tired, tired...
after yesterday, i think i have a right to be tired this time. i ended up getting home around 8ish yesterday after finally getting my car jumpstarted with the roadside assistance people. and there were a couple of lessons learned:

1) don't wear boots when you know that you'll be walking a lot.. my feet are hurting really badly this morning.

2) don't always rely on the kindness of strangers. the random guy who initially tried to help me jumpstart my car was kinda creepy. after a while, it was like, "go away. leave me alone, i can call roadside assistance. no i don't need a ride. no i don't need a place to stay." i was so relieved when pat came out of city hall and stayed with me because he left soon after that.

3) i have really nice coworkers. almost everyone that i explained my situation to offered me a ride somewhere even though for most, it was really out of their way. blake even offered to drive me back to fremont if i needed it (even though he lives in burlingame).

4) and the most important lesson of all.. DON'T LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON!
