So, this morning, I got prosecuted under Murphy's Law. Perfect day to sleep in. I scheduled myself for usability testing today and don't have to be anywhere until about 10am. Awesome, I think as my alarm starts going off at the normal time this morning, I get to sleep in at least an hour! Which is really just about all I need to feel pretty darn accomplished.
But, wait, what's that annoying car alarm sound? Oh, it's a car alarm going off. Fuck...of course. Wait for it. Wait for it. FUCK!
Ten minutes after I would have normally woken up, a car alarm goes off, and then proceeds to go off for the next twenty minutes. Yup. Sleeping in time over.
Ok, so I'll look and make sure none of my neighbors' cars are getting stolen. Oh, look at that, it IS my neighbor's car. And she's in it. FUCK.
Apparently, my neighbor got a new-to-her car that was equipped with a car alarm that apparently will keep her from going anywhere until she figures out how to turn it off. She was on the opposite side of the street where the alarm was triggered and proceeded to go off. Then she decides to start the car and start driving around - at first I hadn't realized it was her in the car and I was very excited at the prospect of the person driving very very far away. But no, it was just my neighbor who decided to just move the car from the opposite side of the street to our side. Thanks.
Then the Mohammad starts laughing at her and offering no help at all. By this time, I'm up. No point in even trying to sleep in at this point. I yell at Mohammad for not being the slightest bit helpful, doesn't anyone know how to disconnect a battery?? For Christ sake. Throw on clothes, go outside, open the hood and look at what I need to disconnect the battery...oh, and Hi, good morning.
Then, just as I'm about to go back in for the right socket, the key goes in the passenger side door and wahlah! no more alarm.
Great, thanks, oh, and good morning to you too. Jerk.
