Epic drive home.

The road up the mountains to our place was closed for an accident, and the round-about back way is still closed from the floods. The only other way up is "Winding Trail Road" which is a steep, curvy one Lane road through a gated community posted No Tresspassing. Karol drove it once in the daylight and dry conditions when our road was closed, and vowed to not do it again because of the hairpin turns, steep drop offs, and lack of guardrails. I had to do it.

Fortunately I had the new sneakers on the Tundra, slipped it into 4WD, and crept up the 10 miles through 4" of untracked powpow. It was dark and the headlights wouldn't show past the falling flakes, so I have no idea how stupid this might have been, but I got home to a big batch of homemade chili.

Prospects are not good for getting down tomorrow, there are severe weather advisories for heavy snow and high winds through Wednesday night. At least I brought home some much needed dog food.

That is awl.

So, I have decided to boycott my personal stalkerbook page, too much crapola. I would have suspended it outright but then I couldn't post in either of my work related pages. I'm hoping to update the woodworking page soon with pics of the bed in progress.

You have been serious for a while, but you've made a decsion?

Done

Done

I OTOH haven't posted anything inane, offensive or strange on the FB in like three months. I should do something about that.

Would post but LTC is nearing £40 and my webbrowser wastes precious, precious gpu power.

I have no idea what that means. When did Scotland go back to the dial-up stone age?

and looks who has a new job, too. this guy (two thumbs pointing at my chest).

small work. social media stuff for an art supplies website. doesn't pay overly well, but the guys seem good and the work is good and it'll help pad build increase / augment / balloon create some cash in the US again, and it means i may even get to visit my family next july when my grandmother hits 90.

Things are looking up.

so here's my rant of the day:

i took two prints into a framing store over a month again. i told the female store owner that i needed the prints the beginning of december to take back to canada. a side note, both prints gifts from friends. anyhow, went into the store today to pick up the prints. i had not been contacted by the store, but i assumed they were done. the woman was on the phone and actually went in the back room to FINISH the personal call, without acknowledging me.


she got off the phone and i asked her for the prints. she acted like a deer in the headlights and then gave me the "i've been so busy speech including details of her sick mother, time getting away, etc". good christ, it's been over a bloody month. it totally screws me around because i'm not around to pick up the prints and it's a pita for the hubby to try and get them because of his work schedule. she said they would be done next week. hopefully, she will come through and stay open for the prints to be picked up.


while she ranted, i think she expected me to say don't worry or it's okay......which i didn't!! should i have said something like that. I usually reserve that for when i mean it. like this am, i was supposed to have a massage, and the masseuse calls me and said he's at the urgent care clinic with his daughter who had strep throat. in that case it was okay, because he called, offered up different appts and it was an emergency. this woman had a lot of time and she didn't call me.


serenity now!!

WOO!

sadly I think I'm on the job hunt nao

the current rumor mill suggests I am much smarter if I bail than try to hang in through all the changes..... as it sounds like the changes includes sending awl our jorbs to china

have I even mentioned how much I hate job hunting?

there are a few possibilities, but I would really like to work at a place where I like what they do (like an active, outdoor oriented company). Those are hard to find though it seems... or I don't know where/ how to look... or I live in the wrong state still...

I'm with you. No need to apologize. I would have asked for the prints back to be honest and just sucked up to the idea that they wouldn't be ready in time.

Wait, you have Facebook friends?

Done

Definitely going to take the lessons, so yeah. But there are a couple of things in the works that may be fitting quite nicely into the business plan, unexpectedly so, but so regardless. We'll see what happens the next two years.

WOO!
