Whoohoo! Took 2 hours and 10 minutes to get to work today. One thing I forgot to do the other day was put on my new wiper blades. Argh! I only remember when I need them. Then one of the punk-ass day managers wanted to mess with me. Word of warning: Never make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry. It's kind of sad, but when I get the "deer in the headlights" look from somebody I'm raging at, it makes me go off even worse. He had me so mad I was shaking. I hate being that angry because I can't remember what I said to him. Oh, well.

On a cheerier note, I found a link for The Hampster Dance. The old link doesn't have the old one on it anymore, just a few new hamster animations. I know it's stupid, but I still like it.

Well, this figures. I got up really early today so I could get dough done before the moron managers get there and there is two inches of snow on the ground and I'm having to wait for the car to warm up. The weather people said there would be a dusting of snow, if that. Dang it. Now it's going to take me way over an hour to get to town. Watch there be nothing in town at all. I haven't listened to the news yet, but the overnight guy on KOA (Rick Barber) said something about driving carefully as he ended his shift. Yay!

Current mood: busy
Wow, I'm actually having a pretty productive day. Amazing how much better I feel when the temperature is in the 50s as opposed to below freezing. I'm just taking a quick break while my lunch cooks and then back to my list. I've already taken out the trash, picked up dog poo, raked up leaves and weeds from the yard, changed the oil in my car, gone to the store (out of paper towels), packed up the remaining Christmas junk sitting around so I can take it to storage later, done two loads of laundry and ran a load of dishes. Whoo Hoo! As soon as I eat, I'm going to wash the car. I haven't done that in ages! Poor thing has been so neglected. Well, back to it.

I am so sick of winter already. I hate being cold, I hate dry dusty air, I hate chilling winds. Most of all I hate short days. The sad thing is that this winter hasn't been all that bad. Maybe that's one of the problems--no moisture equals murder on my sinuses. This kind of weather is worse on my allergies than anything. It's really cold and dry and the furnace being on all the time makes it worse. ICK! (grumble, grumble)

To make matters worse, I just searched the job boards at Monster and Hotjobs and there is zilch. I need to get dressed and find Sunday's paper outside. I'm not feeling too encouraged about what I might find in there, either, but I've got to go look. I went to CollegeAmerica on Friday to look at the job board and the only thing on there was an ad for a research project for people who hadn't yet graduated. Lame.

Marcus and I have been having a MAJOR disagreement the last few days. It just seems like everything is going wrong all at once.

Well, I have to figure out how to pay some bills with my miniscule paycheck I just got. I think I need to sell some stuff on eBay. Oh, boy.

I don't think I've ever mentioned this, but, I LOVE MY GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL!!! Even my dad cooks on a small one that we got him for Christmas a year ago.
