After all the moaning I did yesterday about not hearing from Matt... He called last night from Guam! It was so nice to hear him well rested, even if he was bummed out by being on duty on his birthday.
Fencing was really good last night, we got to work with electrical scoring equipment for the first time last night, it was really fun. I've only done bouts before where it was on the honor ouch method of scorning, having the light and buzzer go off when you got a point was really nice. Lot less bruises that way.
Today, however.. Different story. I woke up exhausted AND late. Ooops. Anyway, I am rushing around the house getting ready, and I get something in my foot, like a sliver but I can't see it, so it might be a shard of glass. It hurts like heck, I spent quite a while trying to get it out and it still won't come out.
Then I tried hunting around for co-worker's phone numbers to let them know that I was going to be late, but couldn't find any of them, and my boss's boss's number came back as unreachable.... So I couldn't even call in sick if I wanted.
So I finish getting ready, catch the late, late bus and hobble into work. The sharp thing is still in my foot.
Then I check my voice mail, no call from tech support. I think somebody on Friday unplugged my network cable out of the hub in the wire room and I have been down on my other computer since then. Major pain in the arse. Anyway, I called them as I have every morming this week, and call them up and bitch at them for the 3rd day in a row about not hearing anything on the open ticket I have with them. So that got a promise from the phone guy that he would take it to his supervisor, who would call the person assigned the ticket and THEIR supervisor and get a response.
20 mins later, I get a call from cableling that they are sending someone out today.
As my boss says "The bitchy wheel gets the grease." My favorite saying in this case is "Crankiness gets results"
Now if I could just get this sliver out of my foot.
