In which I am a rockstar.

This morning I ran into a friendly acquaintance on the bus (as opposed to the kind that inspire you to hide like you're in 8th grade). We met at a party and see each other sometimes on the way to work or at the grocery store. We were having a nice chat, as we generally do, when we reached the redline stop. I was running a bit late, as per usual, so when I reached the top of the stairs and saw the train sitting with its doors open, I rushed for it. I was very surprised to see that there was no one in it. I briefly wondered if I was really that late, then heard the woman I had walked up with say "you're going north?" I spun around and tried to stop the doors, but just ended up with my hand caught in between, waving futilely as we pulled away.

News of the Annoying

I have stupid webmail at work. I've tried to avoid the webmail issues by using Thunderbird, but since it's still routed through the webmail servers, I still get screwed sometimes. I have a 1M mailbox (gmail has spoiled me), which is currently full. I like to imagine it as an inbox on my desk, piled with crap so high that the stack towers over my monitor. Except that the email version of this inbox not only freaks out when I try to put something else in it, but also when I try to take something out. It won't let me get new mail because my disk is full. It also won't let me delete old mail because my disk is full.
