a super special day for all!
the first day of school gets less and less exciting every year. not that it was ever all that exciting to begin with, but for some reason this year just feels like it came out of nowhere. so it still hasn't hit me that i've started school already.
sucks for you guys who haven't.
cause i get out earlier than you.

sleeping fail
i woke up this morning at 8:30 today.
to the average person, that is the time when one normally wakes up. as a matter of fact, 8:30 would generally be late for an average person who has to go to work. but as luck would have it, i do not have work today, and i looked forward to sleeping in and naturally waking up about 3 hours later. so you could imagine the frustration i felt when i was forced awake.
by a fire alarm.
through all the times i've been at the kap house, i have never heard the fire alarm go off once. nor have i heard of any instances of when it had in the past few years. why now?
being the good resident as i was, i hopped immediately out of bed and walked outside. we waited outside for a few minutes while the fire department sent a truck over. when they got here, sirens and all, they promptly entered the house and proceeded to check out the trouble. none of us could guess what could have possibly triggered the alarm, especially since all of us were asleep when the alarm went off. did something catch on fire?
no. turns out there was too much dust on the third floor. what?
anyway, they turned the alarm off and then told us to be careful. so they left, and by this time it was 9 in the morning. i wanted more sleep, so i hopped in bed and tried to sleep.
at approximately 9:04, the alarm went off AGAIN.
note that the firemen had JUST left the house.
so we frantically called our security provider, and they told us to reset our system to restore peace in the house. by this point, i was just tired and cranky, and i wanted bed. so i got back to bed and slept.
surprise! alarm goes off for a THIRD time. so after another phone call, we hit the 'silent' button on the alarms, and the provider said they'd come check out the alarms at noon. problem solved.
turns out the second floor alarm doesn't know the meaning of SILENT.
basically house beeped for like 4 straight hours and i got no sleep yay.

my last day of work
4:22 PM - i think it's only fitting that the song i heard on the radio while i was leaving was 'already gone'. i'm also surprised at how sad i feel for being done.
4:06 PM - and now i'm done!
4:00 PM - talked to my boss for like 20 mins about life.
3:34 PM - i just got a lesson on how to read feeder maps by jenna michelle cloutier. when am i ever going to read a feeder map again?
3:01 PM - ONE HOUR. I WANT TO GO HOME.
2:57 PM - i hate when the bathroom is closed for cleaning. i feel like it happens almost every other time i have to go.
2:38 PM - david sides has got to be one of the most talented musicians out there. check him out at http://www.youtube.com/user/kemlye1
2:30 PM - i've resorted to watching youtube vidoes.
1:47 PM - i just asked my boss to write me a reference letter, but he told me he might not be able to because apparently the company doesn't want to be liable for their employees' actions in other areas...
11:52 AM - OUT TO LUNCH. BRB.
11:37 AM - uh oh, i only have 5 dollars. but that's okay, i guess i'll get a five. five dollar foot long! (even though it's actually $5.31, now that tax has gone up...)
11:36 AM - my stomach is growling sooo loud. i want to eat!
11:07 AM - i just scanned several documents for my boss. does that count as actual work?
10:39 AM - i'm hungry.
9:52 AM - aw, he found it. but he has NO idea who did it hahaha
9:47 AM - oh my god... they came out with ong bak 2? http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809869619/video/15003055
9:45 AM - time passes by too slowly when there's nothing to do.
9:16 AM - just found the other co-op's iphone laying around on his desk. we hid it on top of an exit emergency sign... let's see how long it takes before he finds it! (and this is the kid who will send out random emails on your account if you leave your computer unattended.)
8:05 AM - i'm late for work again. but i walked into the office and no one's here. at all.
