[21:52:01] <rafl> audreyt: I'm about to bring PAR and friends to Debian. Maybe you want to have the debian/ dir in svn as well?
Somehow I've managed to set my internal clock about three hours later than EST, meaning I get to work around noon and leave around 20:00. This actually works out much better for me because I feel more rested (not a morning person) and because I have at least a couple of hours with the office to myself (no one understands that office door closed == don't bother me).
Unfortunately, this also means I leave work right around the time events start on campus.
I park near the O'Connell Center. You know. Where the basketball games, concerts, and graduation ceremonies happen.
Yeah.
So apparently tonight there was a graduation ceremony. Now, if I had been paying closer attention, I would have realized this would cause problems in my parking lot and tried to plan my schedule a little better. Oops.
Surprisingly the lot itself wasn't all that bad. People were being courteous, traffic was flowing, etc.
When I turned out of the lot and onto the main campus road, traffic was a little backed up. Nothing too bad, but I knew I wouldn't get home as quickly as usual.
I pulled up behind the car in front of me. Traffic wasn't really moving at this point, and I was a few car lengths away from the big crosswalk. There were about 10 people standing near the edge of the sidewalk, just sort of hanging about and talking.
Right when traffic started moving again, a rather large pickup truck approached from the opposite direction. A few members of the group noticed this truck, and motioned to it as if asking it to stop.
Apparently about half of this group DIDN'T FUCKING NOTICE that their transportation had arrived. No big deal, I think, the cars in front of me haven't really moved all that much.
Oh, but the stragglers. These people were so out of it. After the second wave of people crossed in front of traffic (outside the crosswalk, mind you) and got in the truck, these people FINALLY realized what was going on.
The last woman stopped IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE for a good 10 seconds, blocking traffic. Why? I DON'T KNOW. I hope for her sake that she was drunk off her ass.
I still can't figure out how around ten people fit in the truck, but hey, it was a big truck.
