- Well, I got in late to work because I blew out a tire on someone`s
- socket wrench lying in the road. We were supposed to get out at 11:30
- for a party. I got to work at 11:15. So, I went and did work. The
- boss asks me to help him at 2:30 and the guys who normally carpool
- are playing some kind of destroyer game on their sparcstations that
- not only trashes imaginary planes, but trashes the network for real.
- The boss was understanding, but it did not do much for me in the
- brownie point department when he threw his hands in the air (no amputation-
- so don't get ideas about machetes) and decided not to deal with it this
- week.

- Double Peeve: Sometimes I have dreams that predict things that really
- happen. It always gives me a fierce case of the willies. I had a dream
- a week ago that a big piece of metal was going to tear a hole in my
- tire. Then it happened. Now I am not going to get any sleep because
- I won't want to dream about the next earthquake...
-
- !Peeve: I got a new sweater. Its very cute. It is a cute, femmy sweater
- that is also a note to the world that I am a nerd. The sweater has
- cute little racoons on it. Racoons are nerds of the animal world.
- They stay up all night, have dark circles around their eyes, and eat
- garbage. Yup, that's me all right. I also wash my food before I eat
- it.
