 Powerpoint sucks. SUCKS. So does Excel, but we all knew that. You'd think that just because they're both made by Microsoft that they would... oh, I don't know... be compatible and really easy to use together? Well, you'd be WRONG! Fucking PPT kept crashing on me every time I tried to put my graphs in. Oh, some of them worked fine, but others... Fucking temperamental @#$#$%$%^%^&%$^@#$@. Poor Harold got the brunt of my rage last night. Must remember to make it up to him.

Thank god I've gotten into the habit of setting the alarm on the cell. Almost woke up late for my errands because the power went out last night. Blech. Stupid thunderstorms.

This morning I made my third pact. J and I have decided to ditch the bike rides and concentrate on a new, more important project - getting me out of NB and getting her out of Newark. We're going to harrass each other until it's done. I got the undergrad secretary (I've already outlived two grad secretaries, although to be fair, neither stayed long because of the asshole director) promising to call me and yell at me if she doesn't see me there on my days off from work. She's a hoot, and actually, I'm a bit scared because she'll do it, too. And I've got another friend promising to come over and drag my ass out of bed every Tuesday and Friday, and smack me around if I don't get out of NB by the end of December. Umm... okay, maybe more like January. Mid-January. Yeah. That's it.

Ugh. Off to play with more PPT.
