rivkaWhen I decided that I wanted to do a knitting project, I didn't think about the part where you make a mistake in the pattern, don't notice it for a row or two, and then have to do endless ripping-out. Nor had I anticipated the part where you get disoriented after all that ripping-out, and make additional mistakes, and have to rip them out.
When I took this job, I didn't realize how much of my time would be spent criss-crossing campus - or Baltimore - on foot or in sweltering cars, in weather which has probably made me lose ten pounds of water weight in the last week. Nor did I realize that Lydia would have inexplicable and unpredictable fits of micro-management. Nor did I realize that I would still be waiting for the contract to go through in the middle of August.
When I agreed to be born on this planet, I didn't have any idea that my contract ought to include a heat index clause. Tomorrow, the heat index is supposed to reach 109 by five o'clock. And the air quality is rated "unhealthy" for the fourth day in a row. My throat hurts.
I wish to register a complaint.
