Today is being difficult

torquillI hate days like this. I feel like I don't have a legitimate complaint, as I actually have managed to do everything I need to so far... it's just been so much more stressful than it really needs to be.
I did manage to register for all my classes at 6am this morning... but only after finding out that the net was down when I woke up. I trekked downstairs, powercycled the router, found that it was still down, and concluded that I would have to do it at school before class.... before discovering that it had spontaneously come back up.
I caught my train... after leaving home ten minutes late, swearing at the ice coating the windshield, flying down the road as fast as I possibly could, parking swiftly and hurrying to the station to get there just at the departure time. Meanwhile, the train was ten minutes late.
I got off at Davis station to discover that, since they are replacing some of the tracks there soon, they've demolished all but one of the walkways across the west track; we were on the east track, of course. We got to walk all the way to the end of the platform to cross -- the end that was completely opposite the one at which my bike was parked.
I had had to tie my bike to one of the post-and-chain fences on Saturday, so I ended up fighting its tendency to fall over/roll away while my cargo net spontaneously detached itself. The net never does that.
It's going to be a long day.
