I'm A Different Man Than I Was Yesterday...

And, not in that continued personal growth sense... well, sort of...

It is really sort of amazing, yesterday I was designing a WWDB t-shirt, "What Would Buder Do?" (look for it at http://www.cafepress.com/rys4k) just in an attempt to kill a little time with a lazy Sunday, like so many that'd come before. Today, i'm a madman, running around from here to there, yelling and crumbling maps, cursing buildings for not being more clearly labeled, etc...

Today was in part exactly what I expected, and in part the sort of mindfuck you find in sci-fi movies. Both of my classes were your classic first day introduction, take attendance, make sure you're in the right place, and then here's a breakdown of what we'll be achieving in our time together. Pretty straight and narrow...

Actually wanted to jump back a moment before I got to the more surprising part of my day. Arrived nice and early, had to stop for gas and smokes this morning, but made it on the highway at about 5 till 9. My estimate was pretty accurate, 15-20 minutes until downtown, and to the main lot at CSU itself. Was flagged down at that point by the gentleman guarding the lot, who wasn't all that helpful. He first of course informed me I couldn't park there, then I told him that i'd purchased my parking pass last evening online, and I wondered if he had any sort of list with my name on it. Negative, nor could he provide me with the information in where I might be able to procure my tag before class, so I might actually be able to park in the lot. So, i end up driving for a good 20 minutes, trying to track down somewhere to leave the buick for all of 4 hours. Well, street parking is only 2 hours, and I didn't believe that i'd have time to get out to the meter between classes. I of course don't have my student ID yet, which would've allowed me to park in the cash lots for 2 dollars, and to make matters even worse, I had a single dollar in my wallet, and some change in the opposing pocket. I eventually found a cash lot, that didn't require my personal CSU ID, on Prospect and 14th... which for reference is about 8 blocks away, diagonally...

That's where i'll leave off at the moment, cause Lou finished with the client he was with, and i'mma go verbalize all this.

Either way, talk to you all a lil later on.
