Oh the technology hates me!

Have you ever had one of those days where theres alot to get done, but luckily its not so bad cause you can multitask from your computer and get everything in? Thats what i thought when i went to bed last night. Waking up this morning though was a whole other story.
I woke up late, my alarm was set to go off at 6am but either didnt or i slept through it, which.. if id slept through it the alarm usually keeps ringing and it was not. so its 7am and im supposed to be in my car by 7 am. lol
One of my public speaking parners wanted to add something to a speech outline that we wanted to turn in thismorning at 1030am sharp. So she sends me a text message around midnight, and im asleep so i dont get it until now. I email her the outline and text her that it was sent. Around 1015 she asks if i can run and print it out since shes runing late, so i do, and of course the printer wasnt working so we had to change to another printer, and this made me one minute late for class, whice the prof counts you absent for; awesome.
Once all of that was over with we watned to work on our powerpoint presentation. So while they worked onthat I wanted to get a head start on making my bio graphs. I started up a computer but it wouldnt boot up, 25 min later it finally logged me in but said that there was some kind of scripting error and access was denied and it would not load my personal settings. I moved to another computer and everything was fine. There was a lab protocol I needed to finish, and a vocab test to make flash cards for, and then these freakin graphs. So I get on a computer in the independant study hall and start making graphs happen. I downloaded gnumeric since its the only program i know how to make graphs in and do all the manitpulations. and As im doing all that the computer crashes. Awesome.
I leave the Independant study hall and id missed a call from todd so i called him back as i walked over to the math and science center. We were catching up when the call gets dropped. At this point im a little edgy cause that never happens, none of this ever happens. lol. So i call him back and get a message saying hes out of the network. fuuuuuck. so i turn off my phone cause im just so done with it. I get to the math and science center and get that same error where it wony load my settings - which wouldnt be a big deal except the data for the graphs are online in an excell sheet that i need to open, and it will not allow me to do so. SO i talk to the tech there and we restart, and try again. same thing. so we move to a different machine and try again, same thing. then he sends me to the open computer lab.. also accross campus.
At the open lab, i get the same shit. i talk to the tech there and he wants me to restart. I tell him i just did and he wants me to do so anyways. so i do and the same shit happens. he goes "oh no your on the network, you just dont have any icons in your toolbar or start menu just go in through programs" and im lookin at him like no fucking shit! i can do that. i can use a computer but i cant get the info off the net like i need to. by now its 40 mins till class..so i just make flash cards and finish the protocol and was done with it. What a waste of my freakin time. Freakin technology... jeez!
