off and stayed up way to late playing deus ex. Today is going to hurt and I've barely started.

censorship.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Haven't been well today, didn't get up till late afternoon then had to look after the house while the parents were out in that less than two hopur time frame I managed to get jehovah's witnesses at the door, one of these phone survey people who was a nightmare to get off the bloody phone and went on for ages beforehand making me think it was a personal call and then it started pissing down with rain and I had to get in four sets of bed stuff. So now I am soaked and twice as knackered as before, I am retreating to bed for the time being.

LOL I get that sometimes. Way back when I started in the Civil Service I'm told that a number of the gay men in the office had a bet on as to whether I was. Apparently most of the bets were on yes, but I'm afraid a few people lost money on that one :yes

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

Nothing wrong with being gay, in fact in many ways, I think it's a compliment.

Messing with my groove:

My laptop's graphics card is toast, probably literally since my computer's been having temperatrue-tantrums in the last couple months.

Upside: Computer under warranty.
Downside: 10 hours on the phone and I still can't find an authorized repair center within driving range. There are 3 in SoCal that will do it, but they ONLY ACCEPT WALK-IN REPAIRS

Anyhow, I might have to ship the bastard off to bum-fuck to get it repaired, then pay the shipping back.
