I spent the morning at the Uptown Dunn Brothers my nose in my Ableton manual. I ordered Ableton last week, but it ships from from Berlin so I run the demo version on my school laptop.
When I came back to the apartment this afternoon to find a FexEx sticker on the front door of the building. Apparently Ableton arrived! The mailboxes for my apartment are tiny, so tomorrow includes an adventure to find the St. Paul FedEx facility…which might be a disaster…
After the dog walk, I jump in my car and try to head to school, but my neighborhood is gridlocked. There are no left hand turn signals to the highway onramp, and there is a fender-bender at the intersection I need to turn at.
So I cut someone off, bypass my regular on ramp, and decide to go through downtown… except the traffic is at a standstill at the next light as well because there is ANOTHER fender-bender at my left-hand turn lane.
I look at the clock. It’s 4:30. Class starts at 4:30, and I hate being late. I think being late is obnoxious, especially when there is a guest speaker. Yesterday over a third of the class was late. We had a guest speaker, and it was embarrassing to watch people come in and disrupt her. It was as if people strolled in and flipped her off.
15 minutes and 20 feet later, I realize that I was not making progress. My neighborhood is hopelessly gridlocked. It is time to go to work. I did not plan on going to work today, but I stayed at work until midnight. Hmmf. At least things cooled down for the evening dog walk.
