Next time a bus goes past you bring a catapult and a rotten egg and then see if the bus driver pays attention.

Thanks for listening, I feel better now I guess. At least I can say so.
That's just ficking crazy. You are half a world away and you have just described (excluding the band and concert thing) my current world! What is with the world that it seems to work in these patterns. Nothing can just happen on it's own. It just seems to rush headlong out there and make things shit for a whole range of people all at the one time.
Please excuse the rant - even in the compaining thread. It's 5:00pm on a sunday afternoon and I'm unhappily drunk at this time so really in the mood to unload on everything right now.
Slade, it is not just RIT (although I don't know what RIT stands for) bus drivers. It's all bus drivers and their fucking bullshit timetables that still somehow allow 5 buses on the same route to end up driving right behind each other all the way to their final destination.
Spoony, I rage at the injustice. I love pomegranate and lament the lose of such a fine thing. You must ensure that this is rectified immediately. Speaking of which I need to do the same. It has actually been to long.

My sleep schedule is completed reversed, my pill schedule is skewed (I have three prescriptions that I have to take daily at specific times, and a fourth if I actually plan to focus on anything), and my Ambien - which I'm out of anyway, hence the experimentation - is having less and less effect, even after I go without for a period to get it out of my system.
I am irritated.

I got three broken laptops.
The one that works has a problem with the display mechanism. So the display falls the other way. It is a Compaq Presario 1200. I opened it all up to study the insides. Nothing special, Celeron 600 Mhz processor and a rubbish Via chipset with shared video memory. Oh well I thought I could use that for remote access round the house with a wireless adapter since the battery still charges.
The display mechanism is supported by two metal bits that screw on the board. These two bits have a screw (lots of teeth) like bit at the end that plugs in the side of the screen. Problem: crew bit pushed back through the hole on the other side. So the thread was lost causing the display to fall back.
Solution I used a pair of pliers to hammer the screw bit foward and then I covered the holes with solder to stop it rolling out again.
After that the display stopped falling back and I did EVERYTHING perfectly until the last minute of putting the screws on finaly the top cover.
I heard a clicking sound and the display fell back again.
I opened it up and on the problem part the thread inside the display broke and the teeth on the metal bit broke.
I was up at three in the morning trying to find solutions but eventually no matter what material I put in with the bit would break apart and my room was a mess. The other old laptops I have don't use the same part. Out of all that effort I get nothing.
Now I have to send an email of the fault of the steering servo on the car from the videos I recorded. Another stoppage is the date I had it. Lots of paper to sort out and scan.
Another reason why I am cursed!

The guys in Seattle who run the C 89.5 Worldwide radio station are playing lots of awful industrial music this morning. Which is almost all industrial music, since only very few people know how to do it right... or at least, that's how it appears to me... bleargh... I should have brought my Bob Marley alb- heey~ya, wait, I have brought my Bob Marley albums somewhere on my MP3 players. I guess things can still brighten up then.

you know what? screw that, I think I'm going to go outside and play in it anyway.
Slade: what is it with bus drivers?! in high school, there would be about five of us waiting for the bus, and the driver would see us, but drive right past us anyway, making us have to chase after the bus.
Spoon: I feel your pain, my pomegranate is all gone too perhaps the future will bring more.

I have one solution if you don't live to far from the destination. Bicycle and luggage holders. One free alternative to walking if you already have a bike. I just know that soon some hypocritical authoritarian idiot is going to enforce number plates, licence, taxes, and possibly insurance on that.
Next thing the jails will be full of cyclists...

On top of that, I'm a night owl, and my mantra and body clock have been immutably under the "late to bed and late to rise" system for years, so it's even worse for me.

It would be convenient to change the schedule around (without messing around with a highly dependably accurate object most people depend on) for those who wish to wake up earlier or later.
One egocentric person:
Right sunshine now appears at an hour below 7.00 a.m. So at 7.00 a.m. I want YOU ALL to think it is 6.00 a.m. SO YOU will have to set your clocks back an hour to 6.00 a.m.
