Today was a hellacious day at work--a Monday workload on the first day without the now-ex-coworker I was hired to replace, new software crashing repeatedly during morning hours of peak activity, and more copies and volumes of Income Tax Regulations than I ever, ever want to see again. Plus, a meeting! Just to make things extra-exciting. Long before I staggered out of work (on the way to a group homework meeting, and sans any packed dinner) the words looping through my head were take. my own. life.
But when I got to the Green Line, I found Strange waiting on the platform, so we could ride home together. After a brief commiseration over our terrible, awful Mondays (and Strange's recap of whybrooklinegirl's was even worse than mine, as my terrible, awful Monday did not admit of any LJ reading) we each turned on our iPod. The second track up on mine was one I just ripped Sunday--"I'm Just a Bill" off Schoolhouse Rock Rocks!, by Deluxx Folk Implosion. Strange sat and laughed at me while I was instantly transformed from post-work zombie to manic chair-dancer, complete with gesticulation and random lip-syncing.
I made it to the library for my group meeting earlier enough to buy an energy bar and Rice Krispie treat before I went up to find my group. And since I recently acquired PowerPoint, I was appointed secretary, and managed to herd the group through this week's presentation in about an hour. Even after the project-planning part of the session, we were done by 8:15. More iPod-age on the way back to my car, which, okay, I had to park at the top of the dark scary hill--but no worries! I have conquered the bus system. I can do without my car for days on end now.
And when I got home? I had PACKAGES. And in those packages there were PRESENTS! Entirely random happy-Monday presents fromfairmer and qe2 (and one of them appears, by the looks of the package log, to have arrived 12 days ago--I'm sorry, I swear I didn't know it was there). Thank you! Now I have new books and new CDs! And my Monday is all bright and shiny! YAY!
