Oh how the hours go by

What Angers Me In Life:
1. Comcast
2. The DMV

In total, I have wasted 8 hours of my life dealing with Comcast and 7.5 hours of my life at the Virginia DMV. Never again will I see those hours. They aren't refunded to me at the end of my lifetime, like taxes during the Bush administration. That's 895 minutes vanished, poof, like Keyser Soze.

But I shall not dwell on the shallow, insignificant things in life like the crooks at Comcast or the Slowskys at the DMV. After all, I'm living the fabulous life of a business school student. So far, I've spent 4.5 hours in a classroom and about 6 hours in a bar with my fellow students. I think that's a pretty good balance. Thank goodness I have a 15 minute walk to the train station or those empty beer calories are gonna go straight to the squishy places that I so desperately try to disguise with clever clothing, accessories and mental pictures of me at the gym.

Although there are more stories to be told, my Stephanie Plum book is calling to me. Plus, I spent all morning traipsing through the District with my study group on a scavenger hunt, trying to ascertain the official song of DC and its author. Of the many strangers we consulted, three of them told us it was, All Hail the Redskins. What a town.

Correction: I got the song title wrong. It's actually Hail to the Redskins. Thanks, Marg. Too bad about that 41-0 lovefest with the Pats over the weekend.
