My holiday...where is it?

It's Friday today, and I was supposed to have this day off, and enjoyed a full day of snowboarding.

I requested the day off on Sunday with my boss, and he promptly confirmed that I dont have to come to school that day, and the other TA will cover my lab hour.

So, I planned, planned, and planned for a snowboard trip and expected to hit the slope with nothing hanging over the back of my mind.

Then came thursday, when I learnt that the French guy finally came to our research group, and I would be responsible to "setup" (that includes looking for an idle PC, cleaning it up, putting an OS, setting an acct, network...etc) for him. So, I spent like 2 hrs trying to get the PC ready on thursday morning...

But then the PC was not working, and my boss told me: Can you come to school tmr around noon to make sure the PC is ready by then?" I thought...ok, by noon, i can still at least get half a day of snowboarding. So, I said yes...

Only until later that night, I got an email from my boss telling the undergrads that I will be in the lab on fri to answer questions. Wut the F?

So, I ended up still working here in the office at 730 pm, on a friday nite, when I was supposed to be rolling down a hill full of snow...

So now, I just keep telling myself: Dont be angry, dont be upset, dont be disappointed...I will go snowboard next wkend...

God bless my soul!
