Main complaints of the morning:
I am in possession of 2 volumes of a mint condition course packet (more like a course tome) for a class I was going to take. I was supposed to pay $60 for them, but I haven't handed in a check yet. I emailed the professor asking if it was possible to return them since I was dropping out of the class. He never responded, so I decided to show up and catch him after the class and either give him the books or grudgingly write a check. I get to the classroom a bit before the class ends, and no one's there. There's a sign on the door saying "GOVT-XXX moved to XXX classroom" (Am I supposed to memorize the numbers of my classes? I have a hard enough time figuring out what they're about!) Anyway, I decide I'll give the other classroom a try and run down there, to find a professor (who is NOT mine) chatting with one other student. Hmm. This class only meets once a week, I don't believe the professor holds office hours, so...that was his last chance to get his $60 books back. Well, if he doesn't want them...

#2: I look up the time of my neuro appt tomorrow morning: 11:30, not bad, right? Well, then I got to WMATA to find out what time I have to catch the bus to catch the metro to catch the bus to walk to the office. The latest I can get the metro is 9:15, because the buses between the metro station and anywhere-near-his-office stop running way fucking early!! So I have to get to the doctor's office an hour and a half early, gd. I'm a little ticked at that one. First of all, it wastes an hour and a half of my time. Second of all, I'm just going to feel stupid sitting in the waiting room for that long. JC, why did they make my appt then? I asked for morning, those fuckers! (Then I checked if it was at least late enough that I could catch a bus back when they started running again in the afternoon, instead of the usual cab I have to take back to the station for $25, which SUCKS ASS, but no, they don't start again until 1:15, and I AM NOT sitting around for another hour or so after the appt after already doing that before it. sheeeit, man.)
