Friday morning randomocity

So, I was stretched out on the couch last night, watching TV, when bam! The lights went out.

I thought it was a power outage until I noticed that my air conditioner was still running. Open the breaker box--tripped breaker. Problem is, I can't untrip it--I try to turn it on or off and it just flips back to the middle position. Not good.

Last time this happened it was because of an exposed wire in the ceiling fan in the living room. I suspect that's the culprit this time, too.

Usually I can get stuff fixed here in a day or so, but the last time I reported an issue I had to deal with someone who apparently didn't know what she was doing and tried to cover her ass by lying about it. Drives me crazy. If you are new to a job and you don't know how to do something you should ask somebody, instead of telling people you are taking care of whatever and then not doing anything about it, because you don't want to admit you don't know what you are doing.

Here's a hint--when I ask you to do something and you say you'll do it, if you don't do it I will notice.  And I'll let you know that I noticed. Or let your boss know. I'm not going to just let it go.

Sorry about that. I do go on and on about stuff that gets on my nerves, and I just can't let things go. It's not something I'm proud of, but it's also something that's kept me from repeating mistakes. I just don't forgive and forget. I may do the first part, but I don't do the second. I can't. I've tried.

Fortunately, the air conditioner is still working, and the lights in the back part of my apartment work, along with everything else (like the computer I'm using now). So, there are some things I can do.

Poor Atari, I believe, thinks he's done something wrong and I'm mad at him--he's following me everywhere I go. It won't help that I have to shut him up in the bedroom in the off chance the maintenance people should get the work order today. I mean, Atari's going to spend the whole day sleeping in the bedroom anyway, but when I close that door it seems to really bug him. I guess I'd feel the same way--there's a difference between not wanting to leave and being unable to leave.

If anybody's curious, spec script for Mythophobia is coming along. I'm maybe halfway through it. Still got some people to kill off. Things are just about to get frantic again, after a little time to cool off.

And I'm still pretty pleased with my newest tune, "Inside." It turned out almost exactly like I wanted it to. If you haven't heard it you can go here and click it to listen. It's the first song on the list. Feel free to listen to the others while you're there, too. Got some other new stuff and some stuff that's a couple of years old there. Let me know what you think!
