I guess yesterday was Chris Pirillo's last day as host of Call for Help on TechTv. I'm not sure how I'm feeling about that. I used to spend every waking moment watching TechTv. I haven't watched it at all since I went back to delivering. When I'm home, there is always something lame on that channel now. It's not the helpful, informative channel that it used to be.

Since I've been home today and catching up on my blog reading, I was reminded of an event on Tuesday that I wanted to share:

When I got to class, a fellow student remarked that since it was April Fool's Day that we should all keep a sharp eye on our teacher, as he is the type that pulls pranks on an ordinary day. About an hour into class, he asks if everyone is ready for the midterm today. The rest of us remained silent, but one student (who had arrived late) said, "Sure." Well, the teacher came back with a stack of papers and began handing out the mid-term. You should've seen how wide the eyes of the kid who had spoken got. The questions on the exam were way out in left field. It ended up being one of those read all the questions, write your name at the top and turn it in type of prank tests. I swear every year I get a teacher that love to try and "trick" students. Anyhow, everyone but the poor kid who spoke got it and turned it in. He was sweating and looking around at everyone. He looked like he was going to have heart failure. When he got to the last question, he knew he had been had. Poor kid. That's what you get for not reading the directions!

This was really funny (via tinyblog).

Current mood: tired & depressed
So, here's how my day's been going:

I have really bad teeth. It's my own fault. Too much Coke-drinking and cough drop-sucking, not enough teeth brushing and no dentist check-ups. Well, one of them decides to be an ass yesterday. I was in so much pain that I was a real bitch at work and then I couldn't sleep at all last night. I even drove to King Soopers at 3 a.m. to buy Anbesol, but it didn't help. I applied for an "instant approval" dental loan, but four hours later I had yet to get a reply. I called the dentist I went to the last time I needed a tooth pulled and "luckily" someone cancelled and I was off to the dentist. Now I'm missing three teeth on the left side of my mouth. He also wanted to pull 2, possibly 3 on the other side. Since I don't yet have a dental loan, that will have to wait. Looks like it's a partial down the road for me. Oh, boy. Let this be a lesson to you, kids, TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH! I was intrigued by the idea of dental implants until I was informed that they cost $3500 PER TOOTH. That'll have to wait until I win the lottery!!

The only good news for today is I got play hookey from school and work today. Too bad my face is all weird and I'm pooped. Oh, yeah, and since I couldn't sleep last night, I made another couple of blinkies:

 

Well, I'm totally exhausted now. I'm going to try to get some sleep........

UPDATE: I just got an email 6 hours after I applied that they need me to call them because they need more information. *sigh* What's the point of applying online?
