Worst. Birthday. Ever.

Holy shit today sucks.

I'm 27 today. I'm slowly approaching the inevitable state of mind that is Getting Old. I wake up at 6:30 to go to work after being asleep for a meager 5 hours. I hate that shit. I was watching TV last night and without even realizing it, it was already 11:30 and I had to put my bedding back together. I got new bedding from my parents for Christmas and after spending some time getting it ready, I was finally able to put it on my bed.

New pillows, too. They were about a cock-hair too big for the pillow slips that came with the rest of the bedding, so this made the pillows friggin' huge. Needless to say, after staring at the ceiling for almost an hour and a half, I got up and got my old pillow. After that, I was asleep in about 5 seconds flat.

So I get to work and find that there's next to nothing to do. It's still Christmas holidays and hardly anybody's in. I have two users and they're both doing fine. With that in mind, I decided to start building a sandbox environment for one of our applications. Halfway through the install, I ran into problems and had to open a ticket with the vendor to get their help. Right away, they called me back and we started going through it. At one point he said he was going to speak to one of the developers and get back to me in five minutes. That was two hours ago.

So now I'm sitting here with nothing to do, thinking about how I'm going to celebrate this "momentous" day in the history of Dave. One of my roommates is working tonight and the other one is a no-show after saying he was going to be home last night from Saskatchewan. Looks like I'm going to be spending the night in front of the TV again. Maybe I'll get a pizza...

I ordered Star Trek: The Next Generation from Amazon the other day. All seven seasons on DVD in one box set. Cost me $650. I looked around other online retailers and found this to be the cheapest by far. Chapters Indigo has it on for $825 and Future Shop has it for $900. I even posted this fact on Future Shop's comment section, although they preview all of their comment submissions before posting them. Something tells me this one isn't going to make it. Suckers.

It should either come tomorrow or next week, depending on how fast Canada Post is this week. I hope it comes tomorrow. I have a four-day weekend over New Years and that would be a perfect time to lose myself. At the very least, it's a great excuse to not put on pants for more than half a week.

Hold on, lemme check Canada Post...nope. Still in Mississauga. Oh well, doesn't look like it's going to happen in time for the weekend.

Story of my life.
