Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable

The past couple days have involved more death and destruction than I care for.
Yesterday at work (Verizon customer service), my first call was from a woman whose husband had passed away, and she needed to have his phone line disconnected. Halfway through our discussion, my computer started going crazy. I couldn't access any information or make any changes to her account. I had to transfer her to a different center. Turns out our servers are in Cedar Rapids Iowa, which is currently experiencing record flooding, and they are basically underwater. After a few hours, they sent most of us home. I got paid to be bored out of my mind for a while though.
That evening, I jogged to the track on campus so I could do a couple of repeats. When I got there, the track was gone. It was reduced to a gaping hole in the ground and a huge pile of rubble. They've been planning to rebuild the athletic stadium, and I guess they've started.
Later that night, I took my cat out for a walk. After a couple hours, he started drooling profusely, which can be a symptom of a serious problem. This morning he was still dripping like a faucet, so I called into work and took him to the vet. The lobby was depressing as fuck. There was a couple with a dog waiting to be euthanized, and another dog miscarried in the lobby. A morning that involves aborted puppy fetuses is not a good one.
On the plus side, my cat is probably going to be fine, and because he struggled too much when they tried to look in his mouth, he has now been doped up with mild opiates and sedatives, which is rather entertaining.
This trend of things around me dying or being destroyed is a bit worrisome, though.

I went to take the test to get my permit, I never got it and have to take the test anyway so why not, and I do not know the rules of the road apparently.

I am alternately appalled by and appreciative of the fact that some people will think you are cool if you go about every day living like no one wants to talk to you.
What up, humanity?

I never said I was enthusiastic about winding up with mono. I just said that makeouts were nice! It's the stuff that happened after said makeouts that was shitty.
I forgot to mention why we broke up after only 5 days. She didn't want me to hang out with my friends anymore, because we play VTM and Werewolf: The Apocalypse and other shit, and "that's just too nerdy". I thought she was joking, but she wasn't. Hell, at least my friends don't go around town every other day (not even kidding) looking for people to fight.
