Work, scheduling, graduation
Was woken up this morning by a phone call from work asking me if I would be able to participate in the special e-mail project if the training class were different than the initial layout: 4-7 on Monday, rather than the whole week. I was overjoyed and said that this would indeed work.
Then I looked at the clock. Past ten. Holy fuckeroni. I skidded out the door heading for school to meet with the Dean to get all my shiznit together for scheduling next tri. The session closed at eleven, and I needed to be back home at 11:30 for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yaksha42 to have his friend (Matt) pick us up to go to graduation.
Got to school. Deserted. Turned out to be next Friday.
Skidded back home.yaksha42's brother is here now. They came over and grabbed me and we waited for his friend to show up, then we drove to the graduation at the Sun Dome.
It was in keeping with the theme of the day that the belt running the radiator and the power steering snapped, so not only was Matt having hard times controlling the car, it was overheating. We got to the Sundome barely OK, with the thermostat redlined, and Yakky's brother took a look at it. Radiator fluid all over the place.
Went to graduation. Stayed seated for the national anthem. Stayed seated for the (blatantly, loudly Christian) invocation. Clapped and cheered for people. Clapped and cheered when nRon was introduced. (Recommended toyaksha42 that he take a class with nRon if at all possible). Clapped when yaksha42 graduated. Clapped until my hands hurt when ralmathon graduated. Met ralmathon's dad, and introduced myself with name and hometown, which is how Alaskans greet each other. Saw other familar faces graduating, such as digitalambience's brother Pestilence.
Said hi to nRon, and Prof. Sheldon, and others I saw around.digitalambience was there, having cut his lovely curly red hair down to a buzzcut again, and I messed up his hair and gave his skinny ass a hug. (Boy doesn't get enough to eat, I swear.)
Was formally introduced toralmathon's parents, and introduced yaksha42 to nRon.
Waited around for several hours while Matt's family and Matt andyaksha42's brother did arcane things with the car. Mostly, it was sitting in the car and waiting for Matt's parents to come back with the spare parts. Got some reading in, and chatted about Alaska weather to Matt's grandmother. Amazing how fascinating the subject can be. I can hold forth on it quite well.
Got teased about me and Yakky being lovebirds. All we were doing was sitting close and holding hands while I was reading...
Matt evidently recognized me from when I used to be in the downstairs labs in the mornings with Darkside, giggling together over things. Evidently we giggled a lot, and it was a very cheerful thing for others to behold. I guess I have a habit of forming friendships where the bindings that hold close are visible from the outside even to the untrained...
Got dropped off here around seven, having left at noon.
What a day. WHAT a day.
