i can't complain, really. what with only having to leave the guardhouse every thirty minutes I get a lot of reading done. and you meet a lot of people. there always seems to be someone trying to cross. haven't you read the sign, I say. no crossing.

people always seem understanding when I turn them back, but they do still keep trying. there's always someone new having a go at it. i work hard and make sure I'm there looking out every half an hour on the dot. I'm sorry madam it's just my job. it's the rules. got to have rules. sometimes they'll make a bit of a scene, plead a bit, stamp their feet or the like. but their heart isn't in it. they know they've got to follow the rules. my commanding presence helps them along.

now I'm only human. it does feel a bit cruel sometimes. these people, sometimes they have everything they own on them. sometimes they bring their kids. all they want to do is get to the other side of the bridge that takes exactly one hour to cross. and I have to look them in the eye and tell them they can't.

one of these days I'm going to let one of them pass. one of these days I'll walk the whole rest of the way with them. I'll make sure they get where they want to go.

so yesterday i had my alarm set for 6:15. i woke up about 6:10 and laid there for a little bit until my alarm went off. except when it went off, i didn't hear my ringtone, but rather this sound dinging at me until i turned off the alarm. after i turned it off, it asked me to log in.

turns out, it had restarted during the night¹, and i guess since it wasn't logged in, it couldn't access my user settings, even though it could still access alarms. the "castor" ringtone is the sound that android uses when it can't load a system sound. pretty neat!

¹ sidenote: i was really pissed off about this actually. i got a new phone for christmas, so this is the first time i've been receiving android updates in a few years. has android always done this shit?? restarting unprompted is the single most annoying thing about windows, and now you're telling me my phone does it too?? i have "smart updates" on which downloads and installs updates automatically, but i didn't think that entailed restarting the phone in the night...

When is someone going to make a game you need to turn your switch into portrait mode to play. Am I gonna have to make it myself. That was always the most fun kind of DS game cmon guys let's go back to the days of Extended Techniques
