Today started off much better than yesterday. When I got to work, the escalators were turned on. Yay. No hauling my ass up gigantor steps. It quickly went down-hill, though. Last night, a Windows patch was installed. This morning, half my keyboard did not work. I had to reboot several times before the problem resolved. And then I realized that the Windows update b0rkened OCLC. Since I, and most of my coworkers, cannot do any actual work without OCLC, this is sort of a biggie. Fucking bastards!
Day: February 22, 2007
February Sunrise
The one thing I hate about winter is the lack of light. The long nights and grey days really start to bother me after awhile. About this time of year, because I’m up early in the mornings, I start to see the days begin to lengthen. It’s not much, yet, but every little bit helps.
I no longer have a long drive east in the early mornings, which is probably just as well. I miss the sunrises, but with daylight saving time, I wouldn’t have gotten to see them anyway. And, guess what? DST will be starting even earlier this spring! On March 11, I believe. I guess I’ll just add that to the long list of things that I’m cranky about. It could be worse. At least I work on the one floor that has lots of windows.

Just to cap off a perfectly irritating day, Mr. Upstairs is rightthisminute jogging on his treadmill. While listening to some sort of thumpety-thump rave music. Also, the front hallway smells like pee.
Calgon, take me away!
