1) I decide to go get some data off of the comp of the scope I used yesterday. I got off the scope on time yesterday so the woman that was after me could get on at the time she signed up for. She was also signed up to image this afternoon. At 1pm. At 9am I sign up for an hour to get my data off the comp. I show up at 9:30 and she is there getting ready to image "I was going to get started a little early". A little early is an hour before your allotted time. Not 4. After her coming and going 3-4 times I just pulled my jump drive, left and signed up for an hour tomorrow. Scope etiquette... learn it.
2) The strap on my incredibly expensive work shoe broke at about 4:30 today. Which of course means I fell on my ass on the way home. I'm a klutz in general so this compounded with my mary-janes being turned into flip flops pretty much guaranteed I was going to fall. Fuckers. Luckily there is a good cobbler near work so I have to take them in tomorrow, since I had no spare shoes at work.
3) Again with the no parking spots at home. This time I just parked in the driveway. I may be nice and move my car in the morning.

Rotons
Its that time in the semester when new young people come into the lab to learn about what we do and see if they would like to be our slaves for 5-7 years.
Issues with roton 1:
In the lab we have formed a tradition of playing practical jokes on one another. Me and my grumpier-than-me labmate worked out a pretty good one on this one girl. The target of our joke then introduced herself to roton 1. Roton one then says "oh yeah. I know. They messed with your blah blah" thus foiling our awesome plan. If she does it again I'm kicking her out of the fucking window.
Issues with roton 2:
She talks/gossips/chatters ALL THE TIME!!!! On the phone, with 14 of her other roton friends, to us... the list goes on. Sometimes its completely adorable since she's gushing about science, but most of the time its about how drunk she got at her recruitment weekend and how she almost missed her interviews. I'm currently trying very hard not to rip the phone out of her hand and fling it in to a wall.
Perhaps they will grow on me. But most likely not.

Phones
At the university where I am currently working you cannot dial any number off campus without our 7 digit code. Even toll free numbers.
This wouldn't be horrible if this number worked most of the time. It does not. I think I have successfully dialed out 2 or 3 times. I now just use my cell phone, but only after i pick up the lab phone, remember it sucks and put it back in the holder cursing. This number also doesn't work for faxes. I have to try a number of different variations of waiting between entering the 3 different sets of numbers I need to enter and how fast I type these numbers in until it goes. Then of course I don't trust this machine since it takes me 14 tries to get the fax to "send" I need to do this whole dance twice separated by at least 2 minutes. If I try to send the fax immediately after the phone will go to the nice recorded lady that tells me that I dialed incorrectly.
I just need to make my cell phone send faxes. Then I won't ever have to deal with entering the code over and over and over again.
