Smile...?

I could really need a smile from some cute guy today...

Did I get that?

Nope.

Would it have improved my day?

Yup.

Not a Happy Camper

As the title suggest: I'm not happy.

Things are really just pissing me off today, for no apparent reason. I realize it's Monday, but Mondays are usually just slow. Not the day when everything makes me irritated. That is Wednesday's job.

So then it does not help that the library, where I spend most of my time right now, is boiling. And the architects that came up with the design deserves some serious punishment.

Why is it, that its cold in the winter, warm in the summer, and it isn't even possible to open a window?

They must be men. And useless.

Cute is what I aim for? part 2

ok, so I've once more had one of those "I-wish-I-was-cuter-to-look-at" moments. This has more to do with my choice of clothing, than how I generally look.

One of my favourites, a guy who is all smiles, and I kind of know from university, bicycled past me just the other day. The day I was wearing my Ramones tee, and all black clothing. Rock'n'Roll for sure, but not exactly cute. And for him, I would wish to be cute. 'cause he is cute.

And even though he is very friendly, and owns a Woody Guthrie tee, I just don't think he can ever smile at anything besides my ridiculous clothing choices.

Not that I'm calling Ramones tees ridiculous, but maybe, just maybe, I should reconsider. But then again, I just don't think flower patterns and pastel colours would be my thing.

Nah, I'll stick with Ramones. Cute or not.

Just one of THOSE days

Yesterday was just one of those days.

It started normal, and then slowly turned into strangeness... Maybe it has something to do with getting up earlier than usual. Half an hour can really make a difference.

So I stumble along to a day course on a new computer system. Yeah. 12 adults and a very young teacher. And he takes it slow... Very slow. I had time to do everything else, as well as paying attention. And one of the participants had only good things to say about a person there is nothing good to say. Smile and nod. And the evaluation question: "How do you rate your own efforts today?" (rather dumb question), just made it very temting to mark the highest grade.

After this was finished, I stole cake, not in a discreet way, to a friend in sugar need.

Cake delivered, I went to the grocery store, where the person in the check out line was happy. He even said "have a nice day" to every single one of us. Shocking.

Safely at home, making dinner, someone knocks on my door. This never happens. So I open the door, in the dark for some reason, and outside there is a tall thin man, slightly wet from the rain and out of breath, who did not expect that the door with Star Trek posters belongs to a girl. So he handed me a flyer, and stuttered something about the up coming election.

Later I was going out to meet some friends, on a normal Monday. This resulted in a person asking to borrow my phone. I have just gotten a new phone, so this was not an option. Instead I offered some money for a payphone. This was received with God Bless You! And many thanks. And many more God Bless You.

When she left, a man comes up to me, and wonders when the grocery store closes. Since we we're going on the same bus he strikes up a conversation. And follows me to the café. And when I'm about to go in, and says bye, he asks me if he can see me again this weekend. "No, I have exams, I have to spend my weekends preparing". Next weekend. "No, I'm not going out any more. I have to study for exams. But it was very nice meeting you. Bye".

Thank goodness the waiter was kind of a dish. And there was no more strangeness.
