Brrr stupid rain
Nov. 2nd, 2004 10:06 am-0: Today's weather: absolutely craptastic. Cold, windy, and rainy. The sort of rain we do not often get in Seattle and thereabouts, and the exact sort of rain that gets your socks wet because you can't avoid any of the large puddles forming on the roads when you're crossing the street and such.
-0.5: And because my socks are wet, my feet are still cold. And it's cold in this lab. Brrr.
-1: Missed my 7:30 of the 522 on the way in this morning, and therefore got to work later than I wanted. Bah. But I did get here.
+/2: The question will be, however, how long I'll be here today before I'll need to take off and go vote. I'll have to alter my afternoon bus schedule to swing over to where I need to be, cast my vote, then get on another bus to get home. Anybody in Seattle-land got any stories to tell about what the polling places hereabouts are looking like today?
-3: (Inserted in 12:49pm) Oh yes, I forgot: no iPod for me today because the stupid battery has decided to start acting up again. Tried to go ahead and drain it last night by playing it as much as I could, then letting it sit till it decided it actually had more power, and then draining it again. But I forgot to plug it into its charger cradle before I went to bed, so no music for me today. (Not like I can't actually reconstruct practically every single Great Big Sea song there is chord by chord in my brain, but hey, there's a PRINCIPLE here.)
