its all bush's fault

it's all bush's fault that i was late to work today. if i hadn't gotten so sucked into his speech about his nominee for the supreme court, i would have left on time. its not because it was a good speech. it was just because i wanted to know who the heck this lady was. as i told sheri, he nominated the white house general council. ie- oliver platt. everything i know about the government, i learned from west wing. i am applying these lessons to commander in chief. yes, i love the shows about the white house, while loathing all crime and law shows. i guess i'm a political groupie on some bizarre level.

so, i was about ten minutes late, because i decided to walk down to the farther subway stop in an effort to get some excercise. i'm too stupid in the morning to realize that if i left late, walking to the next subway stop wasn't the smartest decision i could have made.

the extra time did allow me to realize that all the rock star: inxs stuff i put in my latest playlist is recorded at about half the volume of normal songs, so when 'wordplay' came on after 'trees,' i thought i was going to blow my eardrums out. i blame freaking msn and not allowing me to download the actual tracks because i'm on a mac. this is mac-ism, people. i only got the tracks for free because i had no choice. i would have happily paid for the darn songs.

why is that that every freaking morning i walk in to a message on my voicemail? i was only ten minutes late, people. who needs to call me at 8 am? shouldn't everyone in this office be home watching the today show and eating breakfast like i am at 8 am?
