Why do coin operated dryers never dry your clothes? They are not making me think they're cheap by only charging $0.75, which I then have to put in three times, not to mention all the checking for doneness. I would gladly pay more up front if it meant the clothes would be done when I got back. And that's all I have to say.

Peeing in the Woods
Jan. 5th, 2007 04:18 pmI have now officially been on the job two days and have learned the following things:
- T-Mobile does not get coverage in rural Louisiana. In fact, the people at the local walmart laughed at the suggestion that it might. Therefore, I may soon be getting a new cellphone number -- like in half an hour soon.
- The hours of the Springhill, LA library, as it seems to be the only place with internet access in the town of Springhill.
- That Springhill hosts the largest movie screen in the entirety of Louisiana. A movie screen in a theater that only shows two movies per week.
- How to read a compass. This is not nearly as involved as it looks.
- I can cross a creek by walking across a gas line pipe. This sounds much more dangerous in retrospect
- Louisiana is really, really rural.
Which leads me to the thing that I am going to have to learn that I really don't want to: How to pee in the woods. Now, it wouldn't be such a bad thing if it was an every-once-in-a-while, we're in a really remote place thing. But we are always in a really remote place, so it will be an everyday thing. I think we all know that I am not nearly that outdoorsy.

Went to sign up to get a yearbook picture taken today because my mother decreed that a yearbook picture would be taken. Apparently, despite the information provided in the anouncements, an appointment was unnecessary, so I was rushed in front of the camera as soon as I had completed the necessary envelope.
Now I had been under the impression that my picture would be taken at a later time so my hair was parted wierdly, I wasn't wearing anything resembling makeup, and I was wearing a tee-shirt with a strange faded section on the sholder. This last part I didn't think would be much of a problem, because I was under the impression that all seniors were having their picture taken in a cap and gown. Apparently that was only to be for one set of pictures. Mom is not going to be happy when she gets the proofs, and since she is the only one who wanted the pictures to begin with that is what really matter.
Could the photographer attempt to get you in a more unnatural possition. Years from now archaeologist are going to believe that the aestetic beauty of our time involved a twisted center of gravity. So you finally get into this uncomfortable postion and the photographer is all "hold that while I change the background." The background couldn't have been changed before I was twisted until I couldn't breath anymore? Grrrr. Finally there was the point where the photographer positioned her hand with the thumb and forefinger making a small circle and raised it straight up. I took this to mean that she wanted me to raise the hat. She said "no, look at me" and proceded to repeat the motion. Then finally she said "like a steering wheel" so I turned the hat which was what she wanted in the first place. Now, I don't know about anyone else, but I have never driven a car by pulling straight up on the wheel like her action indicated.
