I have been snowed in my fucking house since Tuesday evening. Now, I love the SO and all that jazz but for fuck sake togetherness only goes so far. He drove me to the office today at about 9:30. My Big Boss, (who is really the best Boss anyone could ask for) was the only one here, he came out and was BSing with the SO. As the SO turns to leave he says to BB, "You take her for a day. I've had her for 2." TRUTH. I'm out until Tuesday now due to the holiday. More time together. FOCUS: Weather related horror stories of any kind? alt focus:
I averaged about 30 mph driving through Iowa thanks to that storm that rolled in for Christmas. Got to watch a tiny car almost get sucked under a semi in the opposite lane of traffic right next to us but instead they only got wrapped around the front and sent into the median. Good times. Rather than actively avoiding my boss and her bosses at the party tonight I'm going to hang out with the doggies and get stuff done in the shop. Life is too short for me to be hanging around assholes and work was hell today, it is time to do something that I actually enjoy.
We're supposed to be getting a huge ice storm. They canceled school for today yesterday afternoon, work had a big generator brought up from Springfield, there's been lots of anxiety and panic. So far it's hardly done anything here. The brunt of it isn't even supposed to hit until tomorrow night but whatever we were supposed to get today didn't live up to the hype. While everyone else was buying their bread and milk to prepare, I made a last minute stop at the liquor store. I'm prepared to spend the weekend at home with the kids, ice storm or no.
Unfocus? possibly maybe?: Favorite Bond Girl. Favorite can mean sexiest or best character. My vote for sexiest goes to Daniela Bianchi
Interviewed a lady this morning who told me she quit her last job in early December because she "didn't wanna work during the holidays." I'm thinking perhaps the unemployment rate is where it is not because there aren't jobs, but because people are literally too stupid to hire.
You know who can go fuck themselves? Shoplifters who made blister packaging a thing. I'm tired of my beard. I ordered a beard trimmer so I could trim it down to nubbins that could be tackled with a razor. It arrived in a blister pack. I had to work one hour to afford the trimmer. I then had to spend 15 minutes with a very sharp knife to get to my beard trimmer because some assholes don't want to work for shit. The knife I used cost me about 2 hours work and it's going to take me another hour to resharpen it after opening the package. So....I just gave up 4.25 hours of my life for something that should've cost 1 hour because the world is filled with assholes. And they can go fuck themselves.
Used to be black, faded to a grey ash like colour which has now turned into a very distinguished (if I may say so) off white
Mine was blackish, with a bit of red around my chin (Thanks Grandmas! Both were redheads.) Now it's just white. At least it still keeps my face warm in the winter.
Were having another warm and cold winter again. It's the middle of January and there is no snow outside. It will be borderline warm in a couple days. On the flip side we've had some snowstorms accompanied ball-shrivelling wind chill. I can handle winter elements, but wind is what makes me despise winter most. It's what keeps me inside. That and everything is dirty.
I'd rather work with sheet metal than that fucking blister pack stuff. No kidding. 2 days ago we had a shit-ton of snow, then it all melted into a big slushy mess and it went up to 9 degrees C (50F) and rained, then it went down to -11C and kind of snowed but killer winds around 100 kmph... no snow to be seen and everything is dry. I feel like I'm back living in Edmonton again where you got 4 seasons of weather, daily.
I'm just glad it's out of the teens and my car starts without issue. Supposed to ice storm tonight then rain until god knows when. Gross.
It's been hovering between 48 for a low and 56 for a high here lately with a couple of days of rain. I'm not going to complain. It's been single digits back home in Idaho and my property in Missouri is getting hit with the big ice storm. The sad thing is, I'd rather be in either of those places instead of stuck in the big, warm, full of people city.
