My Tuesdays and Thursdays tend to suck. An 8:00
am lab, where I forget to check if the probe was
set properly on the oscilloscope, is a great
start to the day. Actually, the great start begins
earlier, when I have to haul my tired ass out of
bed at 6:30. The lab sucks though, because I'll
be damned if I can remember to set the scope probe
to x1 instead of x10, and neither can I look at
the op amp pin out, so we get the pins on the
right side wrong and fry a couple of chips. Let
the smoke out, so to say. All our
measurements were off by a factor of ten, and I
didn't notice because that was still in the swing
range of the op amp. Doh.
It's always nice to follow up a lab with a nice
rousing read in the library, a circuits
assignment, and Shift. Follow that with 15 minutes
of technical writing, 15 minutes instead of an
hour and a half, because the instructor is sick
and only wants to stay long enough to tell us what
the next assignment is. So back to the library for
more Canadian Studies reading. Fun fun, and then
CNST itself.
It's 5:40 by the time I leave. I walked to school in the dark, and I walk home in the dark. My life exists in the dark. Home to a fight, because nobody wants to use
the phone to call for pizza. Bad moods all
around. A stress basket and a slack ass.
So yeah, that's my boring day.
And oh yeah, I used "your" where I should have used "you're" in a node title, and I got my ass voted down.
