Jake becomes grumpy (read: here comes a rant)
So I had a really good weekend… and on my day of rest (Sunday) I typically don’t shower (eww gross) unless I’m heading out of the house. It was nice.
Then I wake up on Monday morning… to a pile of snow… on March 12th, 3 fuckings days after 50F weather. This prevented me from travelling up to Fridley for my daily commute.
I go to hop in the shower… and guess what? NO HOT WATER. The circuit was tripped… which I flipped back on. Luckily, since I was now stuck at home… I could get away with not having a shower. I still wanted one. 2 hours later, the hot water didn’t return. I reset the water heater. Still no hot water.
Then I find out that my VPN connection to the client is hosing their bandwidth and I get nothing done for the day. Frustrating.
This morning? No hot water still… the work order is in to have someone come out and check on it, but man… not having a hot shower since Saturday evening is really playing mental games with me.
Then the drive this morning (ps, after a cold shower and a half hour of scraping and digging to get to my car) sucked. There’s nothing more annoying than being stuck in traffic between two females who think that their makeup application is more important than traffic flowing smoothly. An hour later, I arrive at my destination… I check my feedreader… and find out that I’m that guy.
Cold, no hot shower, long lines of traffic, frustrating VPN connections, snow… I need to get away.
Someone cheer me up.
