The Day Before Friday

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

Good morning, everybody.

Its been a rough couple weeks at the work place, so I'm very happy that today is a WFH day for me.

I'm watching the news this morning and someone is interviewing Adrian Fenty, Mayor of Washington, D.C. In the background, they are showing scenes from the city with all of the snow and the snow plows... also showed one person doing something I was joking about yesterday: Cross country skiing through the city.

Late yesterday afternoon some of us were discussing ways to handle the call spikes to the airlines... I suggested routing a percentage of the calls to an announcement saying "It is a blizzard, people. If you would like to get out of New York, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or Maryland, we might suggest you check into a dog sled, snow shoes, or cross country skis. The only thing flying is the snow!!" Obviously, this was voted down.

The last time we had a big snow here, there were a couple people cross country skiing through town. One person apparently skied to class.

Mornin'

I saw on the news last night, they asked a guy why he was jogging down the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue. He said "Because I can" (due to the lack of traffic). It looks really bad out there.

Meanwhile, business as usual here. My shoulder is still grinding, popping, and hurting. Stoopid old age.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

I can see doing that just so you know that you did. I probably would. It just cracked me up that the news showed someone ACTUALLY doing something I was joking about.

Good morning all. The sun is shining right now and bouncing off all the whiteness on the ground. I might need to get my sunglasses out of the car just to look out the windows. It is kind of pretty though; the snow is sparkling like millions of diamonds were thrown on the ground. smile

Got in at noon today. Our driveway is oriented perfectly to capture the drifting snow, so I had another 2 feet drifted onto most of it this am. Took another 2 hours to dig/snowblow it out. Thanks for the snow, I'm ready for spring now!

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

Ghost is of the opinion the snow looks like a million diamonds. Murscclub is ready for spring. I just finished shoveling out my drive by hand with nothing but a shovel. I believe I am ready for spring too. You dont have to shovel rain or sunshine.

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Afternoon all. Had to dig out first. I rolled into the office at 1pm. Spent three hours messing with the snow. And not even in a good way. Two storms, over three feet of snow in five days. Yeah, I have had enough. But at least I am here. Since all of the accounting department was here I figured I ought to get in too. I am prettry sure tax day will arrive before this snow melts.

Id anyone neds any, Murs and I have discounted rates and will ship it to you.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

You alll got out of your homes again!

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Wasn't easy. This snow way a heavy, wet one. I thought we had about 19-20". Both neighbors seems to think it was closer to two feet. I dunno. I do know it was a lot to move. Guess I really should think about purchasing a snowblower. The small electric snow thrower that I have can't handle more than six inches. That way it will ensure that we don't get this much snow for the next ten years.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

I guess that is one way of going about warding off snow.

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

If it works, I will invest in one.

However, something makes me think that there won't bee too many leftovers that Lowe's or Home Depot will be trying to clear out this year. ALways good to buy larger ticket items like that at the end of the season. I like a good clearance deal.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

I'm sure they will be hard to find. They get bought up pretty quick when the folks are faced with a lot of shoveling.

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

I have resisted the temptation once again! biggrin

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

Good for you for toughing it out!

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Don't worry D, when I am wealthly I will buy you a snowblower too.

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

Heres a plan B...Move us all to Hawaii or SanDiego or somewhere warm. biggrin

Just Sayin. smile

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

But the snowblower is cheaper. Besides, I thought you were happy out there in cheeseland.

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Or, I have another idea. You and the band make it big and you can move whereever you desire.

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

Fuzzy, I see we are negotiating. wink

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

At some point you know I will ask what'sin it for me? So far I see nothing happening for me in this deal.

Dylan · Leader Of The Banned

I guess my question would be what would you want?

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Sadly, I do not know.

$1m would be a good place to start.

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

Good afternoon all you FFReaks!

I

CAN

NOT

WAIT

FOR

TOMORROW!!!!

This has been the longest week EVER!

Hope your week has been better.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

Agreed! Its been a long two weeks for me. Frankly, I wish it was 4PM tomorrow and I had someplace else to be other than work or home.

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

If you want, you can come to my house to visit the snow.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

That would rock if I liked snow.

confuzzed · Permanent State of Confusion

Minor technical difficulty.

It is not like I am asking you to shovel it.

Mad Mema · Bad Biker Granny

Yeah, I know... alas the airlines are booked with all the nimrods who were calling the airlines yesterday. Believe me... they are still calling in droves today.
