Snowed in...

Sorry about the length, and the lack of interest. It’ll get better.

So, today was a bit of a wash. I was hoping to wake up to snow, exciting, playful “christmas-ey” snow! 7am: I hate my alarm, and I hate that there is no snow. I skipped my morning run for several reasons: 1) My new bed is far too comfortable. 2) It was suppose to snow. 3) I went to bed late (12pm) and the extra hour would do me good at work today. Or at least, all of this was my mental justification for skipping it.

At work, which is always interesting…I burst in the door “Good morning Walter!!” to receive a groaned “Yeah hello”. Walter as with the rest of the Orange County Granite’s employees had a bit too much fun at the Holiday Party the night before. Things really get crazy when you give the secretaries a tab at the bar and Martini’s are the drink of choice. I’ve never felt so youthful and energetic before than when surrounded by middle aged office workers. Although I find myself a bit cynical at times its different when they say “kill me now” verse when I say it. They have this undertone of reality to it, whereas I am just being over dramatic. Either way I passed the time with answering phones, and scheduling this and that.
At noon it had started to snow, and stuck immediately. I was starving as was the rest of my roommates who I also work for/with. I was taking sandwich orders so I could bring them food back. It took me thirty minutes to drive one mile. My car wouldn’t stop when I asked it to stop. I proceeded to have a heart attack as I had to steer off the road as opposed to in the back of the soccer mom’s minivan in front of me. The money it costs to repair is what runs through my mind, not my safety or well being but money. I decided this was a problem. I finally got home and called work in a panic-I don’t like to be the employee with excuses but no way was I going back. I ate lunch and plopped myself on the sofa with spiked hot cocoa and watched a What Not To Wear marathon. Stacy and Clinton know what they are talking about…amazing transformations. I took a lot of mental notes. Checked facebook like a jillion times and decided to make this blog with the support of my friends.
