Twilight Zone Monday
August 2nd, 2004 byI shouldn’t have gotten out of bed this morning. From the moment I woke up the whole world was just a little bit askew. I knew it was going to a weird day.
Cereal. Couldn’t find a normal bowl so I had to use a giant mixing bowl. Drop the spoon and it’s finger fishing time in Cheerios soup. This is, of course, after I wake up with a start thinking that I slept through my morning meeting. With my body pumped full of adrenaline but my head still very much asleep, I grab my laptop and deliver an invoice to one of my clients. I haven’t sent an invoice to them (or anyone in a while), so I really need this money.
Anyway, I hadn’t missed my meeting, but by the time I was in my car on my way to the meeting I got a call saying it was cancelled. Ug. So I get back home to find out that someone else wants to reschedule another meeting in 15 minutes. So I turn back around and drive to that meeting, at the end of which I find out that my invoice won’t be processed until the middle of the month. Shit. I’m totally broke for the next two weeks.
On the way to that meeting I get a call from a third party wanting to meet tomorrow. So much for my plan to get work done this week. So I get home and I find out that BlueWorld Communications, the company that makes Lasso (my favorite programming language), has sold Lasso to some random company in Florida. F L O R I D A ! So my programming life is now uncertain, up in the air, and completely who knows what.
