closed on mondays

I get my ass outta bed on my day off, haul it down to the DMV, 6th circle of hell, and am greeted by the sign on the door that says "CLOSED ON MONDAYS". Just like it said on the website when I looked at it a dozen times, but I didn't see that part of course. It's going to be one of those days.

I will try to go to work and get that newsletter cracked out. I will try to work on this web job I got on the side. I will try.

Later on that day...oh, it gets better. I haul bike and ass to work up at U of M, cuz there's no shuttle from the metro as it's Spring Break. And there's a -25 wind chill or so. I get into work, and while the computer can boot up, there's no lights. I like need to read and type people! Grrr...perhaps I'll just stay at home tomorrow.

Even later...well, I got money shit taken care of today anyway. The financial transactions were finalized, so no auto loan on my ass now. Then I paid off some other shit, including my DC taxes and membership dues for the rugby team.

Yeah, yeah, I know I said my days were over, but the team can use support in the form of my membership dues, and perhaps I'll return in the fall once all my money, job and grad school stuff starts smoothing out. I've really been missing the opporunity to use my body for a purpose, rather than just keeping it in shape at the gym - which is starting to bore me. Plus, you don't get to tackle people at the gym either.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Do as I say, not as I do.

You know, there are PLENTY of other things you can use your body for other then working out and rugby.

I'm just sayin'. :)

Yeah, but I'm too stumpy for water polo, tennis is boring, soccer is too complicated, and the whole gay rodeo thing requires too many props. Plus, the legs are better in rugby.
