Pooped Poop

I just finished a 10 hour work day! Yay for me! I was stuck at the airport from 9 till 2:30, then UBC I was until 7:00 I was. I is tired I is.
I’m worried about my girlfriend. She’s in Banff right now, on a tour that she was supposed to be enjoying with her parents and weren’t supposed to be back until 2 tomorrow. Sadly, an unfortunate family emergency occurred in Japan and her mom and a friend have to rush back to Osaka. So Eri, her mom, and her mom’s friend are taking a flight to Calgary at 4:30 Sunday morning and then from Calgary, a flight back to Vancouver at 7:00. Then, the earliest flight to Osaka is at 1:30 so I’ll be with them for a few hours.
Consequence: that will be 7 days in a row now where I got less than or equal to about 6 hours of sleep. The day after that, I have an 8:30 class so that’s 8 days. The day after that, I have to work at 7:30 so that makes 9 days. And the day after that, I have another 8:30 class so the grand total will be 10 days without much sleep. I guess I could go to sleep earlier, but my body is locked to fall asleep between 2 and 2:30am. It’s been like for awhile. Sucks to be me.
I’m not complaining that because of Eri I get less sleep. No way. I’d do anything for her, even if it drains.
Apologies to Andrew who asked me to go to some movie tonight. I’m much too fatigued to watch yet another Tom Hanks movie (I hate his movies now).
Apologies to that guy who came from China today. His flight was delayed from 12:45 to 4:45. That messed up my schedule and it’s the reason why I got a 10 hour shift. When he finally came, it took me half an hour to figure out how to call China for him. He wrote down a fucking number that is something like 00861362942724962. I’m not exaggerating at all. That’s seriously how long the number he wrote down was. The 0086 is the country code I know that.
Anyway, He wrote the 2 and 9 really shittily and I read it as a 4. That was the first problem. The second was when using a fucking calling card, you’re suppose to drop the 00′s in the front of the country codes. I didn’t know that. How is any fucking rational person supposed to know that when the recording tells you to input the country code. It doesn’t mention it at all. Anyway, by the time I fucking finally got the call to go through, I was too tired to give him a tour to the sub and village to show him where to get dinner. So? I just helped him to his room (he had 3 fucking luggage bags) and gave him a map and pointed out to where food can be bought. On the way out, I asked a korean guy to help that fellow out later. I hope he does.
That’s my day. My night will now be resting and doing homework. Goody Bye.
