Got to somehow manage to complete the arrangement for two songs and the lyrics for another three before band practice in less than an hour.

This is gonna be great. </irony>

I'm having a great laugh at myself...

I woke up in a bad mood, not wanting anything but keep on sleeping... As my head bobbed sideways in my lazyness, I turned on the computer and checked my mail. A friend of mine sent me a link...

TO THIS!!!

I'm such a sucker, I know, but my drowsiness just flew away!

Woke up, rotated tires, put on khakis and a button up shirt, and drove 80 miles for a job interview. Spent an hour and a half at the place, and drove back home. I hope I get the job, because that's a lot of fuel for one day, especially for one task.

CAD detailing for a parts catalog, and likely picking wire colors for schematics. The guy says he'll let me know by Monday, since his boss is in Vegas for the week.

I didn't realize there were so many different ways to clean a sewer pipe before I toured the plant.

Well well well... I just found out that I used to live in the 3rd highest income (per median household) county in the USA, and that most of Northern Virginia and the DC metro area makes up the top 25 counties list. Take THAT, New York and California, and your stupid redonk taxes! We get to keep our income here, baby!

My friend gave me the best damn weather website I've seen yet.

http://www.thefuckingweather.com

Instead of a series of complex graphics surrounded by useless advertisements, it sums up your current weather to two lines of 48 point text. Just be ready for a little profanity, though.

That weather site fails for not using metric.

Check the "I WANT FUCKING CELSIUS" button. It's there, under the zip/city field.

I just came back from saying my last farewell to a teacher from my time in elementary school. She talked to all the people who were present in a calm voice. "There is no need to grieve my death. I have had a long and difficult life, that's true, but I leave after planting hundreds of seeds for our future. All that is left is for those newer little seeds to sprout and flourish. To those that already have, plant your own."

She then asked all of us in the sweetest way her tired voice allowed her to let her close her eyes to see her final dream as her life entered its final hours. And indeed, four hours later, she died in her sleep. Calm and surrounded by the people who were her family, friends and former pupils.

She was the one who taught me how to divide, multiply and calculate my first square root with only a paper and a pencil, she taught me that there are little organisms that decompose dead matter and that everything we touch is made of tiny little things called molecules that are in turn made up of even tinier things called atoms.

So, the tear I shed now is not one of sadness. It is a tear of pride in remembering the first teacher outside of my immediate family that guided my interest for the natural world and its wonders into science, not television and gossip rags.

Daylight Savings Time is in effect in my country starting today. DAMN IT! This piece of shit should have been abolished decades ago.
