The Joys of Nerdity

Man, I definitely should have been taking science classes all along. We haven't even started doing much of anything, and it's fun, because I'm learning stuff. And now I have an excuse to buy a lab coat from American Science and Surplus. Don't think the lab teacher will let me use my Girl Genius goggles though. It's okay, they don't fit over my glasses anyway. I guess I could get prescription lenses put in them, but I'm not sure I'm that dedicated a nerd.

And I've been jamming to music from Jonathan Coulton and Songs to Wear Pants To for the past hour.

And I decided a while ago I wanted to pursue Civil and Environmental Engineering, which is what I'm taking the classes for, so now I have something to work toward and stuff.

Plus an awesome girlfriend I totally love.

So yeah, I'm in a pretty good mood lately, and I'm re-embracing my nerdity, which is probably part of why. So, hey, almost completely good mood. I still find that a little remarkable. Heh.

Tax Bureaucrats

I just had a nice, helpful, civil conversation with a lady at the state tax bureau about some money they think I owe them that I don't. Everything was simple and easy enough to deal with and she was helpful and courteous. It's amazing how when you treat them civilly, people generally do their jobs competently.
