Kevin's bad day

Yeah, I know that everyone else has had worse days than this, but it's still a pretty hefty of bad coincidences worth talking about.

I didn't sleep well at all last night, cause I tried sleeping with a fan on next to me. No more of that.

I woke up and went to the board office to deliver my already late time sheet, but lo and behold, no one is actually at work at 8:40 except for me. I went to St. Pat's and found the doors locked, which is a rare occasion (last time I had to climb under a fence). After realizing I was too lazy to crawl under fences, and that both my bosses are away on vacation, I went and got a muffin. The doors were unlocked when I got back.

After being unable to find a list of things to do at St Pat's, I read a Reader's Digest and decided to take a very early, very long lunch break at 10:30 (admittedly, aside from the locked doors, it's not too bad a day at all yet).

When I got home, I figured I'd try to justify it by making some phone calls that needed to be made during the day. First on the agenda was trying to get into ECON 201, so I phoned the registrar's office. They said I have to get the prof to sign the sheet, which means I won't be able to do so until I'm back in Waterloo.

As for my $90 wasted on the spiderman boxset, I checked out the Visa website, which told me to contact Royal Bank. I phoned Royal Bank customer service who promptly connected me with Visa customer service(...). They told me to take it up with eBay, so I checked out their site who says my credit card company is able to reimburse me. So, I phoned Visa again, and after waiting on hold for about five minutes, they said the payment was past their 30 day period of which they could guaruntee my money back. Out of frustration, I emailed the guy who sold me the boxset, and he says he'll give me back my money (although I don't believe it).

I switched minidiscs and headed over to Saint Ignatius. After realizing I'd forgotten my keys at home, I worked on as much as I could with the unlocked rooms, and decided to surf the net, which was not working at the time. After searching for non existent solitaire, I listed to my minidisc, which, to my surprise, was blank. So I just sat in a comfy chair for about two hours, in which I made $18 (minus about $14 in taxes).

Enough post for today.
