edlib Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Plows finally came around 12:30... an hour after I supposed to start work. Golden. Just rain right now. Sloppy evil wet mess out there. Just came in from clearing the enormous pile of plow-slush at the end of the driveway, before the temps plummet, and it froze solid. Whoo-Ha. Been on the phone all day trying to troubleshoot technical problems from home. I should bill a fee regardless. Sounds like they're having fun today... the term "douche bag" came up more than once in reference to a member of the road crew. Maybe missing work wasn't such a bad thing after all...

edlib Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I wanted the money. XBox 360 fund, don'tchaknow? Plus it's Aimee Mann... and while she's not one of my all-time super-faves, it's still usually a pretty good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 We didn't get all that much it total... it's just the heavy, wet, slushy sloppiness factor that made it such a suck situation... the fact that it snowed 6 inches in a couple of hours, then immediately turned to sleet, then rain. But reports from work make it sound like I was the only one who really had a difficult time travelling today. Everybody else seemed to make it in all right. I probably could have too... IF the city had plowed my area in some kind of reasonable timeframe. Think I can sue them for the loss of my working funds? How about time lost and sheer aggravation?

Cmdr. Cracken Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The roads just flat out suck. That, and there's those other stupid idiots out there in their fancy SUV's driving at 748926 billion miles per hour, riding your ass while you're in a FWD Chevy Cobalt and can realistically only go about 35 miles per hour. F**kers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Of course, the ride back home from work might be 10-times more dangerous than the ride in was: The temps around here dropped to below freezing this evening, and all that water on the roads just became black-ice. I hope all my co-workers made it back home all right. As pissed as I was about the situation today, that's really something I have no desire to see.

K_Kinnison Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 American football was interesting today. Miami wins.. this ending their near perfect losing record Cowboys lose, thus making home field advantage in the playoffs in jeopardy Favre beats the all-time passing yardage record... with many thanks to the many yards after the catch from his recievers With Seattle Seahawks loss, Packers clinch a first round bye in the playoffs.

Rogue15 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 DAMN....played 1 level of splinter cell double agent....took me over 75 attempts to get it right trying to be a perfectionist (didn't want to sound alarms so i kept reloading game) i'm playing on normal difficulty, though there is easy mode, where's the fun in that.

Zargon Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 who cares about those cheaters anyways bears play tonight with Orton starting I sense losing to gain draft picks is the new strategy Farve also gained ground in padding his career interception record with 2 picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K_Kinnison Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 what most people don't realize about the INT record is that the current #2 and #3 holders had more INTs then touchdowns, and even Peyton Manning and Tom Brady have an almost 2 to 1 ratio for touchdowns and INTs.. which is only slightly worse then Favres ratio of .. er... 3 to 2 heck Elway has a 4 to 3 ratio and he still had two superbowl wins and inducted into the hall of fame Favres INT numbers are nothing more then people saying sour grapes to arguably the best NFL quarterback ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue15 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 smashed my alarm clock, and it still works. i hate when i wake up before it goes off and forget to shut it off. then i got the ****ing phone AND the alarm ringing sounds so annoying. good thing it never really played cds cause if there was a cd in there, it would probably be shattered....augh... gotta get 2-3 loads of laundry done today as well as more christmas shopping. only need to buy a few things yet.

edlib Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yeah... I need to do ALL my shopping today, before this party. Working all day tomorrow, 2nd party on Thursday, working Friday. This is my absolute last chance, for the most part. I need to have everything I'm going to get by Sunday. I guess I could go out Friday night or Saturday... but that would just be insane. And the ironic part of all of this for me is that I don't even celebrate Christmas! Even as a purely secular event. I still have no idea how I got roped into all of this nonsense...

edlib Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Well,.. now that you mention it... Yeah, I get that a lot. But I have my reasons. I wasn't even all that fond of this particular Holiday as a kid. I don't mind it as an excuse to get together and have dinner with the extended family... but all the other traditions that have come to surround this day I have no particular use for.

Wildstar Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Moss is making brady look way better than he is And I think Marvin Harrison has always made Peyton look better than he is, so we're even. And Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark, for that matter, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
