Remedial Math

Angelface is out in California, visiting his mom and sister. Tomorrow after work I’m going to fly out and join them.

I talked to Angel this evening about my travel arrangements. He said my flight would last from 7pm until 1am.

“Holy cow!” I said. “That’s only 4 hours, coast to coast. I can’t believe it!”

Angel couldn’t believe it either –

Mostly because even kids who flunk remedial math know that 7pm to 1am = 6 hours.

But I digress (because my math skills do not impress).

Til next, dear hannihaus readers, adieu.  I’m off the land of fruit and nuts.

    Well, you can always justify it like this, you’re going from FL, where it will be 7pm when you leave, and get there 6 hours later, but it will be only 11pm in CA, so really, it’s only 4 hours. See, it still works :)

    Dima = Oh yeah… that’s what I was thinking…. uh huh.

    Don’t be too hard on yourself. At least you were close. :)

    I am mathematically retarded…I swear..I spent 3 hours yesterday afternoon in a state of near frenzy because I couldn’t do basic accounting in my new job (I think I might have even considered quitting last night around 1am)…only to call the accountant this morning….who told me that I should have been dividing rather than multiplying (a tax issue)….

    Yea, I am THAT bad….

    Have a good trip and thanks for the visit…I promise to talk more shit as often as I can!

  5. I would say no worries, everyone does this, but that’s only for people who have lived on the east coast their who lives. You, however, lived in Alaska where everything is hours behind the rest of the country. lol. I’m only saying this to make myself feel better about doing the same thing more than once.

    I’m glad I’m not the only LD’d kid in math. God I hate that shit.

    Have fun and be careful!

    I often browse the Alaska blog ring and have visited your site a few times. I think you and another blogger should get together and exchange notes. You seem to be from opposite ends of the food spectrum. Read her latest post here >>> http://alaskanamy.blogspot.com/2006/03/1-2-3-im-done.html

    Women and food run together a lot in these here parts… for better of for worse.

  9. so that’s where the land of fruit and nuts is!

    Brilliant! I never would have thought of hiding it in the United States!

    That Randy Jackson contest is hysterical. It would also, by the way, make a great drinking game.

  11. Manuel says:

    Wouldn’t it? What would make a good drink? With the 10 weeks left we should come up with some candidates and then vote them off one by one, resulting in the deciding drink consumed during the finale of American Idol!

    I nominate anything without a goddamn Coke…
