life things

Woke up this morning at 7:30 to a sweltering room, a rainstorm outside, and my clock flashing 2:20am.

The power had gone out, I didn't have another clock anywhere and my phone was in my car so I had to turn my computer on to make sure I wasn't late for school. It turns out I woke up a half hour before my alarm was set to go off, sometimes I genuinely love my internal clock for saving me from power outages and alarms that wouldn't have gone off (most of the time I curse it for waking me up before I actually need to wake up.)

As for the sweltering hot bedroom: evidently my inept roommate turned on the heating without so much as mentioning it to anyone else in the house. And he turned the bloody thing on to 70º. So I had to get out of bed and turn it off. Also, it was making this bizarre high pitched whine, I don;t know if I should be scared that the thing will explode or what. It wasn't even that cold out last night, 50º maybe, not worth the heating bills.

Then, when I came home today, the same roommate informed me that the internet was down. He said he'd reset the modem a couple times to no effect. So I asked if he had called. His response was a blank look. Evidently, the fact that the dsl bill was sitting RIGHT NEXT TO THE PHONE did nothing to help him figure out who the fuck he should have called. The boy clearly has no idea how to do things on his own. I have no clue how he's managed to keep a job seeing as how he's completely incapable of independent thought. I really dislike him sometimes.
