I am SO freaking tired. We didn't put the SPFH to bed until almost 2. Mondays suck anyway because they're so damned long (usually 12 hours, minimum), and having to be in the newsroom--as much as I love the people there, it's not exactly comfortable--that long sucks twice as much.
To top it all off, when I got home, I spent a little time unwinding so I could sleep, instead of going straight to bed. Good thing, because my building's fire alarm decided to go off. For an hour. No sign of smoke or flames, so I just stuck earplugs in and tried to ignore it until they came to fix it. The alarm here has generally been busted for a while anyway--it's done the false alarm thing twice before that I know of. It's annoying, because eventually, people are going to stop caring when it goes off, and some poor schmuck is going to get roasted during a real fire.
Seminar class today. We have reading notes and "participation notes" due each week. I actually like our textbook, so I wrote four pages of summary and analysis just on chapter 1. I wonder if that will count for or against me.
Yours truly went ubergeek yesterday. In my advanced reporting class, we're studying a "news package" from the Miami Herald. Unfortunately, the link to the Flash/multimedia site for it was busted, so we were just using links to the stories, and didn't have the whole thing to look at. I discovered what was wrong (ftp instead of http in the link) and got us to the right site, then e-mailed the webmaster at the Herald to tell him that and several internal links within the Flash site itself were busted. He's in the process of fixing them now. Heh. My hours spent sitting on my ass in front of a computer haven't been a waste after all. ;)
