The Daily Antics of a Hopeless Meanderer

My Christmas "wishlist" includes books and... a tele-transporter.

Hmmm, if I were to wish for something that would be extremely useful at the moment... Who would have thought that the incoming 2006 MPH class would infringe on my daily routine so much? Darn them, the many enthusiastic students who care about the health and well-being of the general public. So many of them, in fact, that our building cannot accomodate everyone, and the problem even overflows into the parking lot, which last year was abundant in spaces. My minute by minute plan today was shot to "h", "e" double hockey sticks. Left Barnes at 10:58, which left two minutes to exit the building, 11 minutes to walk to my parking garage, 2 minutes to get to the stoplight on Euclid and Lindell (which is the 9 minute checkpoint to school), and three minutes to get into Salus Center, which then leaves me the "five minute" obligatory early arrival time. But yet today I spent those precious five minutes circling the parking lot which was creepily full and left me with a feeling of agitation over having to park on the street, which then leaves me wondering every other second if my car is currently being driven by a 38 year old, unlicensed, uninsured felon with a goatee, and severely frustrated that I pay 500 dollars a year to avoid such worries. :-(
