Long Day

Want to buy something that really sucks?  Amazon is having a sale on many of their vacuum cleaners.  Since I don't own one (I've been borrowing a friend's) I decided it was a good time to order.  I'd wanted one that didn't have a bag, so I chose this model.  Since it's over $99 (by 99 cents) there's free shipping, and by using the code "AMZNTENPRCNT" you save another ten bucks.  That makes it quite reasonable, considering the bag-less variety usually sell for much more than the 89.99 this will cost me.

Tuesday is always a long day for me, because I have class for three hours after work.  I wind up being in this building from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. only to find myself back here Wednesday morning again at 8:00.  Maybe I should just install a cot in my office.  I could probaby sleep under my desk if I brought in a sleeping bag and pillow...

I spent much of this morning buying hardware (not computers, think drill bits and gaskets) only to realize that one of the pieces won't fit the drill I borrowed.  I guess I'll be going back to Ace hardware tomorrow to exchange that.

My root-canaled tooth has been bothering me all day, despite my frequent doses of Acetaminophen.  I think it's time to upgrade to morphine.

On a positive note, I've got at least one person interested in the internship position we're going to have next year.  The Cooperative Education office is handling all the administrative work with the applications, all I have to do is choose those I'd like to interview from the resumes they send me, and then select the one I'd like to hire.  That makes it much easier...
