When we got there, nobody had a laptop, so they didn't need me anyway. I sat there for almost two hours doing absolutely nothing because people just can't seem to be organized. Don't they know that drives me NUTS?! Not like I have a ton of stuff to do here in my office, but I certainly would have been happier NOT sitting at the dorm all damn morning.
Last night was trivia night. Buuut we got bored because the questions were hard, we were sucking, and the DJ is probably the most annoying person I've ever met since I parted company with this asshole named John Bauer. (I've known very few 100% annoying people in my life: John Bailey, John Bauer, and now this DJ.)
Patience for people is a quality I lack.
Anyway, we decided to blow that joint and go play board games at my house. We played Scene It and Lila and I kicked some ass. Everybody was like, "You've played this before! You know all the answers." Right. Because you really need to have seen a question before to know the answer.
Nobody could possibly know that "Giant Father" is a synonym for the movie "Big Daddy" unless they have played the game many, many times before. Also, you need to memorize answers to questions in order to win. There is no possible other explanation for how I knew the answers.
Oh, except that I'm a Netflix fiend and I've seen almost every movie ever made. And also, I'm not dumb. Giant = Big, Father = Daddy ... Big Daddy, hey that's the name of a movie! Is that the correct answer? I think so! I should yell it aloud! (Those are the thoughts that went through my head while everyone else was apparently sitting on their thumbs.)
I wish more people liked Trivial Pursuit... now there's a game! (Risk is also pretty kickass.)
I met with the Ecology graduate program a few times to plan their new website... and NOW the director feels like we need to meet "in person" to discuss any fucking little thing. I got an email from him, "Can we make some time to get together? I have some site changes I want to discuss." Great. He probably wants to un-bold a heading somewhere and needs to meet me IN PERSON to DISCUSS it. God I hate people who aren't tech-savvy.
I'm angsty today. That's probably because a) I haven't been laid in way too long, b) I'm excited to move to China and I'm getting frustrated with my boring every-day life until then, and c) I had to help my least favorite co-worker in that failed attempt this morning.
I left a game of Rise of Nations unfinished last night and exited for trivia night as I was about to nuke the Persians. Persian assholes... they have elephant warriors, I have nukes. When I get home, those Persians are TOAST.
I've been watching Planet Earth, the BBC documentary series. Holy cow! Last night, guys were jumping into open-hole caves with parachutes! It was amazing. I love caves, when I was younger I wanted to be a spelunker when I grew up.
Ok, I'm going to go home early... I don't want to be here today. :)
