Read the title.
Ah-yup. My week should be over.
(1) Wake up earlier than usual.
(2) Mistake pomegranite juice for milk. Fuck up the cheerios.
(3) It's going to snow heavily today. Most of the schools are cancelled. We're at work.
(4) Make leaded coffee in the decaf pot. Do nothing about it.
(5) Since arriving at work 1 hour early, everything else for the week is done.
(6) Mistakenly arrive at conference room for weekly meeting, that has been held on Thursdays forever, and wonder why the fuck everyone in there is looking at you strange.
(7) Realize that it is Wednesday, not Thursday, and sulk, because...
(8) It's 7:00 AM and you're done with work for the day.
(9) I don't think coffee will help me today.

(10) Get tasked to complete a work order that has been complete for 2 weeks. Do you (a) pretend to do it so as to not be subsequently tasked with something else; (b) delegate the task to the new guy to see what he'll do with it; or (c) explain that it is done & has been done for weeks?
(11) After choosing option C get tasked to show the FUNGUS how you did the task so quickly and effiecently. [WTF???? It took me 4 days to do it the first time...] (12) Teach the computer illerate co-worker how to book airline tickets online.
(13) Dream of pancakes, but get the mental image ruined by conversation of fat women in the YMCA swimming pool.
For real.... I have another 6 hours of this shit today.

(14) Meet the new customer and realize that he is a huge shit-talker. {read: arrogant}
(15) It's snowing.

1. It's 7:15 and you lie in bed thinking, should I get up.
2. You get up and have to decide between fixing breakfast or just having coffee as you surf the net.
3. You here wife moving around. She must have smelled the coffee.
4. Maybe it's time to fix breakfast.
5. There is 3 inches of new snow covered with ice and it's raining and there will be more snow later today. I think I will just stay inside today.
6. Oh, I don't have a work day anymore.    
Have a good day.

suck it up princess. you get used to it. I'm goin on 30 years in the corporate industry, now, its a cruise.
you young pups sure do whine alot ;-)
here, for your amusement. last night, before my guitar students showed up, I whipped out the digicamcorder and videographed this:
Unrepentant Art
watch in high quality.
had cafeteria french toast for brekky this morning. not quite as good as i'd hoped.
email notice arrived last night that my BD Reactors have shipped! YES!. the UPS website listed the package weight as 3.0 lbs, so I think "huh, that can't be right." and do a serch on "BD Reactors". lo and behold i find a review on Rock adn Ice that lists the individual tool weight as 1.8 lbs.. well now, there's a thing, eh? simplificate and add lightness.

Epoch: It's Ohio, they get 1/2" and everyone loses their minds. Dodging the other drivers between the destinations would be the hardest part of the trip.
Morning all, very lax evening last night...once I got home. Ran errands, and got home later than usual. Didn't get dinner until after putting the kid to bed. at least I got a decent nights sleep before this impending cold hits full force.
XXL me, so I can pop these Advil.

you're thinking of sc. here people wait for at least a couple inches. but it did ice storm all night, so what's on the ground at the moment is an inch of snow, an inch of ice, and 2-3 inches of snow, stacked.

It is other drivers that is my primary concern. As for Ohio, they handle snow better than Textards, but not as well as the rugged westerners where I grew up.

Driving in texas when there are clouds in the sky is a hazardous endeavor.

uuugh.
1) Windstorm last night woke me up around 1:30
2) Don't get back to sleep until almost 3:30.
3) Hit snooze as often as possible. Get up at 7:15.
4) Shower, cut your face shaving, and realize you're out of shampoo so you use soap instead.
5) Skip breakfast because you're late.
6) Get to work, drink some of the nasty coffee in the pot, and check the schedule: Coprorate CEO here today for an "all staff" meeting.
7) Wonder if you can call off sick once you've already been seen in the office.

What the F - that's not true! This isn't Phoenix or Atlanta!? I'm up in Clevlenad where we DO have school today and we did get 8 inches of snow last night AND it's not stopping till tonight. The roads are not that clear but the highways are moving smoothly. I accidentally rooster-tailed the traffic guy today and had a blast driving to work. Hahaha!
Coffee please!

Ahh there are shitty drivers everywhere. Anyone who tries to pretend otherwise are lying bastards. I spent a week in Vail for 4 years and was constantly amazed at how frigging slow and scared the drivers from Denver to Vail seemed. heavily plowed, heavily salted, good snow tires, still doing 30 MPH on an interstate in a light snow. ARRGH!
Also learned I really REALLY don't ski powder well and one week a year is not enough time to get good at it.
Morning all. Coffee me.
