"Alabama Motel Room" by Matthew Good Band

Wednesday: Yesterday was a horrible mess. It seemed as if the day just exponentially kept getting worse. When I came into work in the afternoon I printed the notes I needed to read, since I didn’t get much reading done while I was home. I really need to invest in Kindle, so I don’t have to rely on being at school to print out my readings. Not that I don’t own a printer at home, I just don’t want to waste paper when I can print at school. I did as much reading as I could and fought off falling asleep. On Friday I had drama in the lab. A grad student that comes in apparently has a deal with a co worker where she can stay here late and do her work after the lab closes. She is trusted to do so and I don’t know how long this has been going on. I was never told of such an agreement, so when I was in charge of closing the lab I asked her to leave. She bitched and moaned about how she normally is allowed to stay and I apologized, I wasn’t told that she was allowed this. I just didn’t’ appreciate the comment she made about how she is a grad student and takes her work very seriously. It made me feel as if all the work I have done or do doesn’t mean anything since I’m not a grad student. I wrote Milly and Shelain about it and they both said I did the right thing. I told Rico about it and he discussed things with the girl. When she apologized to me she gave me a really half ass apology as well saying she was sorry and then saying how she felt she didn’t give me any attitude…

This should have been a sign to me of how crap the day was going to turn out. I went to go see Dr. Lanzone to ask her about discounts since I’m staff and we got caught up in a conversation. I left early since I had class at 3:35 but time started to fly by and I told her that I had to get to class before I was locked out. I ran to class and was a minute late. The door was closed, but I still walked in and found everyone taking the quiz. I said hi to Anna and she pointed out that the door was closed. I asked her if she wanted me to leave and she agreed and made a turn around and leave motion with her index finger and I did that. I went back to the office and told Shelain and she was just shocked that that happened. I mentioned that I was thinking of emailing her but she said only to do that if I am going to say sorry and it won’t happen again. I don’t know why she doesn’t want me to mention that I was talking to Dr. Lanzone. I’ll have to ask her when I see her in a few.
