Murhpy's Law... Or something like that...

I'm working on a paper that's due tomorrow. Technically today but I had to bug out of class to deal with the heat folks - my thermostat (or something died) and my instructor gave me until tomorrow to get it in. Which is good because I have one particular problem that is kicking my booty. I spent most of the day working the problem, waking away in frustration to do some work only to sit back down and try my hand at the problem again.

A little while ago I got a call from the heat guy to let me know he was on his way. I started to tell him what was going on and I walked up to the thermostat - and low and behold it was working again. Mind you it's 75 degrees outside today (which hit us out of the blue) and I don't really need the heat, tomorrow it's supposed to be cold again. So I told him to come out anyway and see if he can figure out what is going on. While he was running his diagnostics I continued to work on my problem and shouted... "GOT IT!" when I finally figured out the answer. This was around the time the heat guy came in to tell me he can't find anything wrong. So I wrote out a check for 75.00 (With a promise from him, if I have to call him out again tomorrow because it died again that they wouldn't charge me 75.00 again) when my computer decided to reboot itself after auto installing some window updates. Uh huh... Lost the problem and am now in the process of recreating it. Thankfully it was still pretty fresh in my memory but still!

This is my life. Welcome to my world.

And I wonder why it is I can never seem to get anything accomplished!!!
