Why I've Been Too Busy to Blog

An email I received at work this morning...

************************
Ms. Parrish
I looked at several PHI accounts both at 505 14th Street and 180 GRAND AV, besides the DSL account 510-663-**** disconnected on 07-15-05. None of the accounts has any notes indicating that either PHI or its agent ATN ever requested to disconnect BTN 510-663-**** until you called a few days ago. Nor do they have any notes referencing any request from ATN to move any PHI accounts. On BTN 510-663-**** itself there is a note dated 07-12-04 saying that agent ATN Pete called to review account. This is insufficient to justify an adjustment. You may want to contact ATN to see if they ever placed the disconnect order. If you find a proof of your request to disconnect 510-663-**** in August 2004, please contact our billing department at 800-505-5400.

This is my life...
Yes, I'd like fries with that.

Life After Math

Math is now exuding from every pore of my body. I just finished a 14-week math course squeezed into six weeks of summer. I crammed a disgusting and ridiculous amount of mathematical knowledge through my brain in that time in a seeming feat of wizardry and magic. I'm pretty much farting logarithms and crying exponents.

With all of these numbers floating around in my brain, I find myself making dumb and ridiculous calculations like:

Question: If I just bought a Costco-sized jug of Ibuprofin containing 720 tablets (which I did), how many tablets must I consume to use the entire bottle before it's expiration date of January 2007?
Answer: I must consume 40 tablets a month, or, 20 2-tab doses every 30 days in order to use all of the pills before they expire. [Insert Napoleon D. voice here - "Grossss."]

Most of all, I'm just happy to have my life back. After six weeks of putting off my friends and avoiding sunlight, I can now look forward to some of my old favorite passtimes...eating food that isn't crap I threw together in five minutes, sleeping for more than 5 hours at a time, sitting on my ass watching reruns of Friends, and going out on Tuesday nights and drinking way more than I should. Ahhh...free at last...

Until next time,
