Long time no blog. It’s only been five days and I’m sure that isn’t a new record by any means. I have an excuse this time anyway. I have been busy as hell the last week. I started working Monday last week and I haven’t had a day off since. I work tomorrow but I told them I would not be there Tuesday. That is eight days in a row, so I guess I’m entitled to a day off. I did find out that even though I am usually awake early in the morning, apparently I’m not exactly a morning person. Lying in bed doing nothing is fine if you are awake at 5 a.m. but getting up and showering and going to work is a different story altogether. Oh yes, driving to work which on a good day takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes was slightly complicated by my least favorite topic.
Snow. It fucking snowed everyday that I had to go into work at 6:45. On Friday I woke up to roughly six inches of wet sloppy snow. By the time I got done with work I think it had snowed another inch or two, but it was all melted off the roads. Saturday morning I went into work and there was a nice layer of ice on the roads covered with a dusting of snow. Apparently the snow removal people have a rule that you don’t need to get your ass out of bed and plow if there isn’t at least six inches of snow because I woke up this morning to about two inches and nothing was plowed in my town. It wasn’t 3 a.m. when I went to work either, it was 6. There was no reason those fuckers couldn’t have gotten out and scraped it down for those of us that had to drive twenty fucking miles to work.
