TGIF? [Taken from Live Spaces Blog, 09 julio 2005, 6:14]

This was supposed to be posted 4 hours ago, but the server was down.

Well, nothing TOO extraordinary today. Woke at 6, breakfast (platanitos fritos con frijol), watched some Seinfeld (yay! ), and did and learned some more PHP. I got several calls, though... JM asked me to reassign some of his classes in college, MSDN told me the Windows Server I needed was ready, & Mr. Richard G.asked me for some advice on buying a laptop.

So I left for MSDN at maybe 1330, took 3 buses, got there at 1430, and waited 1/2 an hour to get some attention. And had my lunch: 3 cups of coffee and a cup of water. I got the Windows Server all right... maybe at 1515... with no CD reader... and of course I had all my info on a CD. We tried copying it through the network... the network card was damaged. The technician replaced it... and no signal. 20 minutes later, he found out a local switch was unplugged... THEN it worked. Meanwhile, I copied my info into another PC, .PDF format of course. And no Acrobat Reader installed...

And the inconveniencies just kept on coming... it was 1800 when I actually began working. Out of the 39 demos I'm supposed to do, I finished 1. But I can't help thinking that ALL those problems will never come as surprises again. So it was ALL worth it.

I left at 1840, and took 2 buses to get to college during rush hour. Got there at 2000, reassigned JM's classes, and got about 10 minutes Compilers class. By that time I was wondering how was I going to get home. Good old Dad called at about 2040, and told me he'd pick me up in 1/2 an hour. So I waited. But there were enough people there to keep me entertained... we talked about dream trips to Germany 2006, girls, Belize trip, internet shopping, and a mathematical model that exemplifies the collapse of Mayan society.

My dad picked me up at 2146. We got home, I had dinner (arroz con chirmol), and I tried some more PHP. Now I have to wake up at 6 again... hmmm... got 4 hours of sleep left.

I realized I didn't even notice it was friday... weekdays don't mean much to me anymore.
