I believe it's called "irony."

azuriteSo I have ONE day a week where I work in the walk-in center (aka my favorite place, aka the place I worked for almost all of last semester), and for the past several months, I've been practically begging the higher-ups to put the Macromedia Studio 8 suite (which faculty and staff members can download from the ITR website FOR FREE) on the computers in here. That way when we get a slew of teaching credential students who make webpages, I can help them out (even if it's technically beyond our scope and teachers should do a better job of educating their students in the basics of a given program).
Anyway, everyone said it's not important enough, you need to be a faculty member just to DOWNLOAD the damn thing, and to install it, you need Administrator privileges, which apparently not even my bosses are. -_-;
Then Zack comes up to me and says "So, go ahead and look at your Start Menu. See what's there on your LAST DAY [in the Walk-In Center]." I told him to choose his method of death.
...Of course, the Dreamweaver suite is sitting on the computer, ready to use. And here I am without an accessible copy of WDKY ANYTHING, desperately wishing I did, because I could *SO* get it done. I don't think anyone will come in during the next two hours we're open, anyway.
I should have just brought my PS2 and played some more Katamari. *WAIL!*
Besides that, two random things:
(1) Is Sarah Brightman's sister really Jade from Sweetbox (aka singing voice of Yuna in FFX-2 English?)
(2) When someone says "I did everything but something something," does it seem to mean "I did everything AND something something." "BUT" is an exception word; you'd think it means they tried everything BUT something something (the absolute last resort, or something completely unrelated and unfeasible). I don't get it. Is this another example of English contorting the true meaning of a phrase and then it becoming common usage?
