Tweets for Today

09:00 Will hopefully get a decision today re: class. "Should I stay, or should I go?" #
09:02 Correction: as of right now, only Jim Lehrer is stalking me via Twitter, not Neal Conan or the spirit of Tim Russert. #
11:54 Looks like I’m in!! #
15:38 Less stress about class + Decreased caffeine intake = Kinder, gentler Don. At least until the next thing ticks me off… #

12:37 Reinventing the wheel at work. Again. #
15:14 Finally, finally, FINALLY sent a story out again! Almost forgot what that felt like. #
18:14 Jonesing for caffeine like a junkie from a ’70s blaxploitation movie. #
20:36 Staring at my latest editing project. Just staring… #
21:59 Following The News Hour, Meet the Press, and Talk of the Nation here on Twitter. Two of the three are following me. Why? #

18:42 @ammichaels My goal for the week is cutting back the caffeine intake. Don’t think I’ll go as far as decaf, though 🙂 #
18:45 Gonna ship out a story tomorrow. Well, maybe Tuesday after I look at it one more time. No, dammit–tomorrow! Maybe… #

08:45 Finally got FF reinstalled. Lost all my local bookmarks though–not like I used them much anymore, anyway. #
15:53 No longer feeling the need to rip out anyone’s jugular 😉 #
18:40 I think I’ve finally reverted back to Bruce Banner, now… #
19:14 I recommend editing to the music of Return to Forever. #

17:47 Feeling ’bout half past dead. #
17:48 Finished one editing pass on a project. Just one more and it’ll be ready to get shipped out and get rejected!!! #
17:50 Now if I can just figure out why the hell FF crashes on startup!! #
21:39 Spent the majority of my Fri. nite waiting for things I shouldn’t have been fucking waiting for!! #
21:39 And now I’m gonna take it out on someone thru a customer service survey. #
21:40 "I don’t wanna hear shit, and I don’t give a shit." -Ricky Roma, GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS #
21:40 Just my way of "paying it forward." 😉 #

12:07 Day 2 of class–things look a bit more promising since the herd seems to have thinned itself a bit. #
12:07 Might have to just eat the cost of the book, though 🙁 #
13:37 In any case–tonight, there will be writing. I mean, *editing*. Whatever. #
15:40 @GigiVernon "I’m not gonna post anything," she said. I knew it ;). #
19:46 WTF? Since when does Firefox repeatedly crash on startup??? #
21:43 Running a total virus/malware/bot check on the laptop after un-/re-/un-/re-installing FF. #
21:46 Thank God I’ve got a second laptop. Runs like crap, but it runs. #

09:04 About to pull a "Spicoli" on my class–sans pizza. #
12:33 I’m, uh, not *not* in the class I’m taking… #
18:07 Gonna have to pull a Spicoli next session, too, it seems. Again, sans pizza. #

07:35 As usual, I’m going to spend Labor Day laboring. #
14:22 Adjusting to the new schedule…which is really my old schedule of 2 years ago. Sort of. #
18:09 Ain’t no sweet sounds coming down on this night shift 🙁 #

09:49 Plan C: Go to the classroom and drop some names (sanctioned by the person whose name I’m going to drop)! #
10:14 Because–and I’m being non-snarky, here–this is all about working the system! #
10:14 I’m all about working the system. Guess that makes me part of The Problem :). #
10:29 Unrelated Lesson of the Day: Honesty can get you a 20% discount at the campus bookstore! #
13:14 Unrelated Lesson of the Day 2: The discount doesn’t apply to textbooks, clothing, or computer stuff. Motherf… #
22:19 Trying to remember the last time I paid over $100 for a book… #

10:40 Lemme get this straight: fall exmu registration begins…on the day classes start?? #
